As reported further down, Garuda are reducing their flights out of Brisbane. What this means for those of use departing from NZ is that there will effectively be no Garuda flights via Brisbane from Auckland from Nov 19 - Mar 25 - see sales@garuda.co.nz. We were due to fly out Dec 27 and have just managed to secure flights Auck/Melb/Bali - means we have to depart 24 Dec though which is a shame - Xmas in Bali - anyone done that?
