because it is Bali.
The new terminal in Bali is Changi (Singapore Airport) in reverse. What clowns designed and built the new Ngurah Rai terminal in Bali? And why was it opened prematurely? The place is an unorganised third world dump. I have never seen any airport so filthy so soon (December 2013). Even in the so called and hopefully temporary Premier Lounge for business and first class passengers the carpets were severely stained all over the place, a true bacteria bomb since food is handled and easten in there. I suppose the smaller Garuda BC lounge is not any better.
Those who are worried about the image of Bali should really worry. Thai Airways, Eva Air, Qatar, Singapore Airlines and other international airlines should also worry as this lounge is what they provide to Premium Fare travellers. The terminal is the first and the last part of Bali that visitors will remember, never mind all the so called smiles in between arrival and departure.
