Ngurah Rai International Airport

Understand

Ngurah Rai is the second busiest airport in Indonesia, after Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, catering to tourists who wish to explore the island. The airport is separated into two terminal buildings, each for international and domestic. The domestic terminal occupies the former international terminal building while the international terminal sits on what used to be the domestic terminal building but widely expanded to include high roofs and high end facilities. Once a year, the airport is closed from 06:00 on the day of silence (Nyepi) to 06:00 on the following day, as the whole island goes completely quiet. Volcanic eruptions on Bali and neighboring Java and Lombok can also cause intermittent disruptions, the longest of which lasted for a week in late November 2018 due to the eruption of Bali's highest mountain, Mount Agung.

Getting around

Both terminals are compact and require a few minutes walking from departure to the gate. The longest walk in the international terminal should take around 15 minutes from passport check to Gate 9. Transfer between the domestic and international terminal can only be done at landside and involves walking along a corridor at the arrival level.
