How to fly from Canada to Bali
Bali isn’t the closest destination to Canada, but it’s worth it for the incredible tropical paradise that awaits you. Unfortunately, there aren’t any direct flights from Canada to Bali (yet), but there are actually lots of amazing places that you can have your layover - everywhere from Singapore (ranked one of the best airports in the WORLD) to Istanbul to Dubai or Doha. Thankfully, whether you’re flying from western or eastern Canada, the flight is about the same length of time (23-25 hours or so, depending on your layover) and there are multiple flights departing daily from most major international Canadian airports.
When is the best time to fly to Bali?
In terms of weather, the best time to visit Bali is between April and October, during dry season. Rainy season can still be an okay time to visit, but your plans may be hampered by the wet weather. Keep in mind that June through August are peak times to visit Bali, so for the best balance of good weather, lower prices and more manageable crowds, visit during shoulder-season: April-May or September-October.
One other thing to keep in mind—Christmas and New Year's are both popular times to visit Bali (who wouldn’t want to escape the winter weather with a trip to paradise?). The holiday season will see higher prices for travel to Bali too as a result.
When is the cheapest time to book a flight from Canada to Bali?
Prices based on searches made 90-120 days prior to departure.

Balinese culture has been shaped by Hindu influences, so be sure to dress appropriately when visiting temples or other sacred sites.
