For residents and travelers in Singapore, **Bali** is the ultimate quick weekend escape—located just 2 hours and 40 minutes away by air from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to Denpasar Ngurah Rai (DPS). With dozens of daily non-stop flights operated by budget and full-service carriers, choosing the right airline depends on whether you value low fares, flexible carry-on baggage, or on-time reliability.

## Budget airline comparison: Scoot vs. AirAsia vs. Batik Air

**Scoot (Singapore Airlines Group):** Operates modern Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A321neos. Offers generous 10kg carry-on allowances across two pieces, departs reliably from Changi Terminal 1, and runs frequent weekend sale fares starting around $140–$190 SGD return.

**AirAsia:** Frequently posts the lowest baseline fares ($120–$160 SGD return), but strictly enforces a 7kg total cabin bag weight limit and charges higher fees for checked baggage and seat selection.

**Batik Air (Lion Group):** Often includes 20kg of checked baggage in standard economy tickets, making it a competitive choice for travelers carrying surfboards or dive equipment.

## Arriving at Bali Airport: Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VoA) and Customs

To avoid 45-minute immigration lines at Denpasar Airport:

1. Complete the official Indonesian **e-VoA (Electronic Visa on Arrival)** online at least 48 hours before departure (500,000 IDR / ~$45 SGD).

2. Fill out the free, mandatory **All Indonesia** arrival declaration (allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or the app) within 3 days before landing. It replaced the old e-CD customs form and health pass, and emails you a QR code to show on arrival. See our [All Indonesia Arrival Card guide](https://clevertourists.com/resources/all-indonesia-arrival-card-how-to-fill-out-guide).

3. Pay the mandatory **Bali Tourist Levy** (150,000 IDR / ~$13 SGD) online at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before boarding; airport counters take cashless payment only, and the emailed QR voucher is quicker.

## Airport exit and navigating Denpasar arrival taxis

Exiting Bali Airport leads into a congested corridor of freelance taxi touts quoting inflated fares (300,000–500,000 IDR into Kuta or Seminyak).

Instead, walk up to the official **Grab Lounge** on Level 3 of the international terminal parking structure, or pre-book a private air-conditioned arrival transfer with flat pricing via Klook or Welcome Pickups so your driver waits with a sign in the arrivals hall.
