Bali & Jakarta: €488 China Southern Flights from Paris (Incl. Checked Luggage, Long Layovers)

China Southern Airlines is offering a deal from Paris to Bali and Jakarta starting at just €488. This deal includes 23kg checked luggage. Departures are available between March and May for Bali and in April and May for Jakarta.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to China Southern or Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €30 cheaper:

First, you will fly from Paris to Guangzhou on a China Southern Airbus A350. Economy class features a 3-3-3 configuration with 81 cm of legroom, personal entertainment, and power outlets. In Guangzhou, you will have at least one long daytime layover to secure the best price. You can use this time to explore the city or relax at a hotel. Afterward, you will continue your journey to Indonesia on a China Southern Airbus A320 family aircraft, which has a 3-3 configuration in economy class. The flight takes more than four hours.

Search & Book

This deal doesn’t have an expiration date, but a minimum stay of six days or a Saturday overnight stay applies, along with a maximum stay of three months. Departures are available between March and May for Bali and in April and May for Jakarta.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on China Southern’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Miles & Points

This ticket is issued in booking class T. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal to Indonesia:

Information & Tips for Indonesia

Indonesia offers diverse attractions, from the temples of Bali and Yogyakarta to the beaches of Lombok and the cultural hub of Jakarta. The local currency is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR), and cash is widely used, although credit cards are accepted in larger establishments. Prices are generally affordable, though tourist hotspots like Bali can be more expensive. The weather is tropical, with a rainy season from November to March and dry, sunny conditions from April to October, making the latter a popular time to visit.

Indonesia’s transport infrastructure varies by region. In major cities like Jakarta and Bali, traffic can be heavy, and public transport options are limited, although ride-hailing apps like Gojek and Grab are widely used. Within cities, buses, taxis, and motorcycles are common, but they can be slow due to congestion. For intercity travel, domestic flights are the most efficient way to cover long distances, while trains and buses are available but slower and less comfortable. Travel can be more challenging in rural areas, where transportation options may be limited.
