Garuda for Perth to Bali and back, lost count of the number of times since 1971, had a twelve hour delay once; years back; when the departure was 8pm from Bali. Bus to a 5 star hotel, fed and accomodated, bus back again next morning. No problems. With Garuda at least you know that you will get there and back. The fares we got for this June are with them are very competitive. Also, never had a problem with XS baggage charges in relation to Orphanage donations.
Thai and Emirates are excellent for UK flights, you youngsters eat your hearts out as they give us old wrinklies a discount. Don't even think about asking the price cos you wouldn't believe it.
