Travel: Flights to Denpasar

Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS) is Bali's only airport and the second-busiest in all Indonesia, serving not only domestic destinations but major cities throughout Asia and Australia as well. It's a fairly modern and clean if not exactly exciting place, equipped with most facilities a traveller would need. There are two separate terminals for international and domestic flights, but they're within walking distance of each other. Beware of the porters, who will grab your bags off the belt, accompany you to the money changer and expect to get paid for the "service".

Despite the name, Denpasar airport is actually located south of Kuta, some 20 kilometers away. The most hassle-free way to get from the airport to your destination anywhere on Bali is to either arrange a pick-up or use the prepaid Airport Taxi Service. If you take a normal taxi outside, check the posted fares for an estimate and insist on the meter. Buses to Tegal bus station in central Denpasar take about 50 minutes.
