In Reply to: Question re booking for xmas posted by Cheryl on Sunday, 10. September 2006 at 12:33 Bali Time:
Booking direct with Garuda was last week, about $30 dearer than on Zuji.com However I went with Garuda because my reading vision isn't too good after surgery for the time being and I was scared of making an error.
The cost for 2 return from 3/12/ - 29/06 from Perth was $1440. I'm happy with that for the time of year and that any Q class were still available. They have an extra flight on 29th at lunch time which suites me because I hate the late flight back. Not the Bali end but the Perth end especially if there happens to be another flight down. The Q class seats were still available on the day flight only. I then booked my own hotels at Sanur for 5 days at a little over Rp.200.000 per night incl. bfast. then in Kuta for 6 more at around the same price. Then surprise surprise Kumala Pantai was able to fit us in for 15 nights as long as we don't mind changing rooms. We don't mind at all. The end of the stay will be at 20% extra accomodation for high season. I'm very happy with all that. Haven't tacked it all up yet but it sounds like a reasonably cheap holiday to me.
Good luck with yours. There may or may not be cheap deals nearer the time. Who knows?
