was almost fully booked. There have been no Economy Class seats available except on Wait-List for past week. I was able to get two clients confirmed from cancellations. Even Executive Class had only 3 seats available yesterday afternoon.
Bookings over past couple of weeks have been picking-up well and enquiries are particularly strong, especially for July and September School Holidays.
Garuda has some great fares right now which are certainly helping to stimulate growth in the Bali market. Biggest problem - not just for Bali but for ALL destinations, is the cost of taxes/surcharges, mostly due to Fuel Surcharges (ex Adelaide to Denpasar is now $216.00 for Adults). After taking these into account, fares are actually lower than we were selling many years back.
