What are the cheapest ways to get from East Asia to Australia?
I have a return ticket that gets me from Turkey to Korea to Australia but it cannot be extended beyond the end of May.
I'm thinking of forfeiting or refunding some leg(s) of my ticket but as my savings are getting low and getting to Australia is usually not cheap I'm worried about how to ultimately get back to Australia when my funds have dwindled and I want to earn an Aussie wage again.
I know that in most of Asia and connecting Asia to the world the cheapest option is to fly Air Asia, but I also know that some important missing links in the network have been Australia, Korea, and Japan. I've also heard that both Korea and Japan have lacked low-cost carriers comparable to Ryanair and Easyjet, especially ones with international connections. I also know that there is at least the option of flying JetStar between Japan and Australia pretty cheaply.
So my questions is:
Is the Japan-Australia connection via JetStar the cheapest way to get from East Asia to Australia or are there now options with Air Asia or other carriers I don't know?
I'm happy to fly from Korea, Japan, or Somewhere in Southeast Asia that might be well connected to both, such as Bali or Bangkok.
(I appreciate that prices will vary depending on dates but as I don't have an idea of dates in advance since it depends on my money I'm looking for the generally cheapest routes and airlines that I should consider.)
Best Answer
Jetstar Bali to Perth is around 70.4 USD/52 Euro (plus hidden cost).
Since I think Denpasar Bali International Airport is one of the nearest international Airport from Australia, I believe this price is the cheapest.
Alternatively you can try AirAsia Bali to Perth, it cost around 77 USD at the same time(15 March)

Answer 2
You can fly from Singapore to Perth with Tiger Airways from 130 Euros (plus some hidden costs), I am not sure whether that is cheap compared to other options and you may also don't want to go to WA, but it is an option.
Answer 3
Air Asia flies from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast, and is usually the cheapest way to fly into Oz by a long shot. They also connect KL to Japan and Korea. (Usual LCC disclaimers apply: book well in advance and be prepared to fly at awkward times.)
Jetstar also flies from Singapore to Darwin and Melbourne.
