Smog levels in parts of Kalimantan and Sumatra, are so bad at the moment, that 5 airports are closed. Visibility is down to 50-100 meters in places, making landings impossible. Another factor greatly affecting Indonesian air travel right now is Ramadan.

Indonesia’s national carrier, Garuda Indonesia has been in economic difficulties for a while. The government has bailed them out before, and they still have much debt. I’ve flown on Garuda many times and think they are a decent airline, despite my dramas with them in London.

Most visitors to Bali, head to the Kuta / Seminyak area, on their first day here. Kuta is just 2 miles from the airport, and the big beachfront hotels in Tuban, are just a mile away. Some people however, like my friends from Oregon, have never been to Kuta, and instead head straight to Ubud, preferring the quieter pace. Just how easy is this to do stepping off a plane in Bali?

Arriving at Denpasar airport at around 8.20pm (Bali is the same time as Singapore, but 1 hour ahead of Jakarta), we alighted, and the plane basically split into Visa On Arrival (VOA) and Long Stay Visas (including KITAS and Business).

Visitors to Bali, as well as expats sometimes look for an close alternative, to the Bali beach scene. One option is Senggigi Lombok.
An old copy of the Indonesia Handbook, from 1991 has this description:
The coral and snorkeling at this popular beach area, 6km north of Ampenan, is fantastic-4 straight kms of pure white sand, blue-green sea, and no crowds.
