Now this is an airline taking care of its passengers. I guess it's not a perfect scenario, but if you have to get off of Bali then this isn't bad:
From SingaporeAirlines.com
"Singapore Airlines has arranged for customers to be transported via coaches and ferries from Bali to Surabaya, where they will be accommodated on flights to Singapore. The land journey from Bali to Surabaya will take approximately 18 hours. Efforts will be made to contact customers who have registered their mobile phone and email details with us. "
The transport departs at 0600. No word on how long they will continue this but I suppose it's either until SQ gets all the passengers off the island who want off (and had booked through SQ) or SQ limits it to a few days.
18 hours departing at 0600 is a midnight arrival. That means either a 1 or 2am departure to Singapore or an overnight in Surabaya. No word on the website whether SQ is putting people up in hotels and then flying the next morning or what.
And no word on people who need to get back to Bali being offered the reverse of the above.
Still a nice gesture from SQ.
