Bali newsBali4 min read
The eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau is causing significant travel disruptions across Indonesia, impacting over 170,000 passengers and more than 1,558 flights as of September 7. While Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is the most affected, Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport has also experienced some delays, primarily with domestic flights. Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, Communication & Legal Division Head of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, stated that most international flights to and from Bali are operating normally with minor delays. Airport management is coordinating with airlines and AirNav Indonesia to monitor airspace and provide service recovery, including drinks and snacks, for affected passengers. Travelers are advised to confirm their flight status with airlines before heading to the airport and can contact the InJourney Airports Contact Center at 172 for airport-related information. Six volcanoes, including Mount Anak Krakatau, have erupted across Indonesia since August 31, though authorities confirm these events are not interconnected. Indonesia's national tourism board, Wonderful Indonesia, reminds travelers to prioritize safety, check destination conditions, and monitor updates from management, accommodation providers, and transportation operators.

Lisa Snowdon visits Bali wellness retreat after separation from fiancé
TV presenter Lisa Snowdon, 54, recently visited a wellness retreat in Bali following her separation from George Smart, her partner of 12 years. Snowdon shared on Instagram that wellness for her is about connection, including meeting people, engaging in conversations, physical activity, mindfulness, and occasional emotional release. She mentioned having a "good old cry" during her trip. Snowdon also stated that she feels stronger mentally and physically after participating in activities like pilates and hot Bikram yoga. Concerns about her relationship status arose when she was seen without her engagement ring and Smart was largely absent from her Instagram since January. The couple had previously dated two decades ago, rekindled their romance in 2014, and became engaged in 2016. Last year, Snowdon indicated she was not in a rush to marry, viewing marriage as a contract and preferring a relaxed approach.
