Tell me about island-hopping in Indonesia
Now I'm back, I can report that I had very few problems. The gate staff did a good job of getting me exit row seats - for extra leg-room - when I asked, and the visa staff were professional. I did double check my visa after it had been stamped.
The only real transport incident was when we were on Komodo. One of the party collapsed on the boat. We had a doctor on board and the order to the captain was to get to the hospital on Flores FAST. He recovered fine.
