What UPG to DPS looks like
The UPG to DPS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Makassar UPG to Bali DPS is a short sector of 634 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 634 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 26m.
Makassar UPG is a smaller airport in the network held here, 35 scheduled destinations and 105.3 departures a day. Bali DPS has 61 destinations and 211.1 departures a day.
Makassar and Bali 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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on UPG to DPS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| UPG to DPS | 5.86 | 41 | Batik Air, Citilink, Lion Air, Sriwijaya Air |
| DPS to UPG | 4 | 28 | Batik Air, Citilink, Lion Air, Sriwijaya Air |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
The two directions are not level: UPG to DPS runs 5.9 times a day, the return runs 4 times a day, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
At 5.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 69 departures a week on UPG 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 1h 26m block time on UPG 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 UPG | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At UPG before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| UPG to DPS in the air, estimated | 86 min | 5h 56m |
| Formalities at DPS | 90 min | 7h 26m |
| Delivery run in Bali | 45 min | 8h 11m |
| Door to door | 491 min | 8h 11m |
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 UPG to DPS is 8h 11m.

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. 6 of them join UPG to DPS.
| Connecting at | UPG to hub, flights a day | Hub to DPS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lombok LOP | 0.57 | 12.86 | 669 | 2h 59m |
| Surabaya SUB | 13.71 | 14.22 | 1,094 | 3h 37m |
| Yogyakarta YIA | 4.86 | 4.21 | 1,667 | 4h 14m |
| Jakarta CGK | 21.29 | 36.71 | 2,415 | 5h 05m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 1.71 | 14.57 | 4,128 | 7h 31m |
With 5.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
6 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Lombok LOP, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through LOP the routing covers 669 km against the 634 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 59m 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 33m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Surabaya SUB at 3h 37m and Yogyakarta YIA at 4h 14m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

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 UPG 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.
