Have you ever travelled on an Indonesian ferry?
@harryw
I have just returned from a month in Indonesia. My trip included four Garuda fights and one with Lion, Wings and Air Asia. All on time and in new aircraft.
I also had two ferry trips. The first one a "charter". This turned out to be a 95ton wooden tub with no seats and only a tarp for cover. I was expecting the boat to be intercepted by the Australian coast guard looking for illegals. The second was with Pelni, the government owned shipping line. It arrived ten hours late. This was so overcrowded that even the life rafts were occupied. We had a first class cabin. After a while I ventured out. The corridors, stairs and decks were full of people. The doors on our deck were locked, just as well as to have opened them would have ment moving boxes piled to the roof.
Say all you want about Indonesian airlines but they are the only way to travel in "safety".
