Again, in regards to food, pax on CGK to SRG was never served hot food, as it's a 70 minute flight. Flights over 90 minutes would get hot meals afaik. This is the same with CGK to JOG and other Central Javan destinations as well as TKG.

Finally, I really am confused, why does Garuda only sell full flex Y these days on almost all domestic routes?? I've been looking for flights to DPS for the next few months, and they're all in excess of Rp. 3.8 mil return! For that price a couple years ago, you could've gotten 2 passengers from CGK-DPS return.
Part of the reason why my partner and I have not been to Bali in almost 5 years because prices have just skyrocketed.

There was a big issue about domestic airfares reported in the news the past 2 months and GA/other carriers seem to have lowered their fares, by $20 each way to accommodate the new lowered price ceilings as mandated by the government.

I think the closest flight to have a hot meal would be to SUB. I flew CGK-SRG and CGK-TKG and was only given a box of snack which was 1 plastic cup of water and 1 bread and maybe something else.
