Well I must have been more grateful .. cause they gave me more than you got.
Why does everyone keep bagging Garuda, their answer was a lot more pleasant than the blunt "No we dont do that" that Australian Airlines often gives. Without Garuda we would have one airline going direct to Bali and I am sure without the competition the price would go up significantly! Then those people who whinge about current cheap prices would definitely have something to whinge about.
And you are lucky that after telling them "big deal" - after giving you 10kg extra (per person!) that they didnt have to give you - that they didnt retract the approval.
Big deal? Yes it was - they gave you something for nothing, and the opportunity to provide for others, what a shame the offer wasnt fully appreciated. Got too much stuff? Take it next time. Dont like it? Hey fly Australian and see how much fun it is getting extra allowance from them.
Be grateful for what you got - 20kg EXTRA (ie. 2 passengers) is heaps - and better than nothing.
This post may cause a lot of bad feedback but hey I dont care - it appears we might have to start calling this the BWF (Bali Whinge Forum).
