Bali International
Airport called Ngurah Rai, or simply Denpasar, is located thirteen kilometers south of Denpasar - the official capital of the island, between the small resort towns of Jimbaran and Kuta. This is the main transport hub, quite modern and well equipped. Today, Bali Airport has all the necessary amenities of an international class air port. Inside its domestic and international terminals there are racks of various airlines and large hotels, as well as left-luggage offices and bank exchangers with ATMs.
Key features of the airport
Currently, Bali Ngurah Rai Airport daily serves large flows of passengers and is only slightly inferior in terms of congestion to the main airport of the country, Soekarno Hatta, located in the millionaire city of Tangerang. According to estimates, this air pier receives about five million passengers every year, while experts believe that in five years this number will reach twenty million.
Historical reference
The international air pier Ngurah Rai received its name in honor of one of the most famous and respected Balinese heroes. This military leader for many years fought for the independence of the country during the conquest of the latter by the Dutch colonialists. The airport terminal was built on the island in 1931 and almost immediately received its current name.
Bali Airport: how to get
As mentioned earlier, the international airport in Bali is located thirty kilometers from the capital Denpasar, about thirty to thirty-five minutes. You can get to the terminals both by numerous private minibuses and city buses, and by taxi. In the latter case, you can use the services of private drivers or order a car to the airport in the official service. It should be borne in mind that the upcoming trip will need to be paid in advance. On average, the cost of a taxi to the airport will be about eighty-one hundred and twenty thousand rupees, which is about eight to ten American dollars. The fare on the city bus will cost the tourist much cheaper. The price of the trip is usually fixed at ten thousand rupees. Among other things, do not forget that most of the hotels located on the island, offer their guests a service such as transfer. Helpful managers will clearly control the time of arrival of the car and make sure that tourists are not late for the start of registration.
Bali Airport Plan
The airport in Bali (Indonesia), whose name comes from the name of a national hero, consists of two terminals - domestic and international. The first is a rather old and very small building in area. Many passengers arriving in Bali note the rather poor quality of service provided in the domestic terminal. As for the international airport complex, it is located in a new three-story building and has an L-shape. This terminal has a very developed infrastructure and demonstrates excellent service. On the territory of this airport complex, tourists are offered their services by several restaurants and fast-food cafes, as well as duty-free shops, souvenir stalls, prayer rooms, a variety of massage parlors, shower rooms and relaxation areas equipped with children's playgrounds. In addition, Bali Airport gives its passengers the opportunity to visit a small cinema hall and thus pass the time waiting for the flight.
Major international airlines
To date, about fifty different air carriers organize flights from this air port. For example, China Airlines, Air New Zeland, Korean Air and AirAsia fly to
Bali. The airport also accepts flights from airlines such as Citilink,
Qatar Airways, KLM, Virgin Australia and Thai Airways. Flights from Russia are currently offered by Nordwind Airlines, Aeroflot, Vladivostok Air and Transaero. They fly to Denpasar-Novosibirsk, Denpasar-Moscow, Denpasar-Yekaterinburg and Denpasar-Khabarovsk. As for the duration of flights to Russia, for example, a flight to the capital of the Russian Federation can take from fifteen to eighteen hours with one change. Direct flights from Moscow airports to Denpasar International Airport are sold, as a rule, only complete with ready-made travel packages. Travel time in this case is significantly reduced and is about eleven to twelve hours. It should be noted that the average cost of one ticket is one thousand two hundred - one thousand five hundred American dollars.
