We have booked Jetstar from Sydney for September and paid $918 each return, including taxes.
Garuda has a Wednesday only flight special(note garuda do fly other days) which would have cost us approximately $830 ea return ,including taxes. As the Garuda flight leaves at 10:00 am it meant that we would have had to book overnight accom .in Sydney (we live NSW north coast) $60 p.p.
Unfortunately we had a mix up with our agent and Garuda wanted an all up price of around of over $1000,so we opted for Jetstar with no overnight stop in Sydney, just a four hour wait for a connecting flight.
THe day after we booked Jetstar ,our agent rang and confirmed the cheap flight, but it was to late .
We flew Jetstar to Bali last March and had no complaints although we do prefer Garuda, but bear in mind Jetstar have newer aircraft,but Garuda have better customer service .
From memory I think there seating is 2,4,2 but I will stand corrected on that.
