as with any package holiday to Bali with most carriers, it is possible to purchase a minimum number of nights accommodation (usually 4 but in some cases 3)in a budget hotel to achieve what is known as "MTP" (the minimum amount required for ticketing), following which a period of "own arrangements" is possible up to the maximum number of nights for the package allowed by respective airlines. In the case of Garuda, this is 21, whilst with Air Paradise it is 35 (thereby allowing one to stay for full 30 day Visa duration).
When we sell this and are aware that clients do not intend to actually utilise their pre-paid accommodation, we ask that they show their courtesy to the hotel concerned and ensure that vouchers are delivered to them to ensure they receive payment from the Wholesaler.
