it was the first time i flew with lion air and surprisingly enough for me, it was a nice one. yes, the seats were a little bit cramped compare to the ones garuda's have, but it was on time and a very smooth landing i had.

it was pitty for garuda. as the flag carrier of this nation and having an extensive frequency flying between jakarta and denpasar, garuda is not reliable at all in terms of punctuality.

i've experienced several long delays and cancellations flying with garuda to/from bali and it seemed that the carrier never tried to improve itself.

having flown with lion air, certainly, i don't have problem flying with them again. a glass of water served on board for 1.5 hours flight? no worries.
