Start at Denpasar, not Jakarta
Bali's international airport uses the code DPS. Travellers who finish their Indonesia trip in Bali should normally build the onward route from DPS rather than creating an itinerary that requires an unexplained return to Jakarta.
The destination should match the next stage of travel. Singapore and Kuala Lumpur offer broad regional connections, while Bangkok can suit a route continuing through mainland Southeast Asia.
Bali to Singapore
Singapore is a natural onward point for travellers who want a major international hub after Bali. The route is direct and keeps the itinerary easy to read: DPS to SIN on one international sector.
It also works well when the following long-haul ticket begins at Changi. Leave enough time between separate bookings if baggage collection and a new check-in will be required.
Bali to Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is another common regional connection. A DPS-KUL itinerary can support a trip continuing through Malaysia or connecting elsewhere in Asia.
Check whether the next journey uses Kuala Lumpur International Airport and allow time for the terminal and airline involved.
Bangkok, Australia and other options
Bangkok suits travellers moving toward Thailand, Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. Australia-bound travellers may prefer Perth because it is geographically closer than Australia's east-coast gateways.
Use the flight that fits the trip rather than selecting a destination only because it looks inexpensive. The route and onward date should remain plausible together.
