Air Asia Indo is "vastly superior" just how? For travelling in Java and Kalimantan and to DPS, maybe. Otherwise AA-Indo still has a very poor network. They are of little use if you want to fly to Nusa Tenggara, Maluku or Papua. And they only fly to UPG and MDC in Sulawesi.
As I specifically said, Air Asia is a superior carrier than Lion for direct routes that they serve. Obviously, it is not a better carrier on routes they DON'T serve. As for just how, I'd say, specifically in terms of professionalism, efficiency and reliability of their service. The fact that you personally were able to book on Garuda's website does not alter the obvious fact that MANY other posters, including the OP, have NOT been able to with their credit cards, as evidenced by this thread.
