Following the re-commencement of Garuda Indonesia’s Denpasar-Hong Kong flight service on 2nd February 2009, the airline recently invited 6 major publications to visit and experience the island of Bali.
This visit included a journey of renewal with The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali whereby the delegation of media participants had the opportunity to discover the Nusa Dua enclave with a refreshing cycling tour to watch the beautiful sunrise followed by a healthy SuperfoodRx breakfast. After a full day of activities the group was encouraged to unwind with a rejuvenating spa treatment before turning in for good night’s sleep on the renowned Westin Heavenly Bed®.
Apart from enjoying Nusa Dua, the journalists were also introduced to Bali’s unique culture and watched a performance of the Fire Kecak Dance against a breathtaking sunset backdrop at Uluwatu Temple. The group also went on a snorkeling excursion for a glimpse of Lembongan Island’s rich marine life and experienced the tranquil ambience of rural Ubud. The journalists, who were mostly first time visitors, were exposed to different culinary experiences and really got a taste for Bali and all that the island has to offer.
Garuda Indonesia's Denpasar - Hong Kong route is served by 4 flights a week using Boeing 737-800 Next Generation (NG) with a seating capacity for 156 passengers (12 seats in business class and 144 seats in economy class).
From Denpasar, GA-856 departs for Hong Kong at 09.50 local time and arrives at its destination at 14.35 local time. Meanwhile on the return service, GA-857 leaves Hong Kong for Surabaya at 15.35 local time and finally arriving in Denpasar at 20.20 local time.
Garuda Indonesia's inaugural flight from Denpasar to Hong Kong was symbolically launched at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali by Garuda Indonesia's EVP Finance, Eddy Porwanto, on Monday, 2nd February 2009.
Being the only Westin branded property in Indonesia since December 2003, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali enjoys a prime beachfront location in the exclusive Nusa Dua enclave on Bali’s southern tip with 346 cozy rooms complete with the re-known Heavenly® bed; a place where you can be at your best and experience total renewal.
