I FINALLY Flew with GARUDA INDONESIA! | B777 Doha - Jakarta (Flight Review)

[@agung9613]

Finally i can see review GA route doha - jkt

[@farishbudiangga3017]

Wow, nice review! Even though I'm Indonesian, I have to admit that I wouldn't choose GA as my first option. I prefer SQ for international routes, but great for you if you want to try another Garuda Indonesia flight. I can recommend some great GA domestic flights with awesome landing views, such as Labuan Bajo and Manado.

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Thanks a lot! I have to say I love the Indo food, but for the whole 14hour flight from Europe-Indonesia I would also want a good infotainment system and therefore prefer QA/SIA/Emirates. Agreed Singapore Airlines is stellar, I just had a flight from SIN-CGK with the A350 (review online this month) and had one of the best experiences so far. Next week I fly to Labuan Bajo with Batik Airlines, so I'll experience the landing views there :)

[@sutobrot]

Thank you for flying Garuda Indonesia. Your choice matters

[@z6ngchi]

This is a video that I will follow on the DOH-CGK route using a Garuda Indonesia plane thank you for the video

[@vahrelhi105]

hello bro, your name is Adihardjo. Are your family from Indonesia?

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Yesss my grandfather is from Semarang, Java!

[@AzharAgil]

Nice information bro, but how about the baggage if fly with different plane with qodeshare ? Is the baggage automatic tranfer to final destination ?

[@nicky.adihardjo]

The bagage transfer is handled really well! They just seamlessly transfer it between Qatar & Garuda, so you don’t have to pick up your luggage in between. It’s a good partnership

[@justmeajah]

Honestly, as an Indonesian, I would never consider GA for an 8 hour flight like this. I mean, for this "flagship" route, they don't even bother to invest in a new IFE screen. Sad But then, seeing how empty the plane is, and considering the fact that QR is always busy with people connecting to all part of the world, this seems appealing to me hahaha. I love Economy Suite (whole row to myself) 😂

[@nicky.adihardjo]

I mean I don’t really cared about the IFE as I mostly tried to sleep during this night flight… That being said, the IFE was actually pretty OK, except for the lacking touchscreen. The remote thats in your armrest worked great tho! All be it a little outdated… Still it was a great experience with Garuda in Economy Suite😎

[@justmeajah]

@@nicky.adihardjo cheers!

[@Primasanto2011]

Garuda gak jadi kebanggaan lagi…..please somebody save Garuda from its poor poor management

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Food and service is still good tho!

[@mochamadfauzan8642]

ciri rakyat yg gak pernah bersyukur, masih tinggal disini banyak protes.. org luar sangat apresiasi lah ini beban negara sok kebangaan katanya

[@strollingaroundjogja6315]

Garuda should resume their international presence more than before. Anyway Great flight review. Keep going bro!

[@nicky.adihardjo]

I agree! They’re truly a good airline, especially in terms of the service

[@irinsaleh307]

I also choose codeshare flight from Madrid with Qatar and from Doha with Garuda Indonesia. Is there re-check in at the transit airport in Doha? And how to find out the Garuda gate in Doha when transiting?

[@nicky.adihardjo]

No, you just have to go trough the regular transit security at Doha airport. You find the gate on the information screens in the airport with your flight number. A big advantage is that Garuda is at the gate closer to the central terminal, so you don’t have to walk as far… (Doha Airport is huge)

[@irinsaleh307]

@@nicky.adihardjo Thanks for your information.

[@ilmanmuttaqin]

Or maybe less people known this kind of partnership? (Codesharing but operated also by Garuda) hmm interesting hahha

[@nicky.adihardjo]

You just get the different options when booking, its also literally the same price…

[@miekedegoed6717]

Nice video to watch with good info

[@deepalperera4592]

lucky you to visit cockpit

[@nicky.adihardjo]

You just have to ask! They’ll almost always happily invite you to the cockpit! I also had a chat with the captain and first officer, great crew from Garuda Indonesia!

[@deepalperera4592]

If its with SQ or MH zero chance

[@justmeajah]

​@@nicky.adihardjo really?!? Omg I've tried some time but they won't allow me

[@RonPremium]

Prefer fly with QR

[@nicky.adihardjo]

For the airplane age and infotainment: Yes. For the ambiance, food and service, Garuda is just more special. All in all Qatar Airways is the better airline, but it's nice to get the Garuda experience once in a while!

[@rsdtknqr]

are you Dutch, Nicky?

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Haha you think so?😝

[@rsdtknqr]

@@nicky.adihardjo yes i do :)

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Haha, yes I am! Im both Dutch and Indonesian, but living in the Netherlands :)

[@WildanTaqiyudin]

they choose to fly with qatar airways, their occupancy is always full even in business class

[@nicky.adihardjo]

I think a lot of people are unfamiliar with Garuda Indonesia, thats why Im happy to make a video of the airline and put it online for the world to see

[@dimitridima3148]

It's a quite new route though

[@foodandtravel6853]

Considering the really low load, and low demand. I wonder if the route will stay

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Indeed the travel load on this particular flight was very low… funny enough I encountered some Dutch people in the flight from Amsterdam to Doha who also flew from Doha to Jakarta with Qatar Airways… Meeting them back in Jakarta they told me that their plane was packed and almost no empty seats, whilst this Garuda flight had quite a lot of space still available

[@berkatitodavidmarchiano383]

Great ❤

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Thanks!

[@jaelynngranville]

i was on that plane!

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Cool! What did you think about the flight? Have you spotted yourself in the review?😝

[@adityadp6702]

actually Garuda should add flight schedules to KL, Bangkok, Hong Kong, etc. Rather than opening a new route that is low load passengers

[@WildanTaqiyudin]

idk why on this route garuda has so few load, even qatar airways is always almost full and qatar has 3 daily flights

[@adityadp6702]

@@WildanTaqiyudin I think because QR is 1 of a “transit” airlines who visit CGK bro. No wonder Qatar or other middle east airlines full. Most of the passengers final destination is not in the mid-east countries. Unless Garuda wants to open a new route in Europe with a transit in Doha / Dubai, maybe the load factor will be great.

[@nicky.adihardjo]

I think this route is not necessarily low load, but a lot of passengers just take the “easy” Qatar flight x 2 instead of Garuda…

[@ferrr007]

Hallo Nicky, ben jij alweer naar Indonesië? Groetjes Ferry

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Ik ga in september weer voor een maand! Ik vlieg dan waarschijnlijk met Lufthansa met de 747-8

[@ferrr007]

Broodjes waren erg droog, vondt jij dat ook?

[@nicky.adihardjo]

Neehoor! De broodjes waren helemaal prima, gelukkig ook met wat boter, peper en zout 😋
