In Reply to: Bali airport closed posted by Sanur Update on Thursday, 31. March 2011 at 23:14 Bali Time:
they changed their minds or something!
I was on a flight from DPS last night, we were all boarded ready to go and then the pilot anounced that they had just been informed that the airport was closing without notice for an hour for repairs to the runway, this was at about 9.50pm we were due to depart at 10.10pm. This news went down like a tonne of bricks with all the passangers moaning and saying its Bali an hour could mean 2,3,4 or 5 hours.
The cabin staff started serving water and turned on the inflight TVs.
We could see a lot of cars on the runway out of the window.
Then about 20 minutes later the pilot announced that they had changed there minds and we could take off after all. So I think we left about 25 mins late.
I have no clue what actually went on but glad that we didnt have to sit there too long.
