Depending on where you are flying from? We have never used an agent. ALways online. This time found cheap flight from Oregon to Singapore on United then on into Bali on Singapore Air which was very cheap. We always stay at the same place so just email them we are coming and get a good rate including breakfasts and all taxes, massages and drinks. Lots of airline do online specials for only a day or two so make a point to check the major ones daily.
There aren't alot of tourists in Bali now, seemed quieter than our previous visits. But everyone is still willing to barter and we felt safe everywhere we went.
Good luck
If you need a driver let me know.
