Arriving & Departing The Airport
Security protocols including passenger and baggage screening are similar to other large international airports in the region. Limitations similar to those in the EU and US are placed upon the carrying of fluids and other so- called security items in hand luggage. International passengers should be prepared for scrutiny of their baggage, including all carry-on items. When departing, you will likely pass through a total of three security checkpoints, and possibly a further one at the boarding gate, so be patient, particularly when things are busy. The staff do not generally require the removal of belts, laptops and jackets like other large airports – signage may indicate this, but they are not always enforced. Belts that set off the metal detector will need to be sent through, however.
Security protocols at the domestic terminal are similar to those applied at other Indonesian domestic hub airports, with baggage and carry-on screening, x-ray, metal detection, hand inspections and other security measures in place for departing passengers.
Porters now usually will not take control of your luggage unless they either ask you or request their assistance (depending on which one comes first). If you do utilize them; tipping is based on size of your baggage and the time spent helping you get through customs. In most cases, your baggage will be off of the conveyor belt and lined up on the side by the time you make your way to the baggage claim area.
When departing from Bali, you are subject to the airport departure tax which should be included in the ticket price. If your ticket was purchased before Feb 9th 2015 then your airline may advise you to pay online or via the PSC payment counters that are still available at the airport. The fee for international flight is Rp. 200.000.
Departing Bali to overseas destinations has also largely improved after some high profile cases regarding corrupt officials. Be aware of items that require declaration and make sure they are appropriately reported. Baggage does ‘not’ need to be wrapped to be checked in – the wrapping stalls are more of an optional measure.
