Flight: GA833 (SIN-CGK)
Airline: Garuda Indonesia
Aircraft: B737-800NG
Date: 17 June 2010
ETD: 18:40 SIN TIME (delayed to 19:20)
Terminal: 1
Gate: C35
After reading a few TRs on how good GA is, I finally got the chance to ride one myself. Believe it or not, this is only my 2nd time travelling with GA. The last time with GA was in 2000 from MEL-DPS-SIN-AMS & FRA-BKK-CGK-DPS-MEL and it was...errr...one of the most tiring and boring flights ever!! []
At 18:50, GA flight with registration PK-GML appeared
At 19:10, boarding commenced. GA's FAs were rushing because the flight was delayed
Firefly...flying back to Subang
Leg room is ok...not too tight, just nice for my height (5'9")
Flight was 100% full....I notice they were still using the old safety demo vid
View from outside the window
Welcome screen on my seat...nice touch!
Followed by Welcome Drink....i dont think SQ even offers this in Y class. Very nice touch by GA! Choice of Guava or OJ
Choice of in-seat reading materials. GA is getting serious in this dept, the Inflight DutyFree catalog is real thick
Flight departed and soon after, DINNER was served....curious what it looks like...hmmm
WOW...better than SQ!! Thumbs up. Even SQ cuts back on desert for regional flights under 2 hours. I'm really impressed with GA
DINNER for tonight:
Appetiser: Gado-gado Jakarta
Main Course: Indonesian Fried Noodles with black pepper beef
Desert: Sago with a hint of mango
Bread roll and butter
Choice of drinks (juice, softdrinks, beer, or wines)
Verdict: Quantity: 9.5/10, Quality: 8/10 (bread roll was a bit tough and cold), Taste: 9/10. WELL DONE
Approaching JKT.... Flight touched down at 19:45
