71. This flight was probably operated with a DC-10-30 with the two intermediate stops being Denpasar (DPS) and Honolulu (HNL). At least, that's the schedule Garuda was operating when I worked as the Director of Marketing for Mahalo Air with my office located at HNL.
Garuda was not known for their punctuality back in those days with regard to their transpacific flight schedules. Some days, their flight would not even show up at HNL. I remember walking by their ticket counter and seeing a crudely hand lettered sign which read: "No flight today. You try again tomorrow."
Meantime, safe travels
