Airlines on this route
Non-stop: none — no airline flies Warsaw to Bali directly.
One-stop (all itineraries connect through one hub):
- Qatar Airways via Doha — among the quickest and most frequent, with strong 5-star economy and a smooth single connection.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — many weekly options and often keenly priced; a convenient hub with a long free-tour option on longer layovers.
- Emirates via Dubai — comfortable widebodies and a generous baggage allowance, though total time runs longer.
- Etihad via Abu Dhabi — a solid Gulf alternative, frequently competitive on fare.
- Singapore Airlines via Singapore — excellent product and a logical geographic stop, usually toward the higher end.
- LOT Polish Airlines feeds partner connections from Warsaw, and European carriers such as KLM (Amsterdam) or Lufthansa (Frankfurt/Munich) can offer two-stop back-ups.
Because the Gulf carriers compete hard, they usually deliver both the lowest fares and the shortest overall times. If comfort matters most, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines lead; if price is the priority, compare Turkish and the Gulf hubs side by side.
When to book & how to save
- Book 3–5 months ahead for long-haul Asia fares — last-minute prices to Bali rarely drop.
- Avoid July, August and the Christmas peak, the busiest and priciest windows from Poland.
- Target the European shoulder (late April–May, September–November) for the best mix of price and weather — Bali’s dry season runs to around October.
- Be flexible on the hub: the same trip can be hundreds of złoty cheaper via Doha or Istanbul than via a premium stop.
- Check checked-bag rules: Gulf and full-service carriers usually include 25–30 kg to Bali, but always compare the all-in price with bags added.
Arriving in Bali
All flights land at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), just south of Denpasar and a short drive from the main resort areas. There is no train; the usual options are a pre-booked hotel transfer or a ride-hail/metered taxi. Reaching Kuta or Seminyak takes 15–40 minutes and costs roughly 40–90 zł depending on traffic and distance; Ubud is farther (around 60–90 minutes). Agree the fare or use an app before setting off, and factor in Bali’s tourist arrival levy, payable online or on arrival.
Frequently asked questions

Which airlines fly from Warsaw to Bali?
All are one-stop. Cheapest first in our fare data: Etihad via Abu Dhabi (3,582–7,586 zł, two-thirds of the cheap fares and the outright floor), Qatar Airways via Doha (4,230–7,310 zł, and the best typical price on the route), Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (4,336–9,619 zł) and LOT Polish Airlines connecting through Istanbul (8,718–9,515 zł, the dearest). Emirates via Dubai and Singapore Airlines via Singapore also sell the route but did not appear among the cheapest fares when we checked.
Which airport do I fly into in Bali?
You arrive at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), also called Denpasar, the island’s only international airport. It sits close to the southern resort strip — Kuta, Seminyak and Jimbaran are all within a short drive, while Ubud and the north take longer.
How far in advance should I book Warsaw to Bali flights?
Aim for 3 to 5 months ahead. Long-haul fares to Asia tend to climb as departure nears, especially around the summer holidays and Christmas, so booking early almost always wins on both price and connection choice.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than weekend ones, and being flexible by a day or two can save 150–400 zł on a return. On a long connecting itinerary, shifting your dates also opens up better layover times.
