    The Economy Class seat on the newer Garuda Indonesia A330-300's are actually the Collins Aerospace Pinnacle seats (formerly known as the Rockwell Collins Pinnacle seats) until 2018 when Rockwell Collins was taken over by United Technologies Corporation (now a subsidiary of RTX Corporation) to form what we know today as Collins Aerospace.

      Oh really?! I thought of the Pinnacle as being more basic but it does look similar to the Meridian so that’s definitely possible. Are you sure of this or is that just a guess? Thanks for the info :D

      @@Aviation763 I'm really sure that those Economy Class seats on the Garuda Indonesia A330 are the Collins Aerospace Pinnacle seats. I searched information and details about the Pinnacle seat online, and other operators such as EVA Air and Thai Airways also use the product on their long-haul aircraft.

    I flew with Garuda from Sydney to Jakarta (and back) in December 2023 and January 2024 on the Airbus A330-300 (the airframe was identical). Both flights have the same Economy seat design as your flight, including spacious legroom (except for the broken tray table on the outbound flight 😑), and decent IFE selection. The cabin crew is fantastic on BOTH flights, but I had a great meal while flying to Jakarta - which was chicken with rice and vegetables and a delicious chocolate cake - though the breakfast was OK on the return trip. 👌
    Hearing that Garuda gave you a voucher as an apology for the long delay proves that the airline is improving - if not as good as before COVID - despite operational and financial difficulties. Though an overdue fleet renewal is years away, at least they are streets ahead of Qantas, whose reputation is at the level of the big supermarkets (except for ALDI, though I'm too loyal to Woolies because of their loyalty program!) 😅

    It has been years since i flew with Garuda on Perth-Jakarta route. I was lucky to get DC10, probably its last few flights. But given the choice for practicality, I would choose Qantas since it's the only airlne fly direct. Garuda stopped for transit at Denpasar while the alternative is a stop at Singapore with Singapore Airlines.

    The economy seats are the Safran Z300 i believe. Which can be found on many Long Haul Asian airline fleet like Philippine Airlines' A330,B77W and A350. China Eastern's B77W, and China Airlines' 77W.

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  2 місяці тому

      While its possible I dont think so in this case, as the Safran Z300 has a a few features that look different to this seat, with the most obvious one to me being the headrest, but I'm not an expert on seat models so I may be wrong. I think you're correct though that they are used on some of PALs aircraft and on China Easterns and China Airlines B77Ws

    I was very lucky to fly one of their A330s (PK-GHG) on a 46 minute hop CGK-YIA. I agree hat the color choice for the seats are quite... Ehh... Interesting and makes the cabin look old. Thankfully, they have changed the seat colors into a more vibrant blue on their refreshed 737s and the recently aquired second hand ones. Tho they still havent improved the key thing for long-haul travel, the IFE
