Los Angeles → Bali flights

Target $459 or less — Bali fares from LAX stay in a tight band

Key takeaways

• The median fare is $459, with the interquartile range running from $400 to $464 — a remarkably compressed spread.
• The lowest recorded fare was $397, just 13% below the high of $482, confirming this is not a high-volatility route.
• A 21% spread across 30 days indicates some price movement, but fares cluster tightly enough that timing alone won't unlock dramatic savings.
• Bottom-quartile fares (≤$400) are achievable but represent the low end of a narrow window — don't expect to find fares significantly below $397.
• With no dominant carrier visible in the data, checking multiple connecting itineraries (typically via Tokyo, Seoul, or Taipei) is your best lever for finding the lower end of the range.

The full picture

The LAX–Bali corridor shows a fare profile that's more stable than dramatic. Across 30 daily snapshots, the cheapest available fares ranged from $397 to $482 — a $85 span that translates to a 21% spread. That figure sits just above the threshold we'd call "low volatility," meaning prices do move, but not enough to reward obsessive monitoring. The median of $459 and the 75th percentile of $464 are practically adjacent, which tells you that most days the market is pricing this route consistently. If you see something at or below $420, that's a genuinely good fare worth acting on.

On a route of this distance — roughly 17–19 hours including a connection — fares tend to soften modestly when booked 6 to 10 weeks out from departure, before airlines move into close-in yield management mode. That said, the tight range here suggests the market is already fairly efficient, and last-minute deals are unlikely given the long haul and limited nonstop options. The p25 of $400 suggests that roughly one in four days of searching returned a fare at or below that level, so patience across a few weeks of monitoring can realistically land you near the low end.

Because no single dominant carrier stands out in this data, the practical implication is that LAX–DPS is served through various connecting hubs — and the "cheap" days in the dataset likely reflect specific connecting-flight combinations rather than a systemic airline pricing pattern. Your best approach is to search flexibly across departure dates and hub combinations rather than fixating on a specific day of the week. One honest caveat: 30 snapshots reflect a single rolling window in time; seasonal demand spikes around Bali's high season (July–August and December) can push fares well outside this observed range.
