on your next visit when you depart Bali.
As now when you are departing, trolleys for your luggage seem to be almost a thing of the past. Now it is difficult to get a trolley as all the porters have got the trolleys. So if you have heavy luggage, particularly luggage that can't be wheeled then you will have no choice but to get a porter, unless you want to struggle trying to carry everything.
A few weeks ago when I departed Bali with a friend of mine, I asked my driver could he please get us a trolley...and he said it is very hard to get trolleys now and there were none in sight for us to use. So we grabbed a porter who charged us 20.000rp. I find it's better to get a porter when you depart as they take you all the way to your airlines check in desk. As long as you negotiate before you hand over your luggage.
