Hi there,
This trip was actually completed in Feb'2011 (during CNY break)...but I haven't got the time to post it here. I've always been curious about GA's med to long haul flight service, and since I got a very good deal of S$750 return for my SIN-SYD flight via CGK in Y class, it didnt take me long to decide.
Anyway, let's start the journey.
Route: SIN-CGK-SYD
Flight: GA0833, connect to GA0712
ETD/ATD: 18.30/18.42 & 21.50/21.52
Aircraft: B737-800NG & A330-200
It was in early Feb, so GA was still operating out of T1 in Changi.
That's my ride to CGK
Sandwiched by B747 JAL on the left
And another B767 JAL on the right
Boarding proceeded smoothly...a variety of local SG and Indonesian newspaper was offered at the entrance of the plane
The signature "Garuda Greeting" was offered by the crew upon entering the plane, which is very nice indeed. However, considering my shy nature to take a photo of the crew while performing that "greeting", I guess you guys can only imagine for now.
As usual, a welcome juice was offered...the choice was Guava or OJ.
Soon after, the flight taxied to the runway
The crew started the meal service. Despite the short flight duration, the crew managed to deliver a professional and attentive service on board this flight. I could start smelling the delicious aroma of the food...wonder what it would be...
Double meat combo for all! Yes...my first time getting a Y class meal with 2 types of meat in the dish: chicken curry and beef rendang with coconut milk infused rice. Absolutely delicious although the beef rendang might look a bit on the dry side. The meal was complemented by Japanese style coleslaw and Strawberry mousse cake with pistachios cream. I thought the cake was very light and nice.
Flight was full....after the meal service, crew member walked down the aisle with immigration card.
GA is definitely serious in revamping its hardware offerings. The IFE content (while no match to Krisflyer) is definitely more than enough for this short flight.
Flight landed smoothly in Jakarta and it was on time too.
...TO BE CONTINUED
