what your wife was told was correct,on the surface at least lol,in as much as 99% of recent delays will have been due to late arrival of flights from bali and normally it is blamed on the weather i.e. fog over Perth lol,but strangely enough you do not hear other airlines having to constantly delay flights due to our "fog".
I would be very surprised to find that there was an airplane sitting on the tarmac at bali waiting for the "fog" to clear over perth every time there's a delay announced, more likely it had already been diverted to another flight somewhere hence the delay,otherwise why the delay of arrival till around midday the following day?,fog if any at all in perth, is at night not daytime so why delay leaving bali till hours after ANY "fog"has already dispersed?.
garuda seem to be frightened of biteing the bullet and changing their flights officialy to the times they so obviously prefer ie first flight out of perth around midday and cant grasp the fact that people get more pissed off with the fact of constant delays than they would with less "acceptable" flight times than did in fact operate at the advertised time.
