Curious what airlines going from Edmonton to Bali to choose. I just looked at flights on Google and have never heard of some of them besides air canada, westjet and delta. Would love to hear from anyone who has done this trip. I would much rather fly with large, well-known carriers. I travel to Europe a lot. Some airlines fly through storms and others find ways to go around them.. Thanks so much for any tips you may have!

We flew via Singapore on Singapore Airlines.

Suja Thank you! I heard good things about them.

Go to cheapoair.com and they have a ton of options…

EVA Air (through Taiwan), Korean Air, and singapore airlines are probably the 3 you're most likely to run across. All 3 would be considered good airlines (better than North american airlines if that means anything), with singapore airlines a step above the other 2.
In 2019 you would have also found more airlines that connect to SE Asia through Japan (all good airlines) and China (not very good airlines). East Asia has been lagging behind the rest of the world with their travel recovery which affects the number of flights and airline choices to SE Asia. Japan should be well on their way now that they're opening back up.

Chris Thanks so much! Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I’m not seeing singapore airlines for the dates selected and wasn’t sure about Korean Air. Super helpful, thank you!

Sabine Korea Air is great! I loved the complimentary slippers & amenity kit (even in economy) . Also had great experiences with EVA all pre-pandemic experience. Singapore airline is one of the world's best airlines, would choose them if you have the opportunity to fly with them.

L thank you!!

Sabine I'm flying to Bali next month and my connection is through Tokyo with JAL and then domestic from Jakarta through Garuda Indonesia.

L , I just did a trip Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Vientiane (Laos) on Singapore Air. The service was amazing, even in Economy. I would recommend them if they are one of your options.

Wanda amazing, thank you!

Sabine we just booked a cheapo trip to Singapore, with United and ANa. One stop in the US and one in Tokyo, for $750 return , but it takes longer of course .
From Singapore we’re hoping to take budget airlines to get around Malaysia, but you can also get cheapo flights to Indonesia

We flew to Bali on EVA. It is out of Taiwan, so we had a connection in Taipei. We booked it from Vancouver to Denpasar and used points to get from Edmonton to Vancouver. We had an excellent experience. Comfortable seats. Decent spacing. Good food. Attentive staff. We would definitely fly them again. And Bali…..incredible place.

Ron amazing, thank you for sharing!

I flew with AC to Hong Kong and then cathay pacific to Denpasar, Bali. Done that route a couple times no concerns or issues.

Michael Chittick thank you.

I have flown cathay pacific who were fantastic. And China airlines

We went in 2019 and the travel lady had us on Hong Kong airlines. No issues!

delta was good when I went from Edm, no issues

I took Eva Air a few years ago and had no issues.

I would stay away from China Airlines (or as I call them China Airlies). I flew on Korean Airlines as well and they are VERY good. In fact, they just won their 18th consecutive year for the title of the best in global customer satisfaction. In 2021 they also won the prestigious title from Air transport World's for top airline.

Eicart thanks for posting this! We have a flight booked with them to Thailand this year

Take EVA Airlines from Van to Taipan to Bali. Amazing flight and no issues.

May I jump in with a Bali question. My hubby and I have a large credit on delta to use before Dec 2023. Someone just mentioned flying delta from YEG. I have been struggling to think of where we could use the credits (including delta code shares) Would anytime between Feb and end of April work weather wise for Bali?

Susan Google says May to Aug/Sept is best. I put Edmonton to delta into Google as well and searched for flights in Feb and there are none. I don’t know about code shares. Google is amazing for finding flights though. You can tell it exactly which airlines you would like to fly with and it gives you the best prices, I have found.

Susan feb is still raining season. May, June, Sept are the best. Try to avoid july&august as local students are off from school. Bali will be over crowded

air canada to Tokyo, Thai Airways to Bangkok, Thai Airways to Denpasar. (If you want to go using Star Alliance)

Debbie thank you!

Likely you will fly to Vancouver and change over to China air. Then change planes again in Taiwan or Singapore.
We love Bali!
We booked our flights through flight hub. $1000 round trip, no issues.

I traveled to Bali mid November in 2015. It’s considered the shoulder season; but man alive it was
. We had beautiful accommodations in North Bali Poinciana Seaside Resort….3 1/2 north of Denpasar airport!
Regarding the flight from Edmonton to Taipei it was China Air. That was a very difficult flight. The seats are small; I am 5’8” and was really uncomfortable.
I don’t recall the airline from Taipei to Denpasar Bali: it was very comfortable. We have a trip booked to Thailand and will be flying Eva Air. I hear great things about flying with them
