Hi Rosey...thanks for the feedback. I did an archive search on the subject and I think you may have offered advice in the past when people have asked the same question - so I really appreciate your follow-up with me.
If we can get a flight, we will be going ex Adelaide. It's been just on 4 years since our last visit to Bali so I have no idea what aircraft configuration Garuda is currently using to go there, but I see that the flight frequency has been reduced to twice weekly - down from three. On both our previous trips we have travelled Biz class and it's our intention to maintain that tradition :) I agree with you, totally...it's outstanding value and worth every dollar.
Although we were lucky enough to get our preferred seating option on previous visits, judging by the comments of some travellers - and industry personnel (Putu Les)- it would appear that the allocation process is only done as people check in for the flight.
On the other hand, I found several postings from people, such as yourself, who were given their seat allocation details over the phone well in advance of the travel date. So...I guess I am saying that I am totally confused! Where are travelling from? Cheers - Kevin
