The international airport in Bali is often referred to as Denpasar (DPS is the airport code). Ngurah Rai airport is actually located in Tuban which is two miles south of Kuta beach and eight miles SW of Denpasar.

It’s actually possible to walk from the beach to the airport and board a plane although I’d prefer to spend the extra hour in the water.
Arriving at Denpasar on an international flight you’ll get channeled through into a long hallway to the sound of gamelan music. Processing can take a while but when you reach the counter there isn’t much hassle as most of the people coming through are package tourists and travelers. Another 10 yards and you’re out into the street and the humid air hits you. There will be no shortage of taxis waiting to drive you to Kuta or wherever you want to go and these are usually affordable though it’s best to ask inside the airport what the going rate is.

Maybe you flew into DSP, but I would wager that most people fly into DPS.

Hi Nick,
I’m a BNA member and forum regular and read your Baliblog everyday–I love it–great for daydreaming (you are one lucky bastard to land a gig like that man).
I just posted this question in the forums, but thought after to ask you directly. Is there a direct flight from Bali to Beijing that you know of? One with a layover?
I’ve been all over the web and just can’t find the info I’m looking for. We recently changed our plans for our RTW and will be hitting up Bali for a few weeks at the end of next May and hope to stop in for a beer with you.
Thanks for any help
Casey
Hi again Nick,
Was also wondering if you knew of a travel agent in Bali who would be able to help us with onward tickets and visas for China.
Thanks,
Casey
I have a plan to go to Denpasar next year on april, Please give me information for a good deal from Los angeles (LAX) to Denpasar (DPS), Thank’s, Martha
Martha, check out http://airfare.BootsnAll.com. You should be able to find a decent deal there.
Again, a popular question… Does the Ngurah Rai Airport have locker/storage facilities? If so, would a 20-day period be too long? And what would be the approximate cost?
hey there
is it possible to fly to dps direct from the UK? if so which airline?

Thanks,

Hi I am travelling to Bali in August. Last time I went was in 93 so its been awhile. What are the must see places I should put top of my list bearing in mind Im only there for a week.
Carolyn,
If your last visit to Bali was in ’93, you will remember that Kuta was the center of the tourist scene, Legian was the up and coming place, with Ubud, Lovina and Padangbai the other favourites.
During the last 14 years there has been a tremendous amount of development in Bali, with areas such as Seminyak, Canggu, the Bukit, Jimbaran and Amed coming onto the scene.
Lovina has moved on from being a backpacker’s scene to a family holiday place for Europeans. Padangbai is dead as door nail and the whole tourist scene is heading away from the bamboo guest house and reggae band, to the luxury villa and lounge bar scene.
I think Seminyak is a cool place to start out. Ubud is still cool with many cheap homestays downtown as well as nicer places. Amed on the far SE coast is super chill, and you will find independent guest houses and hotels all over, including the Bukit peninsula (Bingin, Balangan etc.), and around the coast.
I am going to be in Bali for about 3 weeks at the end of the summer. I will be traveling with a whole load of stuff. Where would be the best place for me to store it, at the airport? If so, do you know how much it would cost? I would rather not have to drag it around with me! Thanks for taking the time!
I was wondering about getting a visa upon my arrivel to Denpasar Airport. Could someone please answer my question if I can get it at the airport? And can it be for longer then 30 days? Thank you
Tina, visa on arrival is easy and relatively quick. Make sure you get off the plane asap and run to immigration otherwise you are queing for a long time. Visa cost us$25 and if you pay in us$ (instead of the local rp equivalent)its a lot less hassle.
please give me information to fly from thayland to polinesia (bora-bora and others….)
thank you in advance
