TRIP REPORT – Garuda Adventure : A weekend in Jakarta

This story begins, as so many of mine do, with an airfare that was too good to pass up. It was Black Friday and I was fully intending to swoop up a premium airfare deal, no matter what. I had pretty much total flexibility on destination, date and airline. As always my only sticking point was that I wanted to travel in as much comfort as possible and ideally try a new product in the process.

REVIEW – Garuda Indonesia : Business Class – London LHR to Jakarta CGK (B777)

The seat may not be the most modern, particularly when it comes to the IFE but it is still comfortable, provides aisle access for all passengers and has seats to suit both couples and solo passengers. Above all the crew were exceptional. They were thoughtful, proactive, friendly, courteous and thoroughly professional throughout. They were truly up there with the likes of Singapore and the Japanese carriers. Nothing was too much bother for them and often they would go out of their way to suggest ways in which they could make your flight better.

TRIP REPORT – An offer too good to refuse : A spectacular trip to Tunisia and Vietnam

When I saw an airfare from Tunisia to Vietnam flying a combination of Air France and China Southern (both for the first time!), with the possibility of an extended stopover in Paris for £650 per person, round trip - I booked instantly. No questions asked.
