Cheap flights to Denpasar Bali Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS)

Denpasar Bali Ngurah Rai Airport information

Bali's airport Ngurah Rai is located 13 km south of Denpasar and only 2.5 km from Kuta. It is named after I Gusti Ngurah Rai, an Indonesian National Hero who died in a puputan (fight to the death) against the Dutch at Marga during the Indonesian Revolution in 1946. The airport has undergone some major renovations lately significantly improving the congestion and facilities.

Transport to and from Denpasar Bali to the airport Ngurah Rai

Some hotels organize free transfers from the airport, but there are plenty of other options available.

Taxies: go to the ticketing booth, on the right side just after the exit, buy a fixed-fare ticket and a driver will be assigned to you. When you are on a budget, you can flag down a taxi from outside the airport. If you are a girl, or traveling alone do take a Blue Bird Taxis as they are safe and reliable.

Alternatively, you can walk outside the airport to the main street where you can flag down a bemo (local minivan). Most of the bemos in this area will be heading to Kuta and be prepared for a hot, crowded journey. Especially at night, transport options are limited, but the distance to Kuta is just a few kilometers so you could even walk it. Be sure to have a map though because you need to make a few turns but the road is busy and well lit.
