We booked last Feb for Jan next year and instead of Garuda direct or Jet* direct we have opted for Syd-Darwin, then Darwin-Bali and the savings for 4 is $1650.00, as much as we don't want to spend longer traveling (the wait for connecting flights) we could not go past the savings. And now as it turns out youngest daughter has ear problems and the longer she is in the air the worse the problem becomes, so breaking the flight up both ways should make it easier for her, here's hoping anyway.
Maybe we got the cheaper prices because we booked so long in advance, I don't know but the savings we made is now our spending money.
I will post on how tiring it is when we get back.
