Bali may be home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, but now the high-life experience can begin even before you touch down on the Islands of the Gods.
Starting from 1st June 2023, travelers will be able to fly to Bali aboard an A380 superjumbo from Dubai with Emirates Airline. The double-decker plane is the world’s largest commercial passenger plane. Incredibly, the service from Dubai to I Gusti Ngurah Rai International will operate daily from the summer.
Though the first announcement of the new flight service was made last year, more details about the superset’s daily journey have been revealed by an official from Emirates.
Speaking to reporters Adnan Kazim, who is Emirates’ chief commercial officer, shared the airline’s excitement for the new service.
He said, “The Emirates A380 is synonymous with our fly better promise and world-class products and services, and we’re excited to offer our travelers the opportunity to experience its uniqueness and unmatched beauty on flights to and from Bali.”
Whether in business class or economy, the experience of flying on an Emirates A380 service is unforgettable. The daily service will depart Dubai at 3.25 am, landing in Denpasar at 4.35pm. After a quick turnaround, the return service leaves Bali at 7.40 pm, arriving in Dubai at 1 am the following morning.
The service will feature 58 business class seats in addition to 557 economy seats. This is the first time an A380 service will be operating in Indonesia, and it comes as huge news for the tourism and aviation industries.

Officials in Bali are working hard to ensure that 2023 is the year that the island becomes more accessible than ever before. It is not only the Emirates A380 Dubai-Bali service that is being added to the schedule in the coming weeks and months.
Earlier this year, officials from Bali airport revealed that thirteen airlines had submitted requests to operate new flights to and from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International. They have said that more details will be announced as soon as approvals have been formally granted.
What we do know is that there are several new flight services between Australia and Bali that will launch in April. Back in February, Indonesia’s national carrier, Garuda Airlines, announced huge updates to their flight services.

Immigration nightmare coming soon. 2000 people arriving at once from Russia, China Taiwan, Australia and Britain and not enough room in the arrival hall for all of them. They will be passing out from heat exhaustion.

More tourists...ugh. An A380 is a heavy plane with more passengers crammed into it.
It's been known that Emirates is one of the Airline that has flights to Russia via Dubai from Denpasar vice versa. The most common Airline used by Russian tourists seeking refuge in Bali. Sigh...it's no secrets. There is no direct flight from Russia to Indonesia or to other places around the world for that matter.

FRA - DPS v.v. € 967,- or Business € 3691,- if booking now 😂 How is your business 🤣 Perhaps only affordable for Emirates crew’s, their family members and their friends who can fly for free.

Hope the airport will be ready to cope with 600 pax arriving at the same time plus all the other regional flights usually landing within the same time frame. Will be interesting to see !
