A couple of significant items of note in this week’s news:

Bali Airport Closures in October

Owing to the APEC summit to be held in Bali, airport authorities have decided to close Bali Denpasar airport on the main VIP travel days immediately before and after the conference. According to DesinAsian, the airport will be closed on October 5 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, October 6 from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, October 8 from 10:00 to 8:00 pm and October 9 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. If you have already booked flights on these dates, your airline should be getting in touch with you about rescheduling.

Also, if you have booked a hotel anywhere in the vicinity of Nusa Dua, you may want to check with the hotel about whether or not you still have a room.
