You have to be flexible and be willing to look at something a different way. When we were booking our way from Barcelona to Marrakesh, we went through days of options until we finally hit on something that fit our budgets and schedules. It took a while, but we were happy with the end result. @Living the Dream

Looking at flights on kayak straight from Bali to Delhi it would be very expensive. Bali to Mumbai would be hundreds of dollars cheaper. Bali to Kuala Lumpur, overnight, then Kuala Lumpur to Mumbai would be even cheaper still. <br/><br/>The ironic thing? The flight from Bali to Mumbai has a layover in Kuala Lumpur. But booking each leg separately is significantly cheaper even with paying for 1 night in KL.<br/><br/>If I were set on going to Delhi immediately, I would be paying at least $400 more.
