Taxis/Getting To The Venue
To those new to Asia it is recommended you use the Grab app to book transport (you can also use it to order food delivery)
There is no Uber in Bali.
You can download the Grab app here.
When leaving the airport it is recommended that you book a grab to your accommodation and follow the directions in the app to Grab lounge. Please note that that there will be a lot of taxi hagglers at Bali airport trying to get your attention and they can be quite aggressive trying to convince you to use their services.
You can find more details about the grab app here.
Local Sim Card
If you do not want to use roaming/eSIM on your mobile phone, you can get a short term, tourist SIM at the airport.
We would suggest a Telkomsel(TSEL) SIM which can be purchased upon arrival at Bali airport.
We recommend avoiding the SIM card kiosks in the baggage hall as better deals can be obtained outside the arrival hall once you have exited customs.
