Philly | Philly to Bali, which airline is best?
Hi all 
I'm planning a trip to Bali in a few months. Last time I took Malaysian Air. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if AirAsia flies directly from the States to this part of the world, maybe not yet. Even the long haul flights planned for Europe, Australia and China are not planned to start till later this year.
Maybe it would be cheaper if you took Malaysia Airlines to Malaysia first as there should be discounts for the 2007 visit Malaysia campaign. Flying from Malaysia to Bali after that via AirAsia would be extremely cheap 
Cheers!!!

Best.. as in cheapest or best service?
For best service, in my opinion, take Singapore Air to Jakarta/CGK, then any domestic flight to Denpasar. Air Asia is bookable online, though I had a bad experience with booking (they overbooked then claimed that it was my card that was rejected even though the charge came up in my statement. Tired of arguing, I bought four tickets from Sriwijaya Air next door for only $5 more, and got Citi to reverse the Air Asia charge. I wrote to Jakarta Post and Air Asia offered me replacement tickets, which I didn't take). Buying tickets in the airport is really easy. Or, SIA may have connections to DPS as well. Singapore Air fares from consolidators are comparable to MAS fares, if you don't mind calling around. |

Just take MAS, it's easier, cheaper and a proven way of getting there.
Newark - KUL - Bali. The fare is under 1100 roundtrip.

Alexandria, VA | $1100 to Bali on MAS is expensive, considering that we flew Singapore for $930 from DCA. You should be able to get a better deal on MAS. |

On MAS, NY to KUL or Changi, the base price is $699, and unless you're willing to overnight in either airport, the connecting flight is where they make the killing.

That's $930 DCA to DPS, on Singapore Air, not to Singapore. |
