How to book an airport transfer in Bali — what pickup time should I set?

A reliable formula: set pickup time as your scheduled landing time plus 40 minutes — that accounts for deplaning, passport control, and baggage claim. Use this as the arrival time in your booking voucher.

Experienced drivers don't show up exactly at landing time — they aim for when you'll actually exit arrivals. If your voucher shows 8:40 for an 8:05 flight, the driver will arrive at 8:40.

Most transfer services include a standard 1-hour wait after your flight actually lands. If you're delayed beyond that, contact the driver in advance and ask them to wait.

Better transfer services track your flight automatically, so the driver adjusts arrival time based on actual landing. When booking, it's worth asking whether flight tracking is included.
