We couldn't get a direct flight to perth (school hols) so had to go via jakarta.
Left denpasar international and arrived at jakarta international.
Fabulous airport with lots of lovely duty free shops to keep you busy.
Irony was that because of headwinds we had to return VIA BALI!!! to take on more fuel. We were suspicious that as the plane was half empty that they would be taking on more passengers but no after about 30 minutes sitting on the tarmac we took off .
On a positive note the scenery that you fly over - all volcanos emerging from the clouds is amazing. Useless if it's dark though.
