In the past couple of days we have been inundated with Quote enquiries and happily many new bookings for Bali.
Seems like there was much conversation over holiday period and many have decided to view the DFAT "Advisories" for exactly what they are - and have been since October 2002, and are disregarding the sensationalism by the Oz Media in favour of the reality learned from those who had returned to Bali and reported facts.
We're running in this weekend's Adelaide Advertiser and Sunday Mail with a 6.5 Night package at Puri Etnik, Kuta, for $678.00 + Tax. This includes Airfares, Private Car Transfers, Day use to 6 p.m. on last day plus daily Aussie Breakfast. Garuda and Freestyle Holidays have joined with us to come-up with this price ex Adelaide. There will be a difference due to Taxes ex Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Naturally Darwin and Perth are lots cheaper!
Basically, there is a $699 minimum ticketed price which includes around AU$40.00 against accommodation, so, regardles of where one wants to stay, there are some great prices around!!
This special which is for departures from 23rd January to 14th June is subject to availability in G Class with Garuda and is plus Taxes but contains around $40.00 towards accommodation regardless of where you want to stay as long as it's in a Wholesaler's programme. Full payment must be made prior to 27th January.
I'm fairly confident, from my talks with Garuda Management, that this price will not be extended, so, if you want to get back to Bali before 14th June, you should get in touch with your favourite Agent quickly.
