much bigger than Denpasar. There are plenty of places to eat. If from Sydney/Melbourne on Garuda you will complete customs formalities on the flight so no delays off the plane. Otherwise will do immigration in Jakarta and much more efficient and quicker than Denpasar.
If on Garuda on the way back check in at International, do immigration there and then in Jakarta just go straight up to departure area through the transit lane. Your bags will be checked fron Denpasar all the way through. You will pay the Rp150.000 departure fee in Denpasar and no more in Jakarta.
