• Hardly revolutionary. Few years ago I was whisked away on a business class bus from a B738 at CGK having arrived from PER. Hardly a flagship flight. And I think there were about a total of 6 pax in J and 30 in Y on that flight. Could easily have done one bus

  • I get why people are worried about no passport or whatever. I usually fly in cargo pants (not for this reason - mainly because it's easier at airports etc).
