Hey Fiona it took us 15 plus hrs to get home on sat night sun morning
we had a direct flight with Garuda Denpasar to Melb should have landed in Melb at 8am, flew to melb circled for 45 minutes - air port had no visability then diverted to sydney to drop of the sydney passangers, couple of hours stop over in Sydney while we picked up some sydney to denpasar passangers then off to melb by the time we cleared customs (straight through - no wait) it was just after 3 pm.
- Direct melb to denpasar was also diverted to Adelaide on the way over to drop some direct return SA passangers off from Denpasar the night before, then picked up more SA passangers.
on the plus side by doing this flight was totally full both ways instead of having about 50% if we went melb direct.
