Help! Best way from Gili T to DPS Airport on a Sunday? (Padang Bai vs Serangan)

Our take

Hey everyone! My wife and I are wrapping up our amazing trip on Gili T this Sunday and need to get back to DPS Airport. We’re exploring a few ferry options but timing has us a bit anxious since we have a flight to catch. We’re considering ferries arriving at Padang Bai at 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM, or Serangan at 11:50 AM. We’d love your insights on which option gets us to the airport quicker and how traffic is on Sundays.

Hey everyone!

My wife and I are finishing up our trip on Gili T this Sunday and need to get back to the airport (DPS). We’re looking at a few ferry options but the timing is making me a bit nervous since we have a flight to catch.

We’ve narrowed it down to these three arrival options:

Padang Bai @ 10:30 AM (Eka Jaya)
Padang Bai @ 11:00 AM (Wijaya Buyuk)
Serangan @ 11:50 AM (Wijaya Buyuk)

The big questions:

- Which one actually gets us to the airport sooner? I know Serangan is geographically closer to Kuta/DPS, but the boat ride is longer. On the flip side, I've heard the drive from Padang Bai can be a nightmare.

- How’s the road traffic on a Sunday? Is it usually jammed with people heading back from the coast, or is it manageable?

- Arrival Time Confusion: On FerryScanner, Wijaya Buyuk says one time, but their official website lists the arrival as 30 minutes later. Does anyone know why? Is that just "buffer time" for unloading luggage, or is the boat just slower than advertised?

I'd love some "boots on the ground" advice.

Thanks in advance for the help!
