    I went to Bali and a fair few other places in Indonesia (including Yogyakarta) back in 1991 and flew GI. To my mind they are the worst airline in the world and I swore never to fly with them again. (I should point out I fly regularly with many different airlines)

    Obviously they may have improved since their ban to Europe but think I will give this a miss (as much as I would love to visit Bali again!)
