I tried to call Lion Air at DPS airport, but no-one was there "until 2, 5 hours before the next flight".
So I finally had to go to a travel agent, who not only issued my ticket, accepting my credit card for payment, for about 5% less than the on-line fare.
How's that for Lion Air assholes customer service

I did this a year or so ago, but don't remember the exact procedure.
However as 2041 says, it's probably not an issue as there are so many Jakarta. DPS Lion flights. I have to agree too, that Air Asia is a pretty classy act and not inferior in any way to Lion, and in many cases it's better.

If Mandala don't come back, I'll miss them.

Personally, I've flown both Air Asia and Lion on flights within Indonesia in and out of Jakarta. I found Air Asia to be better run, but both are adequate. I could buy my tickets in advance on the Air Asia website using my American-issued Credit card, but I had to buy my Lion Air tickets with cash at the Lion ticket booth in the terminal at CGK.

Air Asia has four flights a day as does Batavia. The more in advance you book and pay the cheaper the ticket, generally. Fridays are often at a premium as Jakarta people go to Bali for the weekend.
Lion has good record for safety and comfort. 10 flights a day. Book on line.
Garuda is full service airline and generally more expensive but frequently runs promos in order to stay competitive.

Posts: 2533Cebu pacific is running a sale right now, I looked at tickets an hour ago for May, and it is 200$ R / T. NO CHECKED LUGGAGE.
Thing is, they land in Jakarta close to midnight, so you would need to hang around the airport until morning for the first flight to Bali, which should run you 75-100$ each way.
PAL is going to start non stop service between MNL and DPS fairly soon.

One other thing to research is that you can fly Air Asia from Clark to Kuala Lumpur and then from KL to Bali. But you would need to overnight in KL each way to do it. But you could probably do the whole round trip for 300-400 US.
Air Asia is a reliable and very inexpensive airline that services Bali from several major Asian hubs, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Jakarta so if you can get to any of those hubs cheaply out of Manila, they will be able to get you to Bali for for probably under $100 USD each way from any of those hubs. As I pointed out, you could also fly Air Asia from Clark to KL, and then KL to Bali, but it would require an overnight each way to do it reliably.
In my experience, one can pretty safely carry high end photography gear in Bali. But getting it to Bali safely might be another story entirely.

Posts: 51Manila to Bali
Guys,
According to expedia and travelocity, I will have to pay a king's ransom to get to Bali from Manila this May.
Could someone advise me on the most intelligent and economical way of traveling between Manila and Bali?
Also, I'm a photography buff, so I plan to bring along some gear. Can a foreigner carry a professional camera around Bali without that nagging fear, as in Manila?
Thanks in advance.
Gumby.
