Hello and welcome to my 2nd series of Flight Report
This series of report will describe about my report from Tokyo to Jakarta, on this journey i have 6 days-off to explore tokyo, shizouka and around
On this trip i'm using Garuda Indonesia due to the lower price, i got the return ticket for only IDR 5,300,000 (about USD 440) pretty cheap for a direct flight jakarta-tokyo. And this is also my 2nd trip using Garuda Indonesia. Here we go :
Flight Number : GA 875
Destination : Tokyo to Jakarta
Time : 11:10-17:30
Duration : 7h20m (Actual duration : 7h)
Airbus A330-300

I arrive at Tokyo-Haneda International airport at 9:45 a.m and as everybody knew, this airport is super clean, spotless, efficient, and also somehow relaxing. Here some look :

Then i explore the airport for just about 20 minutes, because the boarding time is 10:45 a.m. Boarding was smooth, because the queue line was clustered in terms of row, and i got the seat 35K

Well, luckily i got the latest generation of Airbus A330-300 with new AVOD, wider screen, and with the latest selection of movies, yet not as extensive as EK. But i really impressed with the screen, it really is flawless and responsive, even to me one of the best screen. And this is a huge changes from the previous AVOD generation.

There is also universal plug under the seat and also usb port on the screen.
Seat Pitch :
Plenty of legroom

The seat pocket content are mineral water, refreshing tissue, in-flight magazine, dfs magazine, etc. They also have wifi on-board with some charge.



After take-off the FA give some mixed peanuts, and drink choice, there are juices, wine, milk, water, etc. I choose apple juice as always :

The cabin was quite, because there is only 60% occupied with mostly japanese and somehow to me the new A330-300 generation provide much better experience than the previous one.
Time for toilet check :
Everything was on good condition, clean, and spotless. Well my only concern is that why there is no toothbrush on the kit ? But luckily when i come back again they already restock the tooth brush.
3 hours after take-off the FA prepare for the lunch, but unfortunately there is no choice for today. The choice was only japanese rice with mackerel with teriyaki sauce and vegetables.

Bun and soy sauce for noodle (the bun was excellent with red bean filling)

Soba

I have no idea what is it, but it is a kind of mushroom with beans but taste ok

Well, it's a very nice lunch but not as excellent as the inbound flight (cgk-hnd) and the portion was ok for me
I enjoy the rest of the flight by watching some movies and explore the inflight magazine.
1 hour before landing the FA give us ice cream and drink, this time i choose orange juice

Those ice cream is one of the best ice cream i ever tasted in my entire life, like seriously

At 17:10 our plane arrive at soekarno hatta, it is 20 minute faster than schedule time which is great !
Then i proceed to immigration and fortunately my baggage comes first.

Comments (4)

  • Great report! Fellow Indonesian here! Flew on GA 874 & 875 back in 2015. It was great.

    Shame they don't offer 2 lunch options, probably related to the occupancy? But i'm sure the lunch was great nevertheless

    Loving the AVOD, have yet to try one.

    Point of advice, might want to cover your names and all the ticket data

    • Thanks pokcay, glad to hear that

      My bad, i was forgot to hidden my name on boarding pass

      I'll fix soon and i still have 1 more fr (cgk-hnd flight)

  • Fellow Indonesian too! It is really nice to fly on a new generation plane, with a better IFE!

    Did they run out of meal options or was there only one option loaded in HND? I found that, in the past, they had two options and a menu card was given.

    • Unfortunately there is only one meal option, idk maybe due to low occupancy (?), but on the inbound flight (cgk-hnd) they provide 2 option which are japanese and western
