There is no non-stop flight from Vienna to Bali, so every itinerary makes one stop — but the good news is that plenty of strong airlines compete for this route, which keeps fares reasonable for such a long trip. The cheapest and most popular connections run through Singapore, with the Gulf and Istanbul hubs close behind. This guide covers who flies the route, what a fair return fare looks like in euros, and when to book.
Route: Vienna (VIE) → Denpasar – Bali (DPS)
Distance: approximately 11,900 km (7,400 miles)
Non-stop flight time: none — there is no direct flight; one-stop journeys run about 16–22 hours in total
Direct flights: No — all routings connect once. On price one carrier dominates and it is not the one usually named: Scoot, via Singapore, held four in five of the cheapest fares at €571–€1,405. Qatar via Doha (€821) and Turkish via Istanbul (€836) come next, while Singapore Airlines flies the same first leg at €2,803 and up.
Fares from Vienna to Bali (EUR)
Bali is a year-round destination, but fares track both European holiday demand and Indonesia’s dry season. The July–August European summer and the Christmas/New Year peak are the most expensive weeks; the European shoulder months (spring and autumn) tend to be the cheapest. The figures below are typical economy return fares in euros — the lowest are almost always the Singapore or Gulf one-stops.
| Month | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | medium-high |
| February | — | medium |
| 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, a strong low is closer to €570 — the floor is exactly €571, so that reference point is spot on. The rest of the route is cheaper than usually described: the median is €612, so a return under about €600 is worth booking quickly and anything in the eight or nine hundreds is dear rather than typical. Almost all of the low fares are Scoot via Singapore; the premium carriers sit several times higher.
Airlines on this route
Because there is no non-stop, every option is a one-stop connection — the choice is really about which hub and which airline you prefer.
One-stop (all routings connect once):
- Singapore Airlines via Singapore — usually the best-value and most popular routing, with a smooth single connection and a well-rated economy cabin.
- Qatar Airways via Doha — frequent, strong economy and often the lowest premium-economy fares.
- Emirates via Dubai — comfortable widebodies and a generous baggage allowance on most fares.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — the most frequent connections and often competitive headline prices.
- SWISS / Lufthansa Group via Zurich, Munich or Frankfurt — convenient Star Alliance connections that pair well with Austrian’s own feeder flights.
Fares between these carriers are usually within €50–€100 of each other, so it is worth comparing total journey time and layover length as much as price.
When to book & how to save
- Book 3–5 months ahead for long-haul Bali fares; the lowest seats sell early and rarely reappear close to departure.
- Avoid the peaks: July–August and the Christmas/New Year fortnight are the priciest and busiest — travel in the European shoulder months to save.
- Target the dry season (April–October) for the best Bali weather; May, September and October combine good conditions with softer fares.
- Compare hubs: Singapore is usually cheapest, but a Doha, Dubai or Istanbul connection can undercut it on any given week — check all four.
- Watch the baggage: the lowest “light” fares may not include a checked bag, so compare the all-in price for a two-week trip, not just the headline.
Arriving in Bali
All flights land at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), just south of Denpasar and close to the main resort areas. It is about 15 minutes to Kuta and Seminyak and 30–45 minutes to Ubud or Canggu depending on traffic. Use the official airport taxi counter or a ride-hailing app rather than the touts — a metered ride to the southern beaches costs roughly €8–€15, while Ubud runs closer to €20–€30. Many hotels also offer a fixed-price pickup, which is often the easiest option after a long-haul arrival.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Vienna to Bali?
There is no non-stop flight, so plan on a one-stop journey of about 16 to 22 hours in total, including the connection. The fastest routings are usually via Singapore, Doha or Dubai with a short layover; longer waits can push the total closer to a full day, so check the connection time before you book.
Are there direct flights from Vienna to Bali?
No. No airline flies non-stop between Vienna and Denpasar — the distance is too great for a single sector from Austria. Every ticket connects once. Through Singapore there are two very different prices: Scoot from €571, which held most of the cheap fares, and Singapore Airlines from €2,803. Doha with Qatar Airways (€821) and Istanbul with Turkish Airlines (€836) sit in between.
How much does it cost to fly from Vienna to Bali?
A typical economy return runs about €577 to €821, median €612, with Scoot’s fares spanning €571–€1,405. A genuinely good fare is near €600 return, and the strong low is €571. Singapore Airlines and EVA Air run far above that, to €5,363, and the July–August and Christmas peaks sit at the top of every band.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Vienna to Bali?
The European shoulder months — roughly March–May and September–November — are usually the cheapest. In the dates we could price, returns started at €571. Avoid the summer school holidays (July–August) and the Christmas/New Year fortnight, which are the busiest and most expensive.
Which airlines fly from Vienna to Bali?
Cheapest first in our fare data: Scoot via Singapore (€571–€1,405, four in five of the cheapest fares and the outright floor), Qatar Airways via Doha (€821), Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (€836–€874), Iberia via Doha (€852), Singapore Airlines via Singapore (€2,803–€4,057) and EVA Air via Bangkok (€5,351–€5,363, the dearest). Emirates via Dubai, SWISS and the wider Lufthansa Group also connect via Dubai, Zurich, Munich or Frankfurt but did not appear among the cheapest fares when we checked. Note that Scoot and Singapore Airlines share the same route through Singapore at very different prices.
Which airport do I fly into in Bali?
All flights arrive at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), Bali’s only international airport, just south of Denpasar. It is close to the southern resort areas — about 15 minutes to Kuta and Seminyak and 30–45 minutes to Ubud or Canggu by taxi.
How far in advance should I book Vienna to Bali flights?
Aim to book 3 to 5 months ahead. Long-haul fares to Bali tend to rise as the date approaches, and the cheapest seats on the popular Singapore and Gulf connections sell out early, especially for summer and Christmas travel.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than a Friday–Sunday getaway, and flying out and back on weekdays can save €40–€100 on a return. Shifting your dates by a day or two is one of the easiest ways to trim a long-haul fare.
