Heads up if going to Indonesia soon. Our group of four divers arrived at the Sorong airport on 20 March 2019 for a flight to Ambon, only to learn the flight had been cancelled in January! No one in our group had received a notification or refund! Bad on us for not confirming our flight at least a day prior, but bad on Garuda, and our travel agent, Nusatrip, for not letting us know.
Garuda scheduled us the next day on Sriwijaya and offered a hotel room and taxi. We also negotiated for meals and the luggage fees Sriwi was going to charge us.
Upon arrival at Ambon, we found we weren't alone. A Dutch guest had learned from her travel agent, 4 days prior to her flight from Ambon, that her flight had been cancelled in January. Two Aussies travelling to Ambon from Lembeh, got 3-days notice from their travel agent.
Our host at Dive Into Ambon mentioned that he didn't know what was going on with all the cancellations.
I have looked online for news on the cancelled flights, but found nothing.
If traveling to Indonesia soon, check your flights.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
