Denpasar Bali is ideal if you're heading directly to resorts, while Surabaya offers good access for eastern Java travel. Note that no direct flights from the U.S. reach Balikpapan; you would first fly to a U.S. gateway like Los Angeles or San Francisco, then connect via a major Asian hub such as Singapore or Tokyo to reach Balikpapan before continuing within Indonesia."
