I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport International Terminal Map (Most Up-To-Date)
The international terminal at DPS is a 120,000 m², L-shaped building with long airside walks that funnel everyone into a single arrivals processing spine. Arrivals run on the ground floor, departures above, with lounges and support space on the top level. Most wayfinding failures happen where flows compress (immigration, baggage claim and customs, arrivals exit), all within Bali’s main Denpasar airport hub.

I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport International Terminal Bali Indonesia International Terminal Map Strategy
- Treat immigration, baggage claim, and the arrivals exit as one continuous throughput corridor; your gate position sets the walk in length, and late arrival banks stack density fast.
- Make the last mile decision at the public exit doors: Grab and Gojek booking help is near the exit area, but economy pickups are not allowed at the international arrivals curb, so plan for the parking garage walk without backtracking.
- Use level numbers and named anchors to stay oriented: ground floor for arrivals processing, Level 3 for departure curb behavior and the parking garage pickup pattern, and Domestic Parking Building signage as the critical waypoint.
- Avoid taxi counter traps by committing to your path before entering the driver crowd: either proceed directly to the signed ride hailing route or leave the terminal frontage entirely for off site metered options.

Current operations still concentrate the biggest time risk into three back to back choke areas: immigration, baggage reclaim, and the arrivals exit transport frontage. The terminal L shape makes gate position matter, and the last mile transport rule set is the most punishing: standard Grab and Gojek pickups route to the Domestic Parking Building Level 3, not the international curb.

