Garuda gives free kids fare to Bali

Garuda Indonesia is giving free kids fares to Bali. The free fares are for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years, who are traveling with an adult in either Business or Economy class.

Garuda is trying to jump start Bali tourism, and the price of hauling your kids from Australia to Bali is a major barrier to coming. With this barrier removed, we should see a lot more people. I think this is a smart move, as after the first few groups come and have a great time, their friends will follow.

Garuda’s move is aimed at the Australian market. The offer is for flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. Tickets must be booked and paid for by June 28, 2006. Travel dates must be between June 15 to July 31, an ideal time of the year.
