your veiled apology for being wrong about the legality of the VIP is accepted.
All is now revealed, as your true agenda is exposed.
You are clearly promoting your own "official VIP service" as endorsed by Garuda airlines.
As Australians like to say "This is man with two faces".
Your speculation regarding kickbacks is as accurate as your speculation on the legality of the VIP services offered by Bali based service providers.
Additionally, the "couple of locals" that you so flippantly refer to are just people trying to carve out a living, and don't need the likes of you to tear that away with your so called Government endorsed Garuda services.
I will be paying the full fee for mum to go through VIP, and I will not support your supposed "legal" alternative service as it is not supported by bona fide Australian travel companies.
In fact "shonky" is the word that springs to mind.
Its good to see you are out from under the rock.
