April and May sees very little rain while also seeing pleasant temperatures, making it a great time to book flights to Bali for a cheaper price. Christmas is also a hard time to find cheap flights to Bali so book in advance for the best savings on your flight tickets.
Off Season:

You'll find cheap flights to Bali during the monsoon season, meaning you can grab a bargain on your flight tickets whilst still enjoying warm weather. There are climatic differences with Bukit Peninsula receiving far less rain that the interior and mountain areas even during the monsoon.

How to get from Bali Airport to the city centre?
Ngurah Rai International Airport is between Tuban and Jimbaran, 30 minutes from Denpasar, the administrative and transport hub of the Island. Taxis are plentiful. There is a booth in the arrivals terminal where visitors can buy a fixed-fare ticket and be allocated a driver. If the booth is closed then travellers can organize their own taxi but be prepared to haggle and know the price before starting out. Some hotels do provide a shuttle directly to and from the airport so check with them beforehand as it will make your transition easier after your flights to Bali. There are also buses and minivans, although they are crowded they do offer a cheap alternative for budget travellers.
