Review: Garuda Indonesia Business Class Lounge Bali

There are two sides to the Garuda Indonesia Lounge Bali: First class and Business Class. Our KLM business class tickets granted us access to the business class side and, to be frank, there really wasn’t much to it. The lounge felt quite old, out of date, but the staff was very pleasant and continued to embody the warm spirit we’d found so prevalent in Bali.  If there is one thing that really impacted me in regards to Bali was the spirit of the people. My goodness…it’s warm, authentic, and genuine. It made me reflect on how I interact with people, and how I can do better. That being said…the lounge isn’t really that great.

 

The food was in one main area and was pretty bare bones.

Seating is minimal and the Wifi was fairly terrible.

A small work center.

Overall:

If you carry a Priority Pass membership then I would suggest checking out the Premier lounge which is on the same level just down the hall. It’s much nicer in quality and options for food and drink. Ultimately, we didn’t have a whole lot of time to kill and we made use of a small area overlooking the terminal to rest and have a soda.
