Transiting Jakarta? Check your Garuda times

[ChrisM]

Not going until next April, transiting through Jakarta as Scoot does not fly the days we need. Have not yet booked Garuda but they changed the Jakarta - MDC departure from 10:45 am to 2:45 am (!) and the MDC - Jakarta departure from 3:55 pm to 7:55 am. As of now still works with our schedule as I baked in a little wiggle room but hopefully don't have to do any flight juggling later

Probably less likey to fly into a mountain in the daytime?

No. Compared to Garuda

Cannot be worst than this:

The plane caught fire, the captain and crew fled, ignoring the panicked passengers | Game8z

On July 21, a plane of a Spanish airline was about to take off when it suddenly caught fire. Upon receiving information, the captain and crew escaped first,

Only one of the crew was left behind and performed his/her duty.

Sorry, of course my question was not too serious. But how to compare the extreme small chances that you die in an accident with a Lion flight to the maybe a tiny bit less probability you die on a Garuda flight?

Why can’t people just answer a serious question. I’m surprised as usually this board is of the more helpful variety
