In Belgium I booked a flight with Garuda from Bali to Jakarta, got the ticket and was very surprised at the reconfirmation time to find out that my flight had been cancelled. I had to take a flight earlier that day, thus loosing a half day (this happened last Saturday 24/10) of my holidays and adding another 5 hours waiting in an airport (and if you already know there will be 31 hours between taking the first plane and arriving home, then an extra added 5 hours is really no big fun.) Anyway, Garuda itself surprised me, never had a check in that was so very fast, the plane was very good as well as the service (I had expected the worse as everybody on this forum scared me off last summer).
