You have to have your tickets printed and with you before you arrive. If you don't, you are at the mercy of the first guard station. When they finally let you through, there are duty free shops and a lot of tourist shops. There is a huge sign that says, "If you buy beverages you can take them on most flights." I think that means that you can take them on maybe 1 flight. This was the first time you have seen gatorade, in weeks, so you buy 2 bottles.
Then, you have to go through customs and another security bag scan - no big deal.
As you continue towards your gate, there is another stop where you have to pay a fee for being in the airport!! $150,000 rupaihs just to pass GO! (It also turns out that the person you are with does not understand how to add and thinks that he has enough money when in fact he only had $30,000 rupaihs).
Once you get to your gate, you learn that, in fact, you cannot bring beverages with you through the gate (even though you have been through 2 securities and BOUGHT YOUR BEVERAGE IN THE AIRPORT). At that time, you chug both gatorades, because you're not about to throw them away.
You go through another security post and then you are there! But, wait, no! You have to give some form to some lady before you can get to your gate.
And then, finally, you are on the plane out of Bali.
