Very good & honest reply. I am in Bali now & I used Hadi 3 weeks ago. My girlfriend arrived last week & I also booked Hadi for her. The cost was Rph. 250,000 ea. I found the process very smooth & fast especially when traveling on your own, my friend totally agrees with me. Although neither of us got out of the airport that much faster than others on our flight, this was not the fault of the VIP operators.
We seemed to wait a long time for our luggage to be off loaded from Jetstar plane. No, using the Bali operators we did not have the lounge service but, we were through immigration & customs so fast, I would not want to pay the Aussie price for just a few minutes. Once through immigration you still have to be there to identify your luggage for collection. Depending on the exchange rate the Aussie service works out about $13 more than the Bali operators.
As nice as the lounge service sounds I can't see that there would be enough time to really enjoy it. Personally I will go Bali operators every time.
