I will be travelling business class in June on this aircraft from Jakarta to London and back as part of a flight from Australia and enjoyed a rare glimpse at this aircraft. Thanks
Great vid. I flew back to Gatwick with them in Economy on the inaugural flight on 8 Sept. I have to say their service is great and was pretty full. Flew back in Executive Class to Amsterdam in 6K. the cabin is so much more private in that section of business class. No amemity kit but delightful service.
Vinny Waymark Thanks for the comment mate! I have to say that the economy class was far from full on the flight to Gatwick. Difficult to say how many people there were in the economy, roughly between 50 and 100. The flight back (Lgw-Ams) was not full either, but considerably more people. On the way back I had no amenity kit either.
Reason why garuda landed in Gatwick is because they where waiting their slot at heathrow. While on waiting list their flight to London was already settled so they opted gatwick while waiting. The other reason why they don't have a direct flight from Jakarta to London is because a 777 fully loaded with fuel, passenger and cargo is too heavy for the indonesian tarmac, the outbound flight to London has a transit in singapore while the inbound flight is direct from london
Daniel-Chay Lacle Cheers mate! Since september last year they started this service, for more information of this service see following link www.garuda-indonesia.com/sa/en/news-and-events/news/non-stop-flight-jakarta-amsterdam.page
Great Review and Congratulation to Garuda Indonesia win World's Best Airlines Staff 2015 and also top 10 World's Best Business Class Airlines 2015. This proves everything.
I have a friend who regularly fly's between Amsterdam and Gatwick and return with Garuda, as they tend to be cheaper than Easyjet & BA, although they do have a habit of cancelling flights. He said that the onboard service is excellent, especially for a 45 minute flight.
I'm SO jealous the amenity kit was from l'Occitane en Provence; it's one of my favorite designers. Congratulations! Since there were so few passengers on this flight, it makes me wonder if it is even profitable for Garuda to have it?
+Clint Shepherd Thanks mate 😊 More people have asked that question. While I don't know if it's profitable for them they also make money with cargo. There were more passengers on the flight back though.
I love Asian carriers business/first class product. Very luxurious, but clean lines and sophisticated. I almost find Emirates and other gulf carriers to be a bit too opulent and gaudy.
Great review. I love Garuda Indonesia, it's a good airline. I can't wait to fly with their B777s if I get a chance! Have you tried flying on their Economy Class?
***** Thanks for your comment mate! I havn't flown economy with them. But I wouldnt hesitate to do so if I see a good offer from them on the Internet ;-)
Awesome!!! Thank you for uploading the video. I love flying Garuda Indonesia!!! I totally enjoyed your video. And Yes... I am so jealous that u gotta fly in its Executive Class. ^_^
They do but not the way you're thinking. 1) fuel is cheaper at Gatwick so they will buy as much fuel as possible at LGW due to to the cost at AMS - Some of the fuel will be used for the later longer flight to Indonesia i think. 2- It can carry huge amounts of cargo quickly - one hour flight
Yoel Febrian i think this is one of their business strategy to expand the airlines and to get known better and since their got a sponsor for Liverpool. because from southeast asia, the passengers prefer to use SQ or middle east airlines to fly to London.
Rafi Pramadio Thanks for your comment! The screens were on wit a general welcome message but there was no menu or flight progress information during the flight. The screens are controlled with the remote controller in the armrest. You can pull it out, it has a cord on it, and use it to control the IFE. I don't know if they also work as touchscreen, never tried it.
@Grumpy Cat as far as I know it is because Garuda didn't get the slot at Heathrow. so GA had to choose the Gatwick. they would prefer Heathrow instead of Gatwick, but yeah it's full.
***** yeah sadly that's the fact. and what I meant with 'full' actually GA didn't get the ideal slot regarding to their strategy. I assume that the available slot is not convenient for the connecting flight passenger.
I take it you used the GoPro for most of the flight? From reading all the coments, I know folks love the view. If only the GoPro had better sound, though. It sounds "boxed in." You don't get that nice surround sound like you do with the Sony. Panasonic also has terrific surround sound. I would really love it if you could record your videos in surround sound, because that just makes it sooo much better. I noticed you changed cameras here and there, because the sound changes so much. Thanks.
+AviationUpclose ...Window Seat fly`s Business Class, not First Class. But Business Class with Garuda Indonesia is better than most carriers First Class.
