Having "Layers Cake" of SQ's Spacebed and GA's A332 J with a Cherry of SQT BBQ party

[Dent@SUB]

Third stop....

Toilet at the internet section.....


This toilet can be described as a small toilet with urinals....
But still a nice one...
Also with Molton Brown amenities...
















Overall, Qantas Lounge took the toilet matter very seriously....
And it was turned out to be a nice one for a J class facilities....

The Flight: GA713...




My GA713's gate was gate 34. And it was quite a walk from the lounge.
I left the lounge about 45 minutes before the STD.


And here some shoots around the gate....

























Some views from the window around the gate....












My ride to CGK, Madam PK-GPJ, from A332 clan....

[Dent@SUB]

Now I come to the dilemma part....
I took a lot (I mean really a lot) of seats' and IFE's pictures....
And between them, some pictures of the amenities features of the flight....
Should I put all the pictures here, or just choose the basics and informative one?
How I arrange all the pictures here???
Will anyone read it if I put all the pictures here???

So many question here....

Boarding was a little bit late, 15 minutes behind schedule.
No special announcement for J pax to board first.
But when the gate agent saw my BP colour from distance, she invited me to board first.

I was greeted by a senior purser at the door.

I remembered her from my CGK-SUB couple of months ago. We had a lengthy chat when she saw me took the cabin's and food's pictures at that flight.

She instantly remembered me. And she even remembered my name without seeing my BP... Nice...

She escorted me to my seat at 1A which was just right next to the door.

I asked her about the load.
She told me that the load that day quite light...
9 in J and 85 in Y.

I was offered for some juices and water for the welcome drink.
Maybe because it was an early morning flight, bubble was available if you requested it.

I choose the Martebe (Makisa dan Terong Belanda) Juice (passion fruit and tamarillo juice), the GA's signature drink.
And it was really delicious....

Sorry, I've sipped the drink before I remembered to take a picture of it...









And then the FA distributed an unisex amenity kits.
It was Aigner....
With Aigner's logo on one side and GA's logo on the other side...















And then the hot towel was distributed.
It was came with a plate, not just hand offered like SQ's... Nice...






The hand towel has a big GA's logo in the middle.... Nice small touch...

I have a bottle of homemade Martebe Juice (by my mother in-law) at home. Medanese knows very well how to make this juice as Medan or North Sumatera is where this juice originates from. The very first time Garuda introduced it last year, it was too sweet to my liking. It is good that GA has since reduced the sweetness. The one that I had 3 months back was just right.

I thought GA had the Aigner amenity kit for female that came in a cream colored bag. It could be that GA is just running it down to the last one as I know GA is already going to a L'Occitane kit for the AMS route.

GA's A330-200 safety card....













GA's magazines pack, and it's monthly....















Other international magazines were available. The FA was actively offering us those other magazines....





View from my window, the aerobridge....







Now we were ready to push back....

No one can beat Medanese for the Martebe...


About the Aigner kits, all were brown on that flight. Even the ladies got the same kits.
Maybe you are right about GA just want to clean up their last stock of Aigner kits...
Thanks for the info, UMD...

These some shoots from we taxied until we were airborne....

I was lucky to be on the right side of the aircraft to take the SYD international terminal's pictures

[Pinkfloyd]

Affirmative, Sirs......

Yeah, go on and be naughty... Bring it on! Great TR as usual!

The GA product looks lovely so far. I am CONSTANTLY amazed by the trip reports I see here. SQ are ditching all the little things, and Garuda is responding by ADDING them. If these trends continue, Garuda will be a superior carrier to SQ in terms of service, just need the long haul network to be a bit more extensive.

The Seat....



J cabin in GA's A332 was divided into two small cabins, separated by door no.2.

There's 3 rows in each sections.

The lay out and seat pitch was soooo great for J class seat....

I think pictures (a lot of pictures) will tell the story....


The mandatory leg's shoot ala SQFGtm....

At my window seat...





At the middle seat...







Cabin's views.....
