We've also changed carriers, originally AirNZ, which no longer flies directly to Auckland, NZ. Instead, it now flies to Melbourne with a 3-hour transit before Auckland.
We were told that it was due to a mechanical fault, so we're happy to change flights. Although it does mean that it will take longer to reach our destination.
That's okay, as my beloved had talked about flying the local airlines, such as Air Indonesia, Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines, which have good reputations for their hospitality on board. Now looking forward to seeing what it will be like flying with Air Indonesia Garuda Airways.
A big thanks to our children for sorting out the booking from their end in New Zealand, as it would have been more difficult for us trying to sort things out on this end. They also arranged for a later check-out time from the Villa that they booked for us, as well as a 3-hour lounge experience to hang out at the airport.
It will be neat to fly into Melbourne, but it will give my younger brother a rest from seeing us, as it's only 3 hours, and we won't be able to go out of the terminal, although we'll see. It's funny that we've been relaxed about the changes as sometimes you just have to go with the flow before saying goodbye to Bali...
