Can I make a 2½ hours connection at DPS on an international flight?
2½ hours clears the 90-minute international minimum connection time at Bali International, but you should still head directly to your gate. The International and Domestic Terminals sit in the same general complex but are separate buildings connected by a covered walkway or a short shuttle bus ride depending on the current terminal configuration. Passengers connecting between international and domestic flights must exit through immigration/customs (for arrivals) or check in fresh (for departures), and full security re-screening applies at each terminal entry, unlike a typical airside transfer.

We recommend at least 1 hour for a comfortable connection at Bali International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 20 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 25 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at DPS?
Missed connections should head to the airline's transfer or ticketing counter in the terminal they land in — Garuda, Lion Air, and other Indonesian carriers have staffed counters for rebooking, but service can be slow, so allow extra time and keep contact numbers for your airline handy.
