Those of you following the thread I started on the best Indonesian quickie may have a tip here for me.
I'm trying to get back from RA as quickly as possible after my trip ends on a saturday. The ferry from Wasai leaves at 11:00 on Saturday. Been told it gets in at 13:00.
Options and problems:
1. get 16:05 Garuda flight. problem: no economy seats left. question: anyone know a way to snatch one of these seats? already on the wait list.
2. get 14:35 Garuda flight. problem: obviously tight connection from ferry terminal to flight (at best 1hr35min). question: is it crazy to consider?
3. take 10:35 Express Air non-stop flight the next day. problem: cannot book online with a foreign Visa card. anyone have a reliable travel agent or other way around this problem? their support is unresponsive.
Bonus Questions:
1. has anyone ever got the "travel letter" you're supposed to have, or has anyone run into any problems not getting one?
2. anyone stay at the Hotel City View? Or have any must-stay here comments if I wind up with option #3?
Thanks.
