That route has now also been cancelled and is currently replaced by London to Medan – a city which is neither the political, industrial or tourist capital of Indonesia. Since I took this flight the route was cancelled for a few months, only to be replaced by London to Bali direct. Prior to this Garuda had tried routing via Amsterdam, departing from Gatwick rather than Heathrow. This was due to the poor runway quality, meaning that a fully fueled 777 couldn’t take off from Jakarta. At the time when I took this flight Garuda was flying direct from London to Jakarta but flying indirect on the way back (stopping in Singapore). I’ve been sitting on this report for a while, wondering whether or not to publish it – more for the sake of posterity than anything else. Garuda is, with all the affection in the world, something of an oddball airline. Cost: £1600 LHR-CGK in Business, CGK-LHR in First.Frequent Flyer status during flight: None.
