Waaaaay back in 1980 I flew from Sydney to Jakarta with Garuda via Denpasar on one of their DC-10s -GIB (sorry, I can't remember the Indonesian prefix just at the moment). I remember that just after the plane took off from Denpasar on the Jakarta leg I got my first whiff of clove cigarettes as passengers had restocked during the stopover.... of course this was in the days when smoking was allowed on planes. I still LOVE that smell!! I also remember that the Denpasar-Jakarta leg was quite light on for passengers and those of us in the back cabin were moved into the middle one "for weight balance reasons". I took that as being code for "the flight attendants couldn't be bothered pushing those trollies all the way back there just for a few passengers". I could be wrong.
