Skytrax rated 5 * airline Garuda Indonesia is currently offering some superb Business Class fares from London Heathrow to Bali – starting at just £1,295 return!

Availability looks good throughout October and November 2019:

The trick to find the very best fares is to start with Google Flights to see a wide range of dates, and then use a site like Momondo or SkyScanner to see if any Online Travel Agencies are selling the flights cheaper than the standard rate.

By all accounts, Garuda offers an excellent Business Class product – there’s a great review of Business Class here and you can read more on the Garuda website here.

Unfortunately, it looks like the aircraft operating the route at the moment is an A330-200, featuring the old 2-2-2 Business Class layout. The good news is that a brand new A330-900 neo (with a 1-2-1 layout) is supposed to be taking over the route from 29th October. Given Garuda’s history with this route though, I’d take that with a pinch of salt…

As regards where to credit the flights, Garuda is a member of the SkyTeam alliance and has other partners too, so you’ve got lots of choice.

I would personally go for ANA Mileage Club I think, though KLM / Air France Flying Blue or Etihad Guest might be more popular choices. All three of them offer 125% of flown Miles, so you’d be looking at earning something like 20,000 Miles.

Garuda has been known to offer extremely generous Miles redemption promotions in the past, so you may even wish to consider crediting to GarudaMiles.
