A viral TikTok video from 3 November 2023, captured a Russian teenage girl tourist causing a disturbance at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport as she resisted returning home with her parents. Despite their persuasion, the teenage girl attempted to stay in Bali, leading to a dramatic scene at the international flight gate. It featured the girl running away, with her parents seeking assistance from airport officials.
The video, originally shared by @janroni495, rapidly gained widespread attention. Initially, these families intended to proceed to the international flight gate, but as they neared the security checkpoint, the daughter suddenly veered away, expressing her reluctance to return to Russia.

Her startled father attempted to chase her, encouraging her to enter the airport waiting room, while the mother engaged with airport staff in their efforts to locate and manage their distressed child.
The girl’s unwavering refusal to return to her home country with her parents left the motive behind her decision unclear. Following intense negotiations with airport personnel, she finally made her way to the airport waiting area with her parents.
The Russian family was set to board China Southern Airlines CZ626 for their flight to Guangzhou, China. Fortunately, the airport efficiently resolved the situation, ensuring it didn’t disturb other passengers.
The viral TikTok video afterward made its way to numerous social media platforms, sparking a flurry of comments from users. Among these, one comment suggested that the child had become so accustomed to the allure of Bali that she was reluctant to leave with her parents.
The Russian tourist incident at the airport is one of many in 2023. People wish that future visitors will follow the rules so that everyone can enjoy their holidays in Bali.
