Garuda question

Hello!

I have two questions about Garuda / domestic flights.
1. What is the service in economy class Denpasar - Manado? Hot meal? Snack?
2. What is the service in business class Lombok - Denpasar? In J / business class.

Thanks a lot!

Let me try to answer based on my experience with them:
1. For flights with more than 1.5 hours, they serve hot meal. DPS-MDC is roughly 2.5 hours, so yes, you will get hot meal.
2. LOP-DPS is only 20 min flight, so probably in J you will get some snacks/pastries served on fine chinaware.

Please note that there's no alcohol on domestic routes

Thanks! One more question. Do you prefer 6K or 7K in business class 737-800?

Garuda Indonesia always serves food on their flights. You can expect to get a hot meal on your DPS-MDC flight.


LOP-DPS is a very short flight I am sure they serve a snack box (containing a pastry, a cookie and water) in economy and maybe an upgraded version of this in business, but not sure. I do know that even on flights where they give out snack boxes (flights under 1,5hrs) they serve hot meals to J pax, technically LOP-DPS should fall into the same category but I don't see how this can happen on a 20 min flight.


By the way, the food on short domestic flights is pretty amazing on GA!

Did MDC-DPS recently in Y- hot meal, but it was spicy fishy things with rice which I found challenging for such an early flight.

But watched Shawshank Redemption for the 47th time! Take your own headphones - the freebies they give you on the 737's are poor.

Sorry I can't advise you for J, but on the DPS-LOP get a window seat on the left hand side. It's only 25 mins or so in the air.

For domestic business class, they do offer only one choice of alcohol, Bir Bintang.

I'm not fond of bulkhead seat so I always choose the second row. But basically, the seat pitch for both is quite similar, with the bulkhead one is slightly wider a little bit.