Very nice vid and very informative. I do the same trip in J-class later this week, is there Fast Track / Premium Lane available for Garuda passengers upon arrival at LGW? (I have a tight connection). Also, nice to find that there is an amenity kit present on this short leg.
727Bobster Thank you for your comment mate! I know there is a Fast Track lane when you are flying from Lgw to Ams. Therefore I think there is a FT lane upon arrival. I also think the amenity kit was placed onboard at Jakarta for the Jakarta-Amsterdam leg and that either there was no one sitting in the seat i sat or they didn't use it. Enjoy your flight!!!
No amenity kit available for the (very) short trip and no Fast Track for immigration upon arrival but I had Fast Track with BA for the connecting domestic flight after check in so made my connection:-)
Great review...I wonder why Malaysia don't use BAs lounge after all they are a part of One World and I know when Qatar start their service from AMS to DOH they will be using BAs lounge. Now this service beats BAs club europe service any day of the week...and KLMs ...probably a bit cheaper as well.
4:17 gotta love them overwing jetways. Only Schiphol still has them I believe. A shame Garuda is in such financial trouble. I guess it was inevitable with the current state of the industry
Wenhsiang Su Yeah, like I said the amenity kit was already on board. I don't know wheter they were put on board at Amsterdam or Jakarta, where the plane came from. On the way back there was no amenity kit.
Daniel-Chay Lacle Next flight will be beginning of may, maybe i'll do another flight before that (not sure yet).I'll do my best to upload at least a new flight report at the beginning of every month, starting in april.
I will be travelling business class in June on this aircraft from Jakarta to London and back as part of a flight from Australia and enjoyed a rare glimpse at this aircraft. Thanks
I've been flew with GA's 77W from Tokyo to Jakarta, and my favorite things about GA are immigration on board & the cabin crew, nice video btw ☺
Dean G Great man, I also loved the cabin crew!
Garuda Indonesia awesome.The cabin crews so friendly and the cabin so clean.Thanks for great video,
+M.ardi Irawan You are welcome mate 👍
Very nice, thank you for sharing. I agree with engine description, lol!!!
Very smooth landing 😱

Great flight report! Garuda Indonesia seems like a very nice airline.
Thanks for the upload!
Great landing. Proud to have Garuda as my national carrier. Thanks for choosing Garuda!
+Jonathan Hardjopranoto Thanks for your comment 😊
Woowww.... fascinating!!! A beautifully smooth landing,,,,, Great Job GARUDA!!....

Thanks for the info 👍
+Paul Renon hi. i was wondering if you can tell me why there is a 777 going from amsterdam to gatwick. it seems like too small of a flight for a 777
Enjoyed it! Never new that Garuda flew from Amsterdam to Gatwick!
Daniel-Chay Lacle Cheers mate! Since september last year they started this service, for more information of this service see following link www.garuda-indonesia.com/sa/en/news-and-events/news/non-stop-flight-jakarta-amsterdam.page

+Justin Hopkins technically emirates is an asian carrier :p
personally i prefer etihad over any airline
Nishit Agarwal Should have said East Asian, but yes.
The man that successfully lead Garuda Indonesia's "Quantum Leap" project now is in E-Commerce. :)
Very Smooth Landing! Good Flight Report. Nice to meet you. I'm From Indonesia! Greets! ;)

Great flight report! I was wondering whether GA really make money on this route?
Yoel Febrian Cheers mate! I really can't answer that one mate.
They do but not the way you're thinking.
1) fuel is cheaper at Gatwick so they will buy as much fuel as possible at LGW due to to the cost at AMS
- Some of the fuel will be used for the later longer flight to Indonesia i think.
2- It can carry huge amounts of cargo quickly
- one hour flight
Thank you for the info! I wish they do make money on this route even through cargo
Yoel Febrian i think this is one of their business strategy to expand the airlines and to get known better and since their got a sponsor for Liverpool. because from southeast asia, the passengers prefer to use SQ or middle east airlines to fly to London.
Cadd Pinterest yeah i agree! I believe GA will launch CGK-SIN-AMS soon
it must of been awesome being the only person in business class
Davide Colonna Yes it was, too bad it was a short flight.
