Off-peak roundtrip economy fares ay PHP 12,000-22,000; Pasko at Lebaran peak hit PHP 28,000-42,000. Visa-free 30 days for tourists.

Just need valid passport (6+ months), return ticket, accommodation proof, at sufficient funds. No application required. e-Visa on Arrival (eVOA) available for stays beyond 30 days, valid 30 days extendable once (~IDR 500,000 / PHP 1,800).

Routes from PH airports

Best time to fly

Cheapest pockets are late January through March at September to mid-November (Indonesian dry season ending). Avoid Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr Indonesia) windows — major travel period sa Indonesia, fares spike 50-80%. Pasko balikbayan rush (Dec 15-Jan 5) at Bali high season (July-August Australian winter, peak tourism) bring uplift. Nyepi (Bali Day of Silence, March) closes the island for one day — flights also restricted, plan around it. Holy Week sees moderate uplift mainly from Filipino vacationers. School breaks (April-May, October) align sa Filipino vacation. Indonesia’s monsoon (November-March west, dry season May-September) affects travel comfort more than schedules. Book 6-10 weeks ahead for off-peak; 12+ for Pasko or Bali high season.
