    I tried to select the dates around Melbourne Cup Day in Nov 2014 but the price is $ 796 so it's not really cheap. Still, it's a good deal because it's a direct flight from a full service airline.
    I remember they used to have a couple of immigration officers on board for inbound flights to Indonesia to assist you with custom clearance. Do they still do that?

    PS: I tried the Easter period (19/4 - 27/4) and the price is $ 1224.

    • bajaiman on 09/01/2014 - 13:19

      Yeap…they still have a couple of immigration officers on board. This is very useful if you're flying with infants/toddlers as you don't have to queue for immigration clearance once you're there. So once you're landed you just have to wait for your luggage which can sometimes take a while. This is one of the reason we flew with Garuda for the last 3 years…

      Garuda is the airline responsible for that horrible crash that killed one Australian journalist and badly burned another, to the point of near death. She survived but with horrible injuries.
      See these links:

      http://blogs.crikey.com.au/planetalking/2012/03/07/shame-rev…

      http://blogs.crikey.com.au/planetalking/2012/04/12/smh-garud…

      Channel 7 reports of the journalist who survived (after being rushed back to Australia with burns to 60% of her body for treatment by burns specialist Dr Fiona Wood) showed her on a gurney after extinguishing the flames from her own body by rolling in a rice paddy.

      I wouldn't call a flight with them a bargain, even if they paid me to fly with them.

        so you won't fly any airline in the world that ever crash? is it your point? just hope your qantas keep this record, otherwise you won't fly anywhere else

      Everyone is negging you, here's why:

      For ~$35 more than Jetstar this price including meals, baggage, entertainment, everything. You'd pay $35 ($17.50 each way) for that every day of the week.

      Bargain.

      • nadan on 09/01/2014 - 12:25

        Don't forget the service, Garuda's service I found to be really good.

      If it's their 737-800 plane, TV on every seat and they are touch screen and not the one with a remote. The person sitting in front of you could be annoyed if you keep pressing on the screen and if you press hard. With their other planes, not sure whether there is TV on every seat.

      hahaha biased much? XD

      but yes, compared to what they used to be, they've stepped up their game big time. Wasn't expecting anything when I flew to Japan using Garuda but heck, that was one of the best flights I've ever been on.

      only if you depart the plane and head straight to Kuta and stay there…

    • nadan on 09/01/2014 - 12:27

      The not so bogans base themselves elsewhere and not Kuta and then explore the entire island and beyond like Gilis.

    Flew them to Jakarta - better than Qantas (which is not hard). New plane, great food and service. Jakarta Airport on the other hand :/

    No brainer vs the bogan (Jetstar) express to Bali.

      How is that bad? They are joining Delta, which in turn is partnered with Virgin Australia. It's the best thing they could have done.

        Over 25 years ago, the ONLY cheap way to Japan was via Indonesia on Garuda.
        The ONLY meal option on the Japan leg with them was 'ox tongue' something.
        I had a bag of peanuts.
        I hope the food is not as 'dangerous' as it was then…

        • muncan on 09/01/2014 - 14:19

          What's wrong with ox tongue? When in Rome, do what the Romans do (eat offal).

          its now 2014.

          for the last 5 years Ive been on garuda, its the usual choice of omelette or their traditional rendang.

          better than jetstar with no food.

          if you're real picky with food try out Singapore/Etihad airline you'd get a 10 course meal of lobster and what not with a premium package. ;)

      • jackspratt on 09/01/2014 - 17:47

        You really should catch up at the back.

        The article you link to is 4 years old - this one gives a contemporary rating:

        But please - for all those nervous ninnies living in the past, please avoid Garuda, and give the rest of us a better chance of getting better seats.

    Vowed never to fly Garuda when their former CEO and a pilot (and probably Indonesia's intelligence agency) conspired to murder a human rights activist on board by slipping arsenic into his drink back in 2004.

    • xuqi on 09/01/2014 - 16:37

      And as per WiKi; In 2007, a Jakarta court found that Garuda was negligent in refusing to perform an emergency landing, and ordered the company to pay 600,000,000 rupiah in compensation to Munir's widow. When Garuda appealed this decision, the supreme court increased the compensation to an undisclosed amount.[8] Garuda then failed to pay the compensation.[9]

      I feel like starting a boycott campaign of this corrupt company.

    • j1568 on 09/01/2014 - 18:19

      Sometimes it's just your luck. I flew Singapore Airlines before and they left one of our luggage back at Singapore.

      I just flew with Garuda, food is okay but portion is small. Flight delays can happen to any airline. But with Garuda, I find they do not leave on their schedule time, but the flight time is shorter than what is shown on your schedule, resulting in potentially still reaching on time even though they departed later.

    Can't believe all the negativity on this post. Before this I had only heard good things about Garuda. Airport rankings had them in top 10 last year. I think it was even in top 5 for economy seating.
    You don't hear all these complaints on Jetstar postings even though Jetstar is obviously a much worse airline.

      Airlines that operate planes which crash usually cause more negativity than the lack of decent meals and poor cabin service.

    Never had a nice experience flying with Garuda. They cancelled the flight when the plane has few passengers to fill the seats with 24 hours notice phone call only. On board immigration was wasted services when you have to wait for 45 minutes to get your luggages.
