The return leg takes around 4 hours 25 minutes, a slight difference that reflects prevailing winds.

The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

There is no rail or mass transit link yet—the Bali Metro is still in planning and not expected to open until 2031. Car rentals are available but driving yourself can be daunting due to traffic and local road conditions.
