Only the supply supply side of the operation has been addressed here. No word on demand. Has anyone got access to UK-Indonesia MIDT traffic data ?
For US passengers would travelling to Jakarta via London be going the wrong way round the world?

Bunga, pronounced "bu-nga" means flower
Repeating the word indicates the prural form of the word so "flowers"
Why the focus on US passengers ?

This is very interesting to hear, not least as I am currently planning a Family Reunion out in Central Java (where my dutch grandfather grew up and experienced the Japanese occupation during WW2) early next year.
Couple of questions:
(i) When, typically, do winter schedule flights get announced by BA and available for sale?
(ii) What likelihood that the LHR-CGK (via SIN) flight will have its own reward availability over and above LHR-SIN? for instance, are there any evidence that LGW-CMB has different award availability to LGW-MLE?

I'm sorry, but this thread title has been on the front page and the ellipses are so inviting I simply must interject:
My wife's gone to Indonesia.
Oh really, Jakarta?
No, she went by air!

Pretty soon we will be asking for hotel recommendations. I am not quite sure if the Hotel Bunga Bunga in Jakarta is me:
Hotel Bunga Bunga
Jalan Antara No.13-15, Pasar Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia 10710
http://bungabungagroup.com/
I am reliably informed that bunga bunga has a different meaning in Indonesia.

Not sure about this cafe though

Shame still no word about KUL...
oh well - will have to take the plunge and book our next 12 tickets on MAS.. as prices remain high and flightstats puts some fare classes are starting to sell out in Business Class for the dates we need...
come on BA - would have much prefered to spend the cash on Club World!!

Mining, gas, oil, finance all increasingly important sectors in Indonesia and also relative strengths in the UK economy. Adds in all the support traffic to those industries (legal, consultancy, support services) and dust with a growing consumer goods and retail sector.

SO, I have a question:
My group and I have a concert in Jakarta in November, and have requested to fly BA. Currently we'll be booked into Club World via HKG. If BA introduces a direct service on our dates (14th-18th Nov), is it likely BA would offer to transfer us onto the direct flight, or would it be our bad luck for booking too soon? It's never happened to me before.
Thanks!
