You all thought it wouldent happen but it did to us.
We left home in Bali at 10 am yesterday to take the short 30 min flight to Lomboc.
We arrived at our hotel at 6pm after a very long delay at the airport.
As it turns out the 1981 small jet had a problem??
We did have seat allocation but this went by the board when the flight finally opened after a 4+ hr delay and there was a stampeed for the plane.
As there wern't many seats in the waiting room,we took advatnage of one the several guest rooms at A$12 ea inc nibbles soft drinks.
And yes they can smoke next to you.....and beleive me they do!
The hotel transfer had left so we took the oldest 1970 ish taxi in Indonisia to the hotel,scarey!!
We did'nt take the boat as it was too ruff!!
We dont have a solution to the above unless you can aford the chopper rental :)