Nice vid! Say, if the IFE digital screen welcomes you how come the controls don't work? I thought they were touch screen?
Rafi Pramadio Thanks for your comment! The screens were on wit a general welcome message but there was no menu or flight progress information during the flight. The screens are controlled with the remote controller in the armrest. You can pull it out, it has a cord on it, and use it to control the IFE. I don't know if they also work as touchscreen, never tried it.
Nice trip report! :)
Christopher Henriksson Cheers mate! :-)
Nice video, and nice flight!
@Grumpy Cat as far as I know it is because Garuda didn't get the slot at Heathrow.
so GA had to choose the Gatwick. they would prefer Heathrow instead of Gatwick, but yeah it's full.
***** yeah sadly that's the fact. and what I meant with 'full' actually GA didn't get the ideal slot regarding to their strategy. I assume that the available slot is not convenient for the connecting flight passenger.
Woowww... nice flight guys...
From this video, the air craft looks like far away from full...
I really wonder does it make money or not....hehe
Edi Kurniawan Thank you for your comment! The aircraft was indeed far from full...
nice video...absolutely breathtaking view from the lounge.GA is going to be among the leaders in the industry.btw,why do u call urself window seat?
+Hayden Lim Cheers mate 👍. If I fly I always try to take the window seat, hence the name :-)
great video! sad this route is'nt aviable anymore
Cheers mate 👍 Agree!
yep, i heard garuda now directly fly from Jakarta to London Heathrow :/
end of March 2016 there will be direct flights to London Heathrow transit at Singapore GA86 and return to Jakarta GA87 Nonstop
Nice video. And a very short take off. Not even half runway was used. The plane must have been very licht?
Cesar Rodriguez Thank you for your comment! Was a short takeoff run indeed, there were not alot of people on board.
smooth landing fantastic!
+Rezky Kurniansyah 👍
did you get a good service from GA cabin crew?
MrJET euro Yes I did, can't complain about the service!
Awesome video! What are you using to keep your go pro on the window? suction cup? or are you using the RX100?
AceMullac Thanks mate! I use a HAMA suction cup with a tripod adapter to mount the GoPro.
Awesome mate cheers! And you stick it to the window and flex it so it shows the engine and wing and also change the FOV if needed?
I take it you used the GoPro for most of the flight? From reading all the coments, I know folks love the view. If only the GoPro had better sound, though. It sounds "boxed in." You don't get that nice surround sound like you do with the Sony. Panasonic also has terrific surround sound.

Heather stubbs Thank you for your comment Heather.
Thanks for this excellent trip report and video....It was a nice choice :)))))))
+mabuse8306 Thanks my friend 👍 It was definately nice, but too short unfortunately :-)
+Window Seat Big ass engine! Lol. You're quite funny!
Nice video! hope you could do a quick seat tour next time.
+Mike Thompson Cheers mate! Next time I have the cabin for myself I will do it. Looking back it was a great opportunity for a seat tour...
Thanks for sharing, how did u mount the camera so perfect, did u use a tripod?
+R4 Kilimanjaro You are welcome mate. I mount my camera on a suction cup whick I stick on the window.
Wow , didn't know Garuda offers inner european routes , very nice.
Emmanuel Malek Since last year september Garuda offers this service. The flight is actually Jakarta to London with a stop in Amsterdam and back.
Awesome reoport!! Enjoyed very much :)
Flying with us Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed!
Nice video as always.
FRA SPOTTER Thank you mate :-)
I love your flight reports mate! It's just like I'm there flying along with you. Subscribed :)
Is AMS - LGW a normal route, or is a connecting flight?
dragonskiss86 Thanks for the comment and sub!
This flight starts in Jakarta and has Lgw as destination with a stop in Ams.
@@WindowSeatVideo how long was the flight?
Greeting from Indonesia, mate :)
AArdiansyah Cheers mate 👍
Window always be favorite seat when choose seat on plane
@window seat what did you use to edit the video?
baraka kautsar I used Windows Live Moviemaker for this video, I use Adobe Premiere Elements 13 now.
Very nice video ;), did you continue to Jakarta or you stopped at Gatwick?
Ale Cr Cheers mate! I stayed in London :-)
Window Seat,,,you must try flying with Garuda Indonesia first class from London to Jakarta sir 🙂
Garuda is a great plane
April 2016 garuda indonesia flight cgk-lhr via singapore and lhr-cgk is direct
+fredy setiawan 👍
Where do you get the money to go first class everywhere? Im jealous!