What is the exact walking distance (meters) from international arrivals gate exit to the start of the immigration queue (first stanchions)?
Walking distance is gate dependent and ranges from 250 to 850 meters from the aerobridge exit to the first immigration stanchions. Gates 1 to 5 typically feed into the shorter approach, while Gates 6 to 10 require the long L shape concourse walk before the immigration hall entry.
| Arrival gate range | Walk distance to first immigration stanchions | Key pass through anchors |
|---|---|---|
| Gates 1 to 5 | 250 to 400 meters | Immigration signs, Health Quarantine QR check |
| Gates 6 to 10 | 700 to 850 meters | Long airside corridor, Health Quarantine QR check, immigration hall entrance |
Where exactly are the e-gates / automated passport gates located inside immigration (which side/row), relative to the main manual counter lanes?
E-gates sit on the far sides of the immigration hall rather than in the central manual-lane mass. The typical pattern is automated gates on the right side as you enter immigration from the arrivals corridor, with the main manual counter lanes occupying the central blocks of the hall.
- Enter the immigration hall and do not join the central manual stanchions.
- Scan the far perimeter lanes on the right side first for E-VOA and Visa Exempt automated gate signage.
- Use the side access to reach the first autogate stanchions about 15 to 25 meters from the hall entrance.
- If the right side is closed or saturated, check the opposite far side perimeter before committing to the central queue.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from the baggage claim carousels to the international arrivals public exit doors?
Walking distance ranges from 180 to 260 meters from the baggage carousels to the final public sliding exit doors. The length depends on which belt you land on, with the farthest belts adding extra walk through the customs QR scan point and the duty free corridor before the public greeting area.
| Start point | End point | Walk distance | On foot anchors you must pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baggage belts 1 to 5 | International arrivals public exit doors | 180 to 260 meters | customs inspection and ECD QR scan, duty free corridor, money changer frontage |
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from the international arrivals public exit to the Grab / Gojek pickup point in the garage (including the correct level)?
Walking distance is about 650 to 800 meters from the international arrivals public exit doors to the Grab and Gojek pickup point at the Domestic Parking Building Level 3. This route is the highest risk wayfinding segment because it looks like curbside pickup should be nearby, but economy ride hailing pickup is not allowed at the international arrivals curb.
| Step sequence | Distance band | Level and anchor checks |
|---|---|---|
| Public exit doors to Domestic Parking Building entrance | 500 to 650 meters | stay on arrivals level, pass Starbucks side exit frontage, continue toward Gedung Parkir Domestik |
| Domestic Parking Building entrance to pickup area | 150 to 200 meters | go up to Level 3 by elevator or escalator, follow Grab and Gojek markings to the pickup bays |
Which door number / curb zone is the closest legal pickup path from arrivals to the Grab and Gojek desk, without crossing the main taxi driver crowd?
A specific door number or curb zone is not consistently published for the Grab and Gojek desk area, but the closest path is the public exit that opens beside Starbucks and keeps you within the first 50 meters of the greeting hall frontage. That routing lets you reach the branded Grab and Gojek information booths in about 20 to 45 meters without pushing deep into the taxi counter and driver cluster.
- Use the sliding public exit doors by Starbucks as your reference exit.
- After exiting, stay tight to the immediate frontage on that same side for the green branded Grab and Gojek booths.
- Do not follow anyone offering taxis or “help” past the booths if your goal is ride hailing guidance.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from international arrivals exit to the Novotel Bali Ngurah Rai Airport lobby using the covered walkway route?
Walking distance is about 400 to 450 meters from the international arrivals public exit to the Novotel Bali Ngurah Rai Airport lobby using the covered walkway. This is the cleanest escape route when the arrivals frontage is crowded because it runs parallel to the terminal rather than through the transport gauntlet.
- Exit the arrivals public doors and turn left toward Airport Hotel and Novotel signage.
- Stay on the covered walkway that parallels the terminal frontage, keeping the terminal wall on your right.
- Continue until the Novotel entrance and lobby signage, with luggage carts usable for most of the route.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from international terminal to the domestic terminal entrance via the shortest pedestrian route for a carry on only transfer?
Walking distance is about 500 to 750 meters from the international terminal arrivals exit area to the domestic terminal entrance using the shortest pedestrian connection via Festival Plaza. This is a landside transfer only, so you must clear immigration, collect baggage if checked, pass customs, and then re enter the domestic building through its entrance screening.
- Exit international arrivals to the public frontage and turn right toward Terminal Domestik signage.
- Cross the Festival Plaza connector area, staying on the signed pedestrian path toward Domestic Departures.
- Enter the domestic terminal at the main entrance doors and proceed immediately to the security screening at the entrance.
On the departure side, where is the first security and bag X ray checkpoint to enter the terminal, and what is the shortest path from curb drop off to that checkpoint?
The first security and bag X ray checkpoint is immediately inside the departures entrance doors on the departures level curb frontage. This is a near zero navigation segment, but it becomes a throughput choke when multiple buses or cars unload at once.
- Get dropped at the departures curb on Level 3 and face the nearest departures entrance doors.
- Walk straight through the doors to the first screening position, typically 10 to 25 meters from the curb line.
- If the first lane is backed up, scan left and right for an open parallel screening section before committing.
Where are the two sides / alternative lanes for the departure entry screening that travelers mention switching between to find a shorter queue?
Two parallel screening sections sit on opposite sides of the departures entry hall, and switching between them usually requires only about 20 meters of lateral walking. The common failure is joining the first visible lane straight ahead while a quieter section operates on the other side of the same entrance zone.
- After entering from the departures curb doors, check the screening lanes immediately to your left and immediately to your right.
- Move laterally across the front of the hall rather than advancing deeper into the first queue you see.
- Commit only after confirming which side has more open X ray belts and faster document checks.
Where is the taxi counter positioned relative to the arrivals exit, and what is the shortest on foot route to bypass it to a legitimate Blue Bird Group pickup area?
Blue Bird Group pickups are generally not allowed at the terminal curb, so the bypass route requires leaving the terminal frontage and walking off airport property. The taxi counter and sales gauntlet sit directly outside the international arrivals public exit area in the main greeting zone, which is why it is easy to get pulled into fixed price offers.
- Exit arrivals and keep moving straight away from the greeting crowd instead of stopping at counters.
- Head toward the airport exit gates and perimeter road alignment toward Jl. Dewi Sartika.
- Continue past the Novotel area and onward toward the Harris Hotel Kuta Tuban vicinity, where off site metered taxis are more feasible, at roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters from the arrivals exit.
What is the exact route (and walking distance) from arrivals to the Level 3 curb where travelers report catching a taxi after drop offs?
Walking distance is about 100 to 150 meters from the international arrivals exit area to the departures curb on Level 3, including the vertical move. This is the drop off capture tactic where travelers try to approach taxis immediately after they unload departing passengers, but enforcement can block pickups.
- From the ground floor arrivals exit frontage, locate the nearest elevator or escalator bank and go up to Level 3 departures.
- Follow signs toward departures curb and vehicle drop off, staying on the terminal edge rather than walking into the check in hall.
- Reach the curb line and scan for taxis finishing drop offs, noting that security may redirect you back to official taxi or the parking garage pickup system.
What is the exact route (and walking distance) from arrivals to the nearest stable connectivity point (SIM and eSIM booths or known strong signal area) between arrivals exit and transport pickup?
Walking distance is about 10 to 50 meters from the post customs arrivals flow to the nearest SIM booths inside the arrivals hall, before you commit to any transport routing. These kiosks sit immediately after the customs baggage check zone, making them the most reliable connectivity stop while you are still indoors and oriented by the baggage belt numbers.
- After baggage claim and the customs check, stay inside the arrivals hall and look along the belt side frontage for telecom kiosks.
- Telkomsel is positioned near baggage belt 4, and other providers are on the left side of the public exit hall.
- Buy and activate before exiting to the transport frontage so you can book Grab or Gojek and follow the Domestic Parking Building Level 3 pickup instructions without losing signal in the crowd.
