What DPS to TFU looks like
The DPS to TFU sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bali DPS to Chengdu TFU is a long haul sector of 4,492 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 4,492 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 5h 55m.
Bali DPS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 61 scheduled destinations and 211.1 departures a day. Chengdu TFU has 173 destinations and 533.1 departures a day.
Chengdu carries about 2.5 times the departures of Bali, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Bali and Chengdu keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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.

The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 5h 55m block time on DPS to TFU. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to DPS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At DPS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| DPS to TFU in the air, estimated | 355 min | 10h 25m |
| Formalities at TFU | 90 min | 11h 55m |
| Delivery run in Chengdu | 45 min | 12h 40m |
| Door to door | 760 min | 12h 40m |
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 DPS to TFU is 12h 40m.
A courier who leaves Bali at 09:00 local is on the ground in Chengdu at about 14:55 local and at the door by 17:10 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Chengdu, the last useful departure from Bali is around 09:50 local.
At 12h 40m 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. 20 of them join DPS to TFU.
| Connecting at | DPS to hub, flights a day | Hub to TFU, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hanoi HAN | 1 | 1.43 | 4,506 | 7h 30m |
| Ho Chi Minh City SGN | 3.14 | 1.57 | 4,551 | 7h 49m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 3 | 18.86 | 4,747 | 8h 03m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 3 | 1.43 | 4,752 | 8h 04m |
| Jakarta CGK | 29.86 | 0.57 | 5,042 | 8h 08m |
| Bangkok DMK | 1.43 | 1.71 | 4,853 | 8h 12m |
20 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Hanoi HAN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through HAN the routing covers 4,506 km against the 4,492 km nonstop track and takes about 7h 30m 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 35m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Ho Chi Minh City SGN at 7h 49m and Guangzhou CAN at 8h 03m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Chengdu, Chengdu CTU is 56 km away by great circle and carries 67 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
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 DPS to TFU 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.
