If you take a peek at this page, the answer should be obvious :-)

Garuda does not have a good reputation and here is an amusing thread about Garuda:
Garuda Indonesia Airlines - Shanghai Expat
Having said all that, they are usually and significantly cheaper than the competition. Being a cheapskate myself I have taken them on occasion for international flying.

life is too precious to let garuda take hold of it...
i would like to get a ticket to indo as well, do you guys know where i can get sheap tickets? (on cx)
It's not just unsafe. It's also quite an unpleasant experience. (Think, food, toilets not working etc etc). Not worth it - holidays are supposed to be fun. If you want discount, try Air Asia. I'm sure you can hop via KL on them for a cheap price.
Who cares about food in 4 hour flight if you can save few hundred dollars? I used Garuda few times before - can't complain. They even gave me a really nice business card holder with their logo!
You'd care if you ate it and then spent the rest of your holiday on the loo....
Jeeeezz... get yourself a McDonald burger before the flight... Seriously, like you never traveled before...
I had to fly on Garuda several years ago on, what they were happy to tell me, was a 'reconditioned' Boeing 747. To give you an idea of the age of the aircraft, it had netting instead of overhead luggage bins .
I would never do it again!
Although if you had to fly within Indonesia it is probably the best choice.
