Oh man, just discovered this thread... I am booked for a GA Business ticket LHR-CGK departing November 29th and returning December 11th, 2018. I haven't heard anything yet, but sounds like I may be getting contacted at some point to reroute or be refunded? This is already a pretty complicated itinerary involving other connecting flights booked separately from JFK on Virgin Atlantic. What a hassle.

Considering that inventory for W18 was withdrawn two months ago, that's a long time to not have flights available for sale. Much as I hope to be able to fly GA I suspect that they are going to end up pulling the route. But I just wish they would hurry up and make a decision so we can all move on - being in limbo means I can't plan.

I emailed [email protected] today, I wasn't pushing or suggesting to cancel as I would probably take a reroute if they pulled the flight, but was asking if there was any date by which a decision might be made. A reroute would have a significant impact on timings as my current itinerary has a stopover on Jakarta.
No useful update then, or at least nothing the UK staff can share.
Thank you for taking the time to email Garuda Indonesia.
We are still awaiting information regarding rescheduling of the Winter Schedule from Garuda Indonesia In Jakarta.
We are advising passengers/customers to keep checking the website as when they come back into schedule they will appear on the website.
Unfortunately we do not have anymore information regarding what the rescheduling is involving, nothing has been confirmed by Jakarta as of yet.

Just checked the GA website at 9am (UK time). Seems that fares have started to be loaded via AMS and not direct anymore? Does that all but confirm the cancellation of the LHR-CGK direct flights?

Interesting, thanks for noticing @siw that there are now connecting flights available via AMS.
Having just tried to replay my booking for December, what is also interesting is that GA appear to have a codeshare on Etihad flights from Heathrow through to Jakarta. Is this also a new development?
My actual destination is Bangkok, and my original trip plan had a stopover in Jakarta. But more interestingly there are direct Etihad codeshares for BKK - AUH - LHR...

From what I remember, all these options would show up when the London flights were there. Then it stopped showing anything at all
06:30 start is not going to be wonderful if we are rerouted via AMS
and there are 15 biz passengers on my flight, though I'll be wanting to travel the following morning and will be happy to go to AMS on the last flight the night before instead also no flights after 5pm on a Saturday in December?!

Update
I've just come off the phone from Garuda London who state that as far as they are aware the CGK-LHR winter schedule is still being "restructured" and they don't know what the restructure is nor when flights will be released. So it looks like the routes now showing via AMS may be a temporary workaround rather than the final solution. I also have flights booked to BKK with a stopover in CGK in February and not keen on these timings and routes so fingers crossed the final solution will be better.
