There is no non-stop flight from Oslo to Bali — the island sits some 11,600 km away, well beyond any direct service from Norway. Every option is a one-stop itinerary through a Gulf, Turkish or European hub, and because those carriers compete hard, the connecting fares are usually the cheapest way to reach Denpasar. This guide covers who flies the route, what a fair return costs in kroner, and when to book.
Route: Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) → Bali, Denpasar (DPS)
Distance: approximately 11,600 km (7,200 miles) direct line
Non-stop flight time: no non-stop service — one-stop journeys run about 17½–30 hours in total, and the cheapest sit at the long end
Direct flights: No. In our fare check the cheapest routings were not the Gulf ones at all: Norse Atlantic into Phuket or Bangkok, paired with a separate Indonesia AirAsia or Thai Airways sector, from 8 188 kr, and Thai Airways via Bangkok at 9 967–14 412 kr. Qatar via Doha was the dearest at 12 888–15 354 kr.
Fares from Oslo to Bali (NOK)
Bali fares swing with both Indonesian dry season and Norwegian holiday demand. The dry season (April–October) is peak travel weather, and the Christmas/New Year window is the most expensive of all; the European shoulder months are quietest and cheapest. The figures below are typical economy return fares in kroner — the lowest are one-stop itineraries booked early, while last-minute and peak-week seats sit well above.
| Month | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | high |
| February | — | medium-high |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium |
| May | — | medium |
| June | — | high |
| July | — | very high |
| August | — | very high |
| September | — | medium |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | medium |
| December | — | very high |
Checked against every return fare on sale as we write, Bali from Oslo costs considerably more than it is usually quoted at: the floor is 8 188 kr, the median 12 739 kr and the dearest fare we found 15 367 kr. So a strong one-stop return is under about 10 254 kr, a typical one is in the high twelve-thousands, and there is nothing in the seven-thousands to wait for. The floor also comes with a condition: it is a self-transfer through Phuket on two separate tickets, over about 20 to 25 hours.
Airlines on this route
No airline flies Oslo → Bali non-stop. Every itinerary changes planes once at the carrier’s hub.
One-stop (the only option — and usually well priced):
- Norse Atlantic via Phuket or Bangkok — the cheapest fares we found, 8 188–10 981 kr, but they are self-transfer combinations: a Norse long-haul plus a separate Indonesia AirAsia or Thai Airways sector, over about 20 to 25 hours.
- Thai Airways via Bangkok — 38 of the hundred cheapest fares at 9 967–14 412 kr, through-ticketed all the way to Denpasar.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — two rotations a day, a wide onward network into Asia, 11 013–13 187 kr.
- Qatar Airways via Doha — frequent daily connections and consistently strong economy, but at 12 888–15 354 kr it was the dearest carrier on the route when we checked, not the best value.
- Emirates via Dubai and KLM via Amsterdam — a twice-daily Gulf option and a European routing with a shorter first leg; neither appeared among the cheapest fares we found.
On the dates we could price it was the Southeast Asian routings that undercut everything else, not the Gulf ones — so if price is the priority, look first at a stop in Bangkok or Phuket, and read whether the ticket is through-checked or a self-transfer before you book. SAS and Norwegian only cover the short- and medium-haul legs of Europe, so they do not serve this route themselves.
When to book & how to save
- Book 2–4 months ahead for the best balance of price and choice — long-haul Bali fares rarely fall in the final weeks.
- Avoid the peaks: Norwegian summer (July–August) and Christmas/New Year are the busiest and most expensive.
- Target the shoulder months (March, May, September, October) for the lowest fares in good travel weather.
- Compare hubs: Doha, Dubai and Istanbul routings often differ by 1–2 000 kr on the same dates.
- Check the bag rules: Gulf and full-service carriers usually include 25–30 kg to Bali; the cheapest “light” fares may not, so compare the all-in price.
Arriving in Bali
All flights land at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), just south of Denpasar and only a few kilometres from Kuta and Jimbaran. There is no train; the usual way into the resort areas is a metered airport taxi or a pre-booked car. Reckon on roughly 150–250 kr (about 250,000–400,000 rupiah) to Seminyak or Canggu, a little less to Kuta, and considerably more — and a longer drive — up to Ubud or the eastern beaches. Ride-hailing apps work but face restrictions right at the terminal.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Oslo to Bali?
There is no non-stop flight. A one-stop journey through Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Amsterdam takes about 17 to 19 hours in total, including the connection. The exact time depends on the hub and how long the layover runs — a tight Gulf connection is quickest, while a longer stopover can stretch the trip beyond 20 hours.
Are there direct flights from Oslo to Bali?
No. No airline flies non-stop from Oslo to Bali — the distance is too great for a direct service from Norway. Every option changes planes once. The most convenient through-ticketed one-stops are Thai Airways via Bangkok, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and Qatar Airways via Doha; the cheapest, from 8 188 kr, are Norse Atlantic long-hauls into Phuket or Bangkok paired with a separate Indonesia AirAsia or Thai Airways ticket, so you make the connection and recheck the bags yourself.
How much does it cost to fly from Oslo to Bali?
A typical economy return runs about 10 254–13 795 kr, median 12 739 kr, with the fares we could price spanning 8 188–15 367 kr. The best deals start at 8 188 kr on a Norse Atlantic self-transfer through Phuket in the shoulder months, and the July–August and December peaks push toward the top of that range.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Oslo to Bali?
March, May, September and October are usually the cheapest. In the dates we could price, returns started at 8 188 kr. Avoid the Norwegian summer holidays and the Christmas/New Year window, which are the busiest and most expensive of the year.
Which airlines fly from Oslo to Bali?
All are one-stop. Cheapest first in our fare data: Norse Atlantic via Phuket (8 188–9 521 kr, the floor, with Indonesia AirAsia flying the last sector) or via Bangkok (9 510–10 981 kr), Thai Airways via Bangkok (9 967–14 412 kr, 38 of the hundred cheapest fares), Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (11 013–13 187 kr), Iberia via Doha (11 540–15 367 kr) and Qatar Airways via Doha (12 888–15 354 kr, the dearest on the route). Emirates via Dubai and KLM via Amsterdam also sell it but neither appeared among the cheapest when we checked. The low fares here run through Southeast Asia, not the Gulf.
Which airport do I fly into in Bali?
You land at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), Bali’s only commercial airport, just south of Denpasar near Kuta and Jimbaran. It is close to the main southern beach areas, so transfer times to Seminyak, Canggu or Nusa Dua are short; Ubud and the east coast are a longer drive inland.
How far in advance should I book Oslo to Bali flights?
Aim to book 2 to 4 months ahead. Long-haul fares to Bali tend to rise as departure nears, especially around the summer and Christmas peaks, so early booking almost always wins. Setting a fare alert a few months out is the simplest way to catch a dip.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than Friday–Sunday, and flying out and back on weekdays can save several hundred kroner on a return. Being flexible by a day or two is one of the easiest ways to cut the fare on this route.
