I still remember my 1st trip with my kids we were so excited & still get like that with each return trip.
I have flown Garuda in the past from Sydney.Nice seats, free food & drinks, movies all was good.
Depends on your transfer arrangements. If your transfer comes with the hotel booking I wouldnt be worried about tipping but if you have organised a local Balinese to drive you yes I would tip probably about RP20000. If you like his driving & personality get his name & number for future trips while you are on holidays.
In comparison a taxi from the taxi booking office at the airport will cost you RP55000 to all seasons one way. No tip required
Buy your duty free in Melb
have an awesome time with your son in Bali Im sure you will both love it. Look forward to hearing how your travels went as a first timer
