Grab's airport counter is a game-changer for sure. I've used all three – Bluebird's usually reliable but can be pricier, especially with luggage. Gojek's fine if you're comfortable hailing a bike taxi (though less ideal with lots of bags). Pre-booked is convenient but often the most expensive. For the best balance of cost and convenience with luggage, Grab from the airport counter is probably your best bet.

That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered the airport counter for Grab – I always assumed it was just for booking ahead. Good to know about the price differences between Bluebird and Gojek too. Definitely leaning towards Grab now.

Kuta to Sanur or Seminyak on New Year's Eve?

Partner's in Kuta hospital, roads closing for NYE. Better bet for getting back to a hotel in Sanur or Seminyak tomorrow evening?

Oof, that's a tough one. New Year's Eve in Bali is… something else. Sanur's generally calmer than Seminyak, so the roads might be slightly less chaotic getting back to your hotel. But with your partner in the hospital, the shortest, least congested route wins. Use Google Maps (or whatever app you have) right now – check traffic predictions for both routes at the time you anticipate leaving. That'll give you the best real-time answer. And honestly, maybe have a backup plan...like a driver on standby if things get truly insane. Wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
