VIDEO CONTENT: A guide to bali international airport for first time visitors to bali. information provided in this video on money changers, sim cards/data packages/taxi.

MONEY CHANGERS: there are now 4 money changers within the arrivals hall at the international airport all offer exactly the same exchange rates with no commission charges. money exchange rates at the airport are lower than the money exchange rates that you will find at the street money changers in all the popular tourist areas.
MONEY CHANGERS: Mandiri, Bri, Bni, Btn
ATM MACHINES: you will find 3 atm machines located next to the mandiri money changer.
SIM CARD: There are 4 different companies in the international airport arrivals hall offering sim cards & data packages where prices start from 250,000idr.
4 TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES: XL, Telcomsel, IM3, Smartfren
OPERATING HOURS OF SIM CARD PROVIDERS: XL STAFF ADVISED ME THAT OPERATION HOURS ARE 07:00AM-03:00AM.
all international tourists arriving in bali whom wish to use internet whilst travelling around bali will be required to purchase an indonesian sim card. registration of the sim card is required by the company whom you purchase your sim card from, the company will require access to your phone device to install the sim card and register the card, this process will take a maximum of 5 minutes.
CAN I PURCHASE A SIM CARD OUTSIDE OF THE AIRPORT: it is possible to purchase a sim card outside of the airport however this can sometimes be a little difficult to find because many places sell sim cards but cannot complete the registration process, at the airport you are dealing direct with the telecommunications providers.
PURCHASING SIM CARD FROM THE STREET: you must be very careful if you decide to purchase a sim card data package from the street as in most instances the deal may seem better on the street than what is on offer at the airport but this is not usually the case as packages bought from the street will not be unlimited packages (unless same price as in airport) it will be split data.
TAXI: Taxi prices from bali international airport have now become expensive (even for such short journeys), 5 taxi options/booths are available within the bali international airport arrivals area. the first 2 options available Goldenbird & Discova will be the most expensive options available at the airport.
