Airport at a glance

Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 2 inbound corridors at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS / ICAO WADD), serving Denpasar (Bali), Indonesia, across 5 carriers with 2 of them based here. Time zone Asia/Makassar. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 35 departures a week.

A base changes the outcome when things break. Garuda Indonesia and Indonesia AirAsia are based at DPS, meaning aircraft, crew and operations staff sit on site. When a flight is cancelled the odds of a seat on the next rotation, or of a spare airframe, are far better at a base than at an outstation the carrier touches once a day. It is why the leg departing an airline’s own base usually recovers faster than the one returning to it.

Coordinates are for checking, not decoration. DPS sits at -8.74817, 115.167. That is genuinely useful when booking a room or a transfer, because “near the airport” is claimed to wildly different standards. In a large city, map distance and real travel time in peak hours diverge sharply — read the travel time for the hour you will actually move, not the kilometre figure.

Airlines serving DPS

5 carriers appear at DPS in our catalogue and we hold an airline row for 4 of them, with baseline baggage spanning 7 to 30 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam, Star Alliance. 2 of them are based here. Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 2 inbound corridors here.

The alliances present here shape connections. SkyTeam, Star Alliance operate at DPS, which opens through-checked bags and continuous boarding passes on a single ticket. The caveat: sharing a terminal with a partner logo does not mean your two flights are actually connected. The agreement attaches to the carrier pair and the ticket type, not to the building.

Carriers we hold no row for. Indonesia AirAsia appear at this airport in our catalogue but have no alliance or baggage record in our database, so we print a dash instead of guessing. Check those carriers’ own pages before buying — an empty cell is more honest than an unsourced number.

DPS route overview

DPS has 0 outbound corridors in our catalogue, roughly 0 departures a week All figures are estimates of the standard schedule. 2 of those corridors carry a cached fare, the lowest ฿8,892. The field runs on Asia/Makassar, ICAO WADD. The corridors touching this field connect 2 countries in our catalogue.

Inbound

This field sits in our catalogue as a destination. We record 2 inbound corridors into it, splitting 2 medium-haul (4–7h), and no outbound guides — we build route pages only for journeys starting in Thailand. Departures from here exist; they simply have no page in this set yet. Read the carrier’s own schedule for the return.

Outbound and inbound are asymmetric because this is a catalogue boundary. We record 0 outbound and 2 inbound corridors for DPS. The gap reflects which route guides we chose to build — weighted to what travellers from Thailand search — not one-way service. The return flights exist whether or not we have published a page for them yet.

Corridors & fares from DPS

The 2 corridors at DPS break down as 2 medium-haul (4–7h), serving mainly ASEAN & regional leisure. We hold a cached fare for 2 of 2 routes, the lowest ฿8,892 on BKK–DPS. Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 2 inbound corridors here.

Most DPS corridors here serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. The mix is 2 medium sectors (4–7 h). Fares are shown in Thai baht (THB), and each route guide below carries live cached prices.

Why some rows have no price. We capture lows in passes, and not every corridor returns a value each time. Seasonal routes, thin routes and routes sold through narrow channels report irregularly. An empty cell means no capture succeeded in the latest pass — not that the route is closed or expensive. We leave it blank rather than interpolate, because plausible-looking estimates are exactly what makes a table untrustworthy.

Everything is shown in baht, and that matters more than it looks. Fares are converted to THB so they compare on one page, but the underlying prices are set in the currency of the market that issues the ticket. The same corridor can price differently issued in different countries, and the exchange rate moves between our capture passes. Read these as a ranking, not as accounting figures.

The destination country sets the rules, not the departure airport. The corridors here span 1 country, each with its own aviation regulator, visa regime and transit conditions. What you are owed changes with the destination and the direction of travel, not with the airport you left from. The route guides carry the detail per corridor.

How to read this list usefully. The frequency figure describes the risk in your plan, not the quality of the route: several departures a day gives you options when something breaks, a few a week means building in a spare day. We hold a cached fare on 2 of the 2 corridors here; the rest have no successful capture yet, which does not mean they cost more.

Time zone and connecting at DPS

DPS runs on Asia/Makassar, 1h ahead of Bangkok. The gap is constant year-round. Every time printed on a boarding pass is local to that airport rather than an elapsed duration, so subtracting one from the other gives you the wrong number.

International-to-domestic is a full re-entry. At most airports that connection means clearing immigration, reclaiming the bag for customs, then checking in and passing security again — even on a single ticket. It takes materially longer than an international-to-international transfer. Plan around the actual steps rather than the gap printed on the itinerary.

Offsets make overnight flights deceptive. With DPS 1h ahead of Bangkok, a late-night departure can arrive the same morning or the next one on paper for identical flying time. That is the single most common reason transfers and first hotel nights get booked on the wrong date. Read the date on the final sector’s boarding pass, then confirm anything on the ground.

Minimum connection time is not in our data. Every airport publishes one, and the figure differs for domestic-to-domestic, international-to-international and terminal-change connections. A booking system will not sell you less than that on a single ticket — but it will happily let you build less than that yourself across two tickets. That is where passengers most often create risk without realising it.
