We travel Garuda business class every year from Sydney. Find it great. The meals are good, seats comfortable and staff friendly and efficient. Last year the dvd didn't work so we swapped seats. If you have business class seats you get free entry into the lounges - Qantas lounge in Sydney and the Garuda lounge in Denpasar, which is great with good food and handy location. Also lots of grog. You don't get a travel pack on the outward Sydney leg, but do on the into Sydney leg - go figure. Last year we made the mistake of booking the return leg via Melbourne. Don't do this, make sure you travel on a day the flight goes direct. The homeward flight usually leaves around 10.30pm, so we have late check out at the hotel, reach the airport about 7.00, go to the lounge, eat, drink, log on to the internet, go out and shop, then board the flight rested, fed and comfortable. We leave via Darwin on 15 June and return and come home 23 June, staying in Nusa Dua.
