I think I flew with Wings from Denpasar to Kupang on the way to Alor back in 2012. They seem to be OK.

We flew with Wings as part of our trip to Kupang and they were done. OK we have been on cleaner planes but they were totally fine , each one about 15 minutes late leaving , but they made up most of the time.They are better than LionAir but not as good as Garuda.
Sounds like a fun trip , have you been to Komodo Resort before Bill ?
If it's just for that , for a few more 100kIDR notes you may also ask your Flores driver to wear short red skirts and black stockings, providing you don't mind for his moustache.
day 1 : LBJ Ruteng, drive 4h may be not the best part, steep start then "cobweb" rice fields, eat mundane food at 6PM, dont get caught by the "hello mister" brigade otherwise you'd have to speak with kids waiting to improve their english for hours, sleep in a monastery at 8PM, clean rooms with aircon, wake up at 4AM with chantsActually I was wondering if you (and maybe others?) Can give me a little bit more detailed review of the 3 - 5 day driving trip. It does sound interesting. We could probably work out the time. Everyone who has done it: please tell me what it was like, Especially the accommodations, driving part, and food.
