It seems that it is no longer possible to have any control over your seat allocation for business class in Garuda. The advice I received today was...try getting there as early as you can! Sorting seat allocation in Business used to be something you could do when they flew via adelaide but it seems now that it goes Melb-Syd-Denpasar this cannot be done. I'm not sure what is different about the process since Adelaide was dropped but it's a little sad that as time goes by more of those little things that helped set Garuda aside continue to simply disappear. Is this everyone elses experience with Garuda as well?
