Im a regular tripper to bali and I always use the porters who have secret ways of getting you to tops of lines and through customs!Left bali last week the airport was horendous never seen so many asians leaving at one time the line was way down the footpath ouside the main doors paid the porters(2) 50,000rupiah told them thats all! well staight to the top of the line to everyone elses dismay but hey I didnt have the bags then they undid the rope stopping you from entering and lifted our very heavy cases on and off right up to the checking in were paid and no grumbles at all seem to be able to bend a few rules with these guys helping just be firm and polite about the price and how many you want sometimes it can work to your advantage someone told me they give percentage to custom guys too so you have more chance of been waived through when arriving?
