What AKL to DPS looks like
The AKL to DPS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Auckland AKL to Bali DPS is a long haul sector of 6,740 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 6,740 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 8h 37m.
Auckland AKL is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 56 scheduled destinations and 189.2 departures a day. Bali DPS has 61 destinations and 211.1 departures a day.
Bali runs 5 hours behind of Auckland in January and 4 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on AKL to DPS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| AKL to DPS | 1.14 | 8 | Air New Zealand, National Airlines |
| DPS to AKL | 1.14 | 8 | Air New Zealand |
Two carriers hold the sector, Air New Zealand and National Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 16 departures a week on AKL to DPS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 8h 37m block time on AKL to DPS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to AKL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At AKL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| AKL to DPS in the air, estimated | 517 min | 13h 07m |
| Formalities at DPS | 90 min | 14h 37m |
| Delivery run in Bali | 45 min | 15h 22m |
| Door to door | 922 min | 15h 22m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for AKL to DPS is 15h 22m.
A courier who leaves Auckland at 09:00 local is on the ground in Bali at about 12:37 local and at the door by 14:52 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Bali, the last useful departure from Auckland is around 12:08 local.
At 15h 22m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 17 of them join AKL to DPS.
| Connecting at | AKL to hub, flights a day | Hub to DPS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Coast OOL | 2.71 | 1.57 | 6,771 | 10h 19m |
| Sydney SYD | 11.71 | 6.86 | 6,782 | 10h 20m |
| Brisbane BNE | 7.86 | 3.71 | 6,783 | 10h 20m |
| Adelaide ADL | 1.71 | 2.14 | 7,011 | 10h 27m |
| Cairns CNS | 0.57 | 0.71 | 7,052 | 10h 30m |
| Melbourne MEL | 8.57 | 9 | 7,019 | 10h 39m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at AKL in the afternoon actually flies on.
17 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Gold Coast OOL, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through OOL the routing covers 6,771 km against the 6,740 km nonstop track and takes about 10h 19m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Sydney SYD at 10h 20m and Brisbane BNE at 10h 20m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
Restricted hours at either end

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for AKL to DPS in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
