Garuda Indonesia customer review

(United Kingdom)

Back on the same plane as the LGW-AMS leg and in the same seat. Service was good and fast - polite cabin crew dressed in traditionally inspired uniform, seats decorated batik style and food was a choice between Indonesian or Western - with plenty of Bintang available. I was lucky and had three seats to myself. Crew didn't take away the spare pillows and blankets so I was left with a comfortable semi bed! Good range of international programming ranging from Chinese to Western to Indonesian on the VOD systems Enjoyable flight with this phoenix of an airline - strange to think it's gone from Indonesia airlines being banned in the EU to a 5 Star rated airline! Sandwiches and crips were available in the galley throughout the flight if you felt peckish - quite a nice touch!

Short and sweet flight but still high quality service from Garuda. Drink and snack (hot savory pastry and cake with bottle of water) for this 40 minute flight. Only annoyance was that despite the fact I was on the same plane for the AMS-CGK leg I had to get off with everything - only to reboard one hour later back to the same seat. Good introduction to Garuda though, left me keen for the next leg!

Garuda Indonesia customer review

(Indonesia)

Boeing 777 clean and spacious, 3-3-3 seat configuration. Friendly and polite flight attendants. Boarding at Jakarta was organized, old/disabled/family with young children got priority boarding. Entertainment excellent, feature films including some Indonesian titles. Screen a little non sensitive though, the Boeing 737 of Garuda had better touch screen. The downside of the flight was the food. The lavatory was clean and amenities well stocked. Wifi connection was onboard for a charge of 12 USD. Didn't try it.

Fantastic cabin crew who are more than happy to help. Our flight was 50 minutes (LGW-AMS) and I wish it was a lot longer! The seats are very comfortable, legroom is good and cabin interior feels bright and airy.

A month before, our flight GA-713, SYD to Denpasar was diverted to Jakarta instead of Denpasar without reason, there was no connecting flight to Denpasar that day so we were told we'd have to find accommodation in Jakarta at our own expense until the morning flight. Garuda did offer an alternative, they'd pay to put us on a domestic flight to Melbourne to connect with GA-719 so we took it. The flight was disgraceful, the cabin temp was hot and stuffy and even after multiple complaints by passengers the cabin crew did nothing about it. Service was slow, waiting over 30 minutes for someone to come was appalling, some passenger call lights were on the entire journey without ever being acknowledged. When the lunch service arrived the food was cold, the so called cold beverages were at room temperature. They ran out of ice 2 hours into the flight. The return flight GA-714 was an overnighter, we were kept at the gate for 20 minutes with no explanation. Being an overnighter most people wanted to sleep, for whatever reason they left the cabin lights on. For reasons beyond any comprehension they had a drinks service at 1am when most passengers were sleeping.

GA 330 CGK-SUB on 21st May 2015. Flying economy this time seat 35K. I arrived early and the boarding process was hassle-free although the gate was changed without prior notice. When I asked about the gate for my flight the officers looked confused stiff and uninterested. The sign in front of the boarding room did not even mention when the boarding gate is going to be opened so I had to wait outside. Flight was delayed for a good 30 minutes. The boarding was pretty plain and straightforward. There's this habit of GIA in assigning the passengers on the configuration of 1-0-1 leaving the middle seat empty until there is no aisle and window seats left which is a great thing in my opinion. The cabin crews looked tired. The snack was alright edible stone hard cookie alright bread with chicken filling mineral water and some fruit juice. The IFE was decent unfortunately though there's this buzzing noise every time the cabin crew do an announcement. Overall there is rooms for improvement.

I flew CGK-KNO last Christmas and returned 2 days past new year. The check in was smooth and quick because of the silver gff check in counter. But in the non-gff counter it was so crowded. The outbound flight was good even though a little bit delayed with attentive crew and a clean interior. Breakfast was ordinary with omelette and fried rice option. The inbound flight was not really delayed around 15-20 minutes late. An old 738 plane with landor livery. But as usual good and friendly crew although interior was a bit old and the lavatory isn't as clean as the newer ones. Overall Garuda is a great choice to fly with.

GA 331 SUB-CGK on 23rd May 2015. Different from the first leg this flight was extremely enjoyable. The check in was as smooth as melted butter. The boarding and departure was uneventful and on time. The cabin crews were attentive lively and polished. They gave me 2 pieces of bread which were delicious. The flight was practically empty so I had a row for myself I could lean back straighten my legs watching a movie while enjoying a cup of hot tea. Landed smoothly. I booked an economy class but they gave me a first class experience.

KUL-CGK-KUL (GA821/818). Flew last April on Economy with the entire family (2 kids and 2 adults). Check-in was brief and smooth. As we boarded the plane we were greeted with friendly smiles by the flight attendants. They were helpful with the kids and carry-on bags. The two kids were given toys (a stuffed animal and a car) which is a rare offerings these days especially on a short haul flight. Seats and catering were very good. We can say the same for the in-flight entertainment cabin ambience and cleanliness. Overall we are pleased with the service and will fly with Garuda again!

Jakarta to Singapore GA 834. The airline has many new aircraft's and their on board service is good. However their on time departure schedule need vast improvement if they claim to be a 5 star airline. I travel often between Singapore-Jakarta or Jakarta-Singapore sector. Most of the time (about 90%) the airline schedule departure time is not met and delayed. Secondly their public announcement in Jakarta airport is poor and unclear. Punctuality reflects how much one care for its valued passengers. Garuda is far behind in maintaining flight punctuality.
