Hi Mike! we're going through Jakarta. But maybe next year!No stop in Bali for a visit?
Anyone fly the Garuda nonstop between Jakarta and Sorong and have feedback?
Raja Ampat easier to reach thanks to Garuda's new Jakarta-Sorong service - The Jakarta Post
Batik are usually less tight on carry on than Lion Air, worse being Wings. Anyway it will all depends on ground staff, if the manager is around or not. Usually playing the dumb card with the smile helps you to get away with a few kg overweight. Sometime i carry more than 25kg on carry on split on 2 or 3 bags, sometime cannot take more than 7kg as stipulated in conditions of carriage. Just be ready to pay for the extra and do not overstress, that is Indonesia, there is a solution to every problem
Experience has been if you mark one as sports goods, all will go through over weight and it's fine.. Not sure why that is the case.. probably a system thing that allows them to do it.. What do you all think?
Lion Air did not accept that, sigh. Not that I'll be flying them again in any event