AviationUpclose Unfortunately I don't fly first class everywhere. But I get it from working ;-)
+AviationUpclose ...Window Seat fly`s Business Class, not First Class. But Business Class with Garuda Indonesia is better than most carriers First Class.
is food free with this class in lounge or did you pay? beautifoul video :D
+Marco Mandaliti Cheers mate! You don't need to pay for the food/drinks in the lounge.
30:24 oooh nice crew
Very nice vid and very informative. I do the same trip in J-class later this week, is there Fast Track / Premium Lane available for Garuda passengers upon arrival at LGW? (I have a tight connection).
Also, nice to find that there is an amenity kit present on this short leg.
727Bobster Thank you for your comment mate!
I know there is a Fast Track lane when you are flying from Lgw to Ams. Therefore I think there is a FT lane upon arrival.
I also think the amenity kit was placed onboard at Jakarta for the Jakarta-Amsterdam leg and that either there was no one sitting in the seat i sat or they didn't use it.
Enjoy your flight!!!
No amenity kit available for the (very) short trip and no Fast Track for immigration upon arrival but I had Fast Track with BA for the connecting domestic flight after check in so made my connection:-)
727Bobster Ok good to know, sorry for the wrong info. Glad you made your connecting flight.
Great video :)
airaction2257 Cheers mate :-)
Great review...I wonder why Malaysia don't use BAs lounge after all they are a part of One World and I know when Qatar start their service from AMS to DOH they will be using BAs lounge. Now this service beats BAs club europe service any day of the week...and KLMs ...probably a bit cheaper as well.
***** Thanks for your comment mate. I assume you will make a review of the BA lounge on the upcomming inaugural Qatar flight?
Window Seat Yes...I will video the lounge...I expect a good couple of hours in the lounge before I board :)
***** Ok man, looking forward to your review!
Is that an amenity kit they gave you on the short 30 min or so flight?
I think it had been left behind by a passenger on the Jakarta Amsterdam leg
4:17 gotta love them overwing jetways. Only Schiphol still has them I believe.
A shame Garuda is in such financial trouble. I guess it was inevitable with the current state of the industry
Intresting video, perhaps little long and could have benefited from tighter editing in my opinion.
Thanks for watching, appreciate your feedback 👍
Did you get to choose your own seat or nah?
CameronAdamsify During online booking I chose my seats.
How on earth did you get on this route and why is operating
Short haul with amenity kit??
Wenhsiang Su Yeah, like I said the amenity kit was already on board. I don't know wheter they were put on board at Amsterdam or Jakarta, where the plane came from. On the way back there was no amenity kit.
Now,garuda use Heathrow,not Gatwick again
Alvin Activities ::maaf setau syaa heatrow sama gatwick garuda ada,kalo ke heatrow dari CGK-SIN-LHR kalo gatwiknya CGK-LGW
Alvin Activities :kalo yg ke AMS sy gatau yg mana kesana antara yg Ke LGW atau LHR
+Crisna Yana Kalo ke AMS kayanya sekarang udh ga ada deh
I love garuda Indonesia...
becouse I am from Indonesia... Garuda Indonesia is the best world Airland and crow cabin in the worl..
Bahasa Inggrisnya , duuuuh ...... 😢
please improve your english before you explain about indonesia:)
Wordt er geen probleem van gemaakt als je met een zuignap je gopro op de window plakt?
+Luc Gruijters Tot nu toe heb ik er weinig problemen mee gehad, heel af en toe wil men weleens moeilijk doen maar meestal is het geen probleem.
+Window Seat oke thanks!
When is your next flight?
Daniel-Chay Lacle Next flight will be beginning of may, maybe i'll do another flight before that (not sure yet).I'll do my best to upload at least a new flight report at the beginning of every month, starting in april.
Yeah good idea.
ONLY HIM IN THE EXECUTIVE CLASS??!!
+Cynthia Bondad Like a Boss :-)
how many hour Amsterdam until London
It's less then 1 hour, around 50 minutes.
Ik zal proberen, zolang ik gebruik een andere luchtvaartmaatschappij voor een reis naar Indonesië, Garuda Indonesia gefeliciteerd
