The term best airlines is not for everyone the same. Speaking about quality and ranking on official websites I would say: Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways.

 

  • When should I book my intercontinal flight to Indonesia?

It depends on when you want to spend your holiday in Indonesia.
-for the months July and August the best time is to book between September and November the year before; this is from Europe. I guess from other continents it will be about the same.

-for flights between 10 December and 15 January the best period is around May/June

-for flights after 15 January, February, March, April, May and June the best time to book is 3 months before

-for flights in September, October, November and up untill 10 December the best time to book is 3 months before

  • Which airline or airport should I choose for Flores when coming from abroad?

This depends very much on your plans before or after Flores. Coming from abroad and when you go to Flores only or combine Flores with Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Sumba or Timor the best airport is Denpasar.

Good direct connections with domestic airports are Kupang (Timor), Tambolaka and Waingapu (Sumba), Praya (Lombok) and Makassar (Sulawesi)

 

  • When should I book domestic flights?

In the months July, August, the Idul Fitri period (in April  2023) and between 15 December and 15 January you best book 4 months ahead.

Outside these periods 2 months in advance should be fine.
