You need to book travel by 12/31.
You can travel between 2/1 and 5/31.

Youmay also be required to go into a ticket office to confirm your tickets. In the US those are located in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and NYC.

I signed up for a mileage account here and got 200 miles instantly.Ā It didn’t let me register with a US address, so I entered an address in Israel.

You can print a copy of your membership card upon enrolling. You may need that in case you need to go into an office to complete ticketing.

Once enrolled you can search for award availability, though you can’t book the 90% off promo online.

Unfortunately Garuda does not have flights to the US.

-You can transfer points from Citi to Garuda, but it will take 2-3 days. Some agents will hold award flights for you.

You can buy up to 50K miles per year for 3 cents each, but you need to fill out a form to purchase them and it’s unclear how long that process will take or how to even complete the process. If you try purchasing miles please let us know how it goes!

You can calculate the normal award rates here and take off 90% with this promo.

First class one-way award rates:
-London/LHR to/from Singapore: Normally 190K miles, now 19K miles.

This brought a big smile. Looks very amusing…

Has this been verified? TPG was skeptical and looking into it.

I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way for me to book-is there any way for me to book if I don’t have Garuda miles? I see that a transfer takes a couple of days as well as purchasing, so it seems like I’m stuck. If I transfer Citi points and there is no more avail award space, can I transfer them back?
TIA

Dan

@J:
There’s a DDF report from someone who booked it and Garuda has confirmed it on Twitter and over the phone as well.

@israeli:
You’ll need to transfer from Citi and hope for the best.

Sam

Dan, are you booking anything yourself?

Dan

@Sam:
Toying with it.
If they flew to the US it would be a much easier decision.

israeli

so basically i’ll be stuck with Garuda miles lol
thinking about trying to buy miles and see if i get anywhere…i would love to do this

I could really use a map for this one…

JoeA

is it possible to transfer UR points?

J

@Dan, sounds good. What about this stuff? Seems like you need the card, ID and to visits a Garuda help desk. http://pointmetotheplane.boardingarea.com/2016/12/22/information-bad-news-garuda-indonesia-deal/

Ted

Is it true you have to visit a grauda ticket office by 12/31/16?

Dan

@JoeA:
No.

@J:
@Ted:
The offices are saying they don’t need the original card, so that’s not true.

There are now conflicting reports about holding award, going into an office, etc.

Call and see what they say for yourself before transferring.

MosheD

@Ted: Sure seems like it

I think if someone is doing this for relaxation, it might be more relaxing just not to bother! sounds a little complicated !

Any options from Israel ?

a good yeshiva bachur

aren’t they on sky team? why cant you book delta?

D

I don’t have an address outside the USA for the mileage account.
1. Can I use a relative/friend address
2. will they get any mail or other contact?

I must say Yashar Koach to this airline (and then people who actually get this deal after a bit of headache). They are getting amazing PR and because of the way they have structured it with the phone calls, points purchases and having to complete the purchase in a physical office they probably won’t get hosed and lose their shirt. A few intrepid people will get to actually use the awesome deal, enjoy their product and then they’ll write awesome TR’s and Garuda Indonesia will get more great PR! I’d barely heard of them and now realize that they have great routes and a product that looks to rival Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. Truly a brilliant marketing maneuver.

To ticket a reservation they say you must come in in-person, which is either Amsterdam or London. They have no ticket office in NY, and say that they cannot ticket it via phone. If have a reservation, how can this be ticketed in NY or in USA??

I finally got through to Jakarta call center and they said the promo ended early morning hours Indonesia time on 24 December. There goes all my hard work on my spreadsheet… šŸ™
