Dear Matthew,

Have fun! :) My company (indonesia specialised tour operator in germany)
always has the same problem. What we do is inquire directly to the
airlines trough our offices in Indonesia.

Use Sabre, that gives you more airlines.

SJ/JT/QZ/RI - CALL DIRECT
Gives you Garuda, Lion Air, Sriwijaya, Awair and Mandala
There are 10 more Indonesian Airlines not listed in this request, so if
you need special/more connections enquire an expert.

They just don't have a reliable schedule :)

It never does :)

Feel free to enquire...

No, we call and get a somehow reliable information. Internal CRS from
these airlines is open for reservation only 1-3months in advance, if
they have one (Merpati Nusantara, Garuda, Lionair and Mandala have
internal CRS, GT-Air and the many small airlines work trough
fax/phone/email only).
Domestic flights in Indonesia are somehow chaotic and don't follow int.
IATA standards for reservation etc. Tickets can even be handwritten
depending on the airline.
Best,
Oliver
