Food Galore Over SYD, with GA as the Highlight...

[Dent@SUB]

That's quite a while until they really could take off...
The traffic quite busy that night...

Finally they took off.... and soon already in the air...

But wait... something strange in the sky outside the window...
Can someone notice that?









This light was keep following them....

Is that light in the dark night sky an UFO?

Is that a secret military aircraft?

Or missiles?

Or Alf's space ship?



Hahaha.... it was only a reflection of the dimmed cabin light on the window...


Now the light has been turn on brightly again...

And the plane already on the cruising altitude...

It's been quite a while since the last time this "kampung guy" flew with GA...

And he heard about a massive improvement of this airlines...

Now it was time to proof it... was that service really good?
Worth to talk about?

[Dent@SUB]

Welcome back!



UMD is correct and I received a personal tutorial on this from the guru himself...

Thanks mate...

I must enroll for the course with UMD as a sifu here...
He really got a lot of inside knowledge about GA...

Another TR by Dent@SUB

Some odd thing on GA's check in system was they couldn't issued the BPs of CGK-SYD sector from SUB...

I also found out the same thing, when I flew SUB-DPS-KIX on GA. I don't know if it was common around the world, but I think is about the passport, that the agent needs to check the passport on an international flight.

The ground staff then in the rush escorted this "kampung guy" and his nephew in eY into a van, and without waiting other J pax

Is that a J pax service or the facility for your late connection?
Really inspires me for a trip...

If the passport was the issue here, actually the check in staff at SUB could check our passport right away...
Still don't know about the reason behind this practice...

Really inspires me for a trip...

Usually that van for the whole J pax...
So usually me must wait for the other J pax boarded the van...
But at that time, just 3 of us in that van... and the van went straight away to the terminal building...

I have missed your TRs. Welcome back!

[Dent@SUB]

I have missed your TRs. Welcome back!

Thanks, Sir....
I have missed your TRs also...

[Dent@SUB]

After the plane was stable in the air, the FA approached each pax...
With a big smile and soft voice she talked to each pax...

"Selamat malam Tuan Blablabla… Apakah Anda mau makanan kecil sebelum beristirahat? (God evening Mr. Blablabla... Would you like to have some snacks before taking a rest?)"

Off course this "kampung guy" wanted the snacks... He has never rejected food that was offered to him...It would be a shame for him...

After the FA finished taking order, the cabin light slowly got dimmed...




And this "kampung guy" began browsing the IFE... Looking for some interesting movies...








He ended up with The King's Speech...


When the movie has just began, the FA came back with a plate of snack...

After placing the plate on the table, she smiled and said, "Selamat menikmati, Pak (Please enjoy, Sir...)"



It's a curry puff with tomato salsa as a condiment...
And it's quite good...

[Dent@SUB]

After finished with the snack, it's time for this "kampung guy" to visit the toilet again...
Now the L'Occitane amenities have been arranged in the place...



And this the other view of the toilet...

Please enjoy.... (the toilet)...






Finished brushing his teeth, he came back to the cabin...

Now the cabin was darker than before...
A suitable environment for sleeping...





Then he tucked in in his seat, and deployed it into a flat bed, and snoring...

In the middle of the night, he woke op... and adjust his seat in to a cradle position... while he did that, a FA came by, and asked him with a very soft voice if he want some snack and drink...
Nice one... the FAs really look after their pax...

Off course this "kampung guy" said yes... what else... do you really think this "kampung guy" will say no to snacks?

And then the FA came back with a basket of snacks and instant noodles cups...
This "kampung guy" chose some of them, and continues to watch the paused The King's Speech movie...




And then he felt to sleep again...
And he woke up just because the cabin light became brighter...

Ahhh... it was time for breakfast..

He rushly woke up, and went to the toilet again to brushed his teeth again...

Just before went back to his seat, he took some shoot of the middle galley...

[Dent@SUB]

And this "snack bar" was located between the mid galley and the forward cabin...




The cabin view on the full light...





Now it's time for breakfast...








The butter flower ex CGK always looks so pretty...
It's so pity that not from all port we can get this beautiful GA's signature butter flower, only ex CGK...

[Dent@SUB]

For the main dish, from three options of fried rice, omelet or pan cake, this "kampung guy" opted the first one...
And it turned out to be so delicious...
And the cucumber pickles and the whole chili were the highlight of this fried rice...







Not long after finished the delicious breakfast, captain came into the PA, and announced that they will begin to descent shortly, and explained the condition at SYD and thanked the pax for flying with GA...

Btw, seat row 2 is right behind the curvature of the nose section...
I believe row 1 got slightly tighter space then other row...
This picture shows us where the curvature section begin...




Lets we follow this "kampung guy" ' s plane to descent, flew through the clouds...
It's beautiful out there....

[Dent@SUB]

And then suddenly, city of Sydney came in the sight...
It's so beautiful...
Please enjoy it...

[Dent@SUB]

And then Mascot and Botany Bay came in the sight...
Now they were getting ready for landing...













Yaaaakkk..... touched down...








Now the plane turned around to the taxi way, taxied back to the terminal building...

[Dent@SUB]

Some nice views while they were taxiing to the terminal building...
Love those planes...

[Dent@SUB]

Ahhhh.... another GA from DPS has been arrived before them...
Love those GA blue livery....








Now they were already at the gate... and the aerobridge was ready to be attached on door 2...




FA blocked the eY section until all J pax disembarked the plane...

Just before this "kampung guy" disembarked, he just realized that he didn't have fast track card for SYD...
He asked the purser about the card...
The purser looked so surprised...
She said usually the card was given at the check in counter...
She tried to search may be there was same fast track card on board...
But then she came back with an apologetic face.... she apologized that she could not find one on board... and said sorry so many time to this "kampung guy"...
Oh well... the check in lady at CGK forgot to give them the cards, maybe she was in hurry when checking in them....

Without fast track card, immigration at SYD at this morning time took quite some time...

After cleared the immigration, their luggage already on the belt...

Because he brought some food for his nice there, he declared them to the custom officer...
With this self declare, they saved some time, because after that they could directly go through fast track channel, without queuing at the X-ray scanner...

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sydney...
Please enjoy your stay here...


What about this "kampung guy"?
What will he do in Sydney? Only for the ceremonial event?
Judging from his habit, that would be a lot of food will get involved here... I mean a lot...
