Bali Flights

Bali is a small tropical island and is one over twenty thousand islands that make up Indonesia. Getting there by plane is fairly easy from any country. Before you decide to book your flights or Bali Hotels, you need to find out what the status is with regards Bali visa requirements for your specific country. If you are coming from an Indonesian country then you don’t need a visa but may need to pay airport tax as you enter the country, whatever your visa is or the type of ticket you bought you will have to pay an entry and exit tax. Even if your ticket specifies that airport tax has been paid, you will still have to pay at the airport before boarding your flight and when you land, so keep some local Indonesian Rupiahs handy.

Most western nationals don’t need to apply for a visa either, but will have to pay up to $30 for a visa when they arrive. The process is fairly quick and there are plenty of manned stations to make it go as fast as possible. For other countries a visa will have to be obtained before flying. Wherever you are coming from it is advisable to find out the latest up to date information from the local Balinese embassy.

Ngurah Rai International Airport

When flying into Bali you will arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport. Sometimes you will find websites that talk about two airports, Ngurah Rai International Airport and Denpasar International, but they are one and the same. Ngurah Rai International Airport is situated in the southernmost part of Bali on the west coast not far from the majority of the tourist areas. There are plans to build a new airport near the tip of the west coast at Jembrana with 2012 being the proposed completion date. This is meant to replace Ngurah Rai as the international airport and is going to be a very modern, well designed airport. The official name so far is Jembrana City International Airport but most people are referring to it as the New Bali International Airport.

Ngurah Rai International Airport is the main gateway to the rest of Indonesia and many international destinations. There are over 20 major airlines that fly in and out of Ngurah Rai International Airport. The biggest carriers of international passengers are; Garuda Indonesia Airline, Jetstar Airline, Virgin Blue Airline, Singapore Airline, Thai Air Asia Airline and Air Asia Airline. The other airlines will service mostly domestic and short haul Bali flights to neighboring Indonesian countries.

There are always numerous daily flights from Singapore and a few other Indonesian countries with the longer international hauls flying a few times a week. Flight times and schedules always change so just check with your travel agent when flights go to Bali from your country. The cheaper long haul flights will most probably have one if not two stop over’s before landing in Bali and even some of the first class tickets will involve a stopover depending where you are traveling from.
