AFTER successfully holding the Garuda Indonesia Online Travel Fair (GOTF) in March, Garuda Indonesia again gave service users the opportunity to get the best ticket prices through the GOTF April event which is the second phase of this year which will be held online on 27 April-2 May 2021 and will be fully supported by BNI.
According to the President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra said that not only Garuda Indonesia flight tickets, travel fairs conducted through official Garuda Indonesia digital channels such as Fly Garuda mobile application and Garuda Indonesia website also collaborate with other partners to offer attractive travelling products such as: Packages & Hotel, Shopping & Experience, Travel Insurance, and various other additional benefits.
“The implementation of GOTF is a manifestation of company commitment to continue to actively participate in supporting the recovery of the national economy, especially from the tourism sector, by providing various special and attractive offers for all Indonesians who will plan flights to various national leading tourist destinations,” he said.
Irfan explained, in the middle of this new habit adaptation period, the needs of flight planning by the community are often carried out as early as possible, including to ensure travel readiness and needs can be met properly. Therefore, we hope that the presence of GOTF Phase 2 can provide added value for those who plan to travel far in advance, such as through a wide selection of flight tickets and domestic travel travel packages with attractive offers, one of which is presenting flight ticket discounts up to 86%.
He added that the implementation of the online travel fair is also in line with Garuda Indonesia’s commitment in the new era of normality to provide healthy flight services as well as the company’s efforts to provide seamless digital experience services. This is in accordance with the Company’s commitment to the implementation of health protocols that are carried out consistently, especially through the application of physical distancing, which is the main concern of providing flight services at Garuda Indonesia.
“The travel period for the GOTF ticket discount promo that we present this time runs from 18 May 2021 to 31 March 2022 so we hope that with this longer travel period, service users can more freely choose flight schedules that suit their travel needs,” Irfan noted.
This collaboration between Garuda Indonesia and BNI for GOTF is the third time in organizing GOTF. And in GOTF April Phase 2, the focus is on various domestic routes, such as Denpasar, Labuan Bajo, Lombok, Yogyakarta, Medan, Surabaya, Manado and Banyuwangi.
“With the offers provided by loyal customers of Garuda Indonesia, they can get the best prices, including: (1). Jakarta-Lombok (return) IDR940,000, (2). Jakarta-Yogyakarta (return) IDR640,000 (3). Jakarta-Banyuwangi (return) IDR890,000, (4). Jakarta-Surabaya (return) IDR740,000, (5). Jakarta-Denpasar (return) IDR890,000 (6). Jakarta-Labuan Bajo (return) IDR1.3 million, (7). Jakarta-Manado (return) Rp. 1.9 million,” he pointed out.
Meanwhile, the President Director of BNI, Royke Tumilaar, said that it is in line with Garuda Indonesia’s commitment to implementing health protocols that are carried out continuously by Garuda Indonesia, as well as through its various supports for pandemic management policies towards the Government.
“The timing of travel is the right step, especially when the government is currently limiting people’s travel to reduce the spread of COVID-19. So, the implementation of GOTF April 2021 which is fully supported by BNI allows customers to plan vacation time in advance with the best prices and the flight period until March 2022,” he remarked.
He added that even this April GOTF gave priority to its customers to get the best price early. Where, on April 26, 2021, GOTF was opened early specifically for Customers and Visa Infinite Credit Cardholders, BNI Debit Emerald Cards, Garuda BNI Co Brand Credit Cards and BNI Garuda Co Brand Debit Cards.
“Only after that, from 27 April to 2 May 2021 it was opened to the public. Even though it is open to the public, customers and BNI Cardholders will get additional discounts of up to IDR2.5 million and other benefits such as saving up to 75% with BNI Rewards Points and 0% installment facilities for up to 12 months,” Royke concluded.
