Suffice to say this CGK DPS experience has been, quite the trip I've made...
It will be some time before I visit again.
The sriwijaya air one way ticket costed 4m+ IDR, and conrad is ripping me another 4.5m+ IDR just to take me to BWX.
I hope this airline is at least KA quality >_<

Ive never even heard of BWX, and I live in Indonesia much of the time.

As for Conrad charging 4.5mio to BWX - that is expensive! But it is quite far from Bali (you need to take a ferry and cross the straits) - a friend of mine chartered his own car this week and still had to spend close to 2mio!

We've lost to the Singaporeans again (and bloody Scoot to boot). I hope the hand-wringing brigade at Central Government Complex will place a call to Cathay City this morning.

To be honest, knowing the state of Indonesian roads & driving & ferries, that is not a liability risk that I would take (as an airline) If the coach crashes... Better to ask/ pay the airport to lay on the coaches, to make it clear it isn't part of the airline's CoC.

if the Conrad is open to milking the situation,& seemingly pulling it off, I'm sure a 'sign indemnity' request by SQ/MI/Scoot would have a 100% sign up rate..

What if it's a non-carrier - it's their agent then?
