Bali Airport Makes Changes To Speed Up Arrivals Process

Following the launch of the A380 Dubai-Bali route passengers arriving in the province can expect an even more efficient arrivals process.

Well after my last International arrival at DPS in October 2022 on an Emirates 777 when it took almost FOUR hours to get out of the airport I decided that I would fly via Singapore next time.

Wow

My two recent entries were ever so much faster than that. The one in May was really quick!

I all depends on the timing though Chilly. My previous trip in April last year was a domestic one from Manado and it was so nice not to queue up after picking up my bags.

My first trip in this year was January and that was domestic out of Jakarta.

The trip in May was flying in from Singapore. It was so smooth, so sweet. I can only hope it will always be like that from now on.

For some reason the Bali airport is so much more efficient after Bali reopened. They’ve also managed to push the annoying taxi mafia further away from the main exit after so many years.

We flew from Goungzhou and arrived early in the morning. Airport was deserted. Took longer to walk through the airport than to collect our bags and clear immigrations and customs.

In November we landed about lunchtime - very quick through the VISA/COVID etc. then a delay for baggage.

Bloody irrelevant as it was the second day of the G20 and all the roads were closed - 5 1/2 hours to Amed (asleep most of the time TBH!)

It does seem to depend when you land/number of flights.

Yup double confirm that immigration at entry is much better....was in Bali early June and we walked right up the VOA counter and then right up to the immigration counter. No waiting at all.
We were near the front of the plane...which always helps...but there were lots of counters open.

Leaving the immigration certainly took longer...but still nothing crazy...probably 25-35min.
What was crazy was the traffic!!! WOW!!! It took 90min to do the 18km from Canggu to the airport!! Average speed of 12km/hr!!!!

Canggu has completely lost its mind.
