Fly to Bali via Kuala Lumpur:
Do not forget that for a trip to Indonesia, according to the entry rules, you need a PCR test no older than 48 hours from the date of delivery to the time of boarding the plane. In Malaysia, if you go out into the city, you will have to do a new test. Don’t overlook this. It is best to take one single ticket to Bali with transit (without entering the city).
Before flying to or through Malaysia, you must install and complete the MySejahtera app:
- Application form for flying to Malaysia: download a vaccination certificate, you can buy insurance (everything is convenient and inexpensive) https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/application
- MySejahtera app https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/mysejahtera will be your passport
To enter Malaysia:
- A negative PCR test result is required, taken no more than 48 hours before departure to Malaysia. This does not apply to recently recovered patients and children under six years of age.
- Within 24 hours after entering the country, you must independently pass the antigen test at the laboratory closest to your place of residence.
If you stay in Kuala Lumpur:
An antigen test is enough, which costs 150 MYR ~ 35 USD at the airport. In the city, at the Poliklinik MUC https://goo.gl/maps/Tq34o4LyaekSCYFr5, testing is done within 10 minutes for 35 MYR.
If flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bali:
When choosing a ticket with access to the city, in Kuala Lumpur you will have to re-register your luggage. In this case, you will need to do a fresh PCR test if 48 hours have passed since the first test you flew earlier.
How else can you fly directly to Bali?
So far, only domestic flights and international flights from Istanbul (Turkey), Doha (Qatar), Narita (Japan), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Melbourne and Sydney (Australia) arrive at Denpasar Airport (Bali). You can fly from Europe to Bali with a single ticket with Qatar Airways via Doha and Turkish Airlines via Istanbul.
For this reason, many choose the route through Jakarta, where you can sleep for one night after a long flight, and in the morning make the rest of the way to Bali. It’s often cheaper too.
