Review: Garuda Indonesia A330 Economy Class (DPS-CGK)
Garuda Indonesia flight details Garuda Indonesia, Indonesia’s state-owned flag carrier, is undoubtedly the most comfortable way to fly within the country.

Review: Singapore Airlines 777 First Class (CGK-SIN)
Singapore Airlines flight details To kick off my Indian Subcontinent Extraordinaire, I flew Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 777-300ER First Class from Jakarta to Singapore. Despite being a short sub-two-hour flight, the airline exclusively offers its long-haul product between the two cities.

Review: Batik Air A320 Business Class (HLP-DPS)
Batik Air flight details Batik Air is the premium subsidiary of the Indonesian low-cost carrier, Lion Air. Despite the downgrading changes in recent years, the airline still maintains the makings of most Asian full-service carriers; this includes frills like complimentary refreshments, inflight entertainment, and baggage allowance.

Review: Cathay Pacific A330 Business Class (HKG-CGK)
Cathay Pacific flight details After spending four days in Hong Kong, I flew back to Jakarta on Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330-300 Business Class again. Although the airline used to regularly roster its Boeing 777s and A350s on this route, this hasn’t been the case in a while. As such, because the flight features the same product as…
