I must say I got really worried before going to Bali, due to all the negative comments about Garuda Indonesia posted on the Forum :)
It was so worrying that I almost tried to change my tickets !
But everything was OK on the way in and on the way out! The plane was modern a 747, it actually looked better than the Air France I took to New York. The crew fed us a lot (18 hours flight...), they were nice and helpful. The food was correct, we didn't get sick :)
The last part of the trip (from Singapore to Bali) is non smoking, even in the smoking area, so beware, same for the stops where you're supposed to stay in the plane.
I hope this will avoid stress to people bound to fly Garuda Indonesia, and remember that Garuda was the vehicle of the god Vishnu, if it was good enough for him, it should be good enough for you :)))
