I flew to Bali air Asia from the Gold Coast and arrived for the Christmas long weekend. I stayed at a few different places- Tune Hotel Seminyak, Evita Villas Ubud and Sativa Hotel Sanur. The main purpose of my trip was to get my open dive license. I hired a scooter for the week and had a great time.
I flew hand luggage only but returned with 25kg allowance and I needed it. I had 40 shirts made, screen printed and embroidered for my sisters company so I needed every gram of allowance. The quality was fantastic. I am amazed at the way they can copy things so accurately and yet if I asked for the same here I know I'd have no chance! I flew back on new years eve which was not the best way to see in the New Year but it was a cheap flight. Please feel free to ask any details or email me. I love this forum for getting advice. It has saved me so much in the past!
