China Eastern's returning to Gatwick with a decent-value Bali proposition. A week in Indonesia for under £600 return, luggage in tow, is respectable if you can lock in the September dates.
The deal
Return flights from London Gatwick to Bali on China Eastern, departing 21 September and returning 29 September. You get 23kg checked luggage included in the ticket price. Cost: £595.90 per person.
Why we like it
Sub-£600 long-haul to Bali is genuinely competitive. The included baggage saves you £40–60 elsewhere, and you've got eight nights on the ground — enough to get past jetlag and actually enjoy yourself. Bali's cheap once you're there, so the flight price does the heavy lifting in your budget.
The catch: you're flying via a China Eastern connection (they don't operate direct from Gatwick), so factor in a stopover. The routing will likely add 4–6 hours to your journey time versus a direct flight. That said, if you're already losing a day to transit, you might as well see what the connection point offers.
How to book
Go through Travelup, who've sourced this fare. Check the full routing details before committing — you want to know where you're stopping and for how long — then book direct with China Eastern or via the agent. Verify the 23kg luggage is still applied to your fare once you've selected your flights.
