Hello My Dear Friends! In a TH-cam 1st - here is my full video of the new GARUDA INDONESIA First Class Suite! I had the great pleasure of experiencing this new product and service on a recent flight from Tokyo (NRT) to Jakarta (CGK). Special thanks to the crew of GA 885 - in particular, First Class Flight Attendant Ms. Sartika - who made sure my journey was exceptional. It is a great privilege to share the Garuda First Class product and service in a trip report here on my channel - I hope I can inspire you to try it because as you will see, it is AMAZING (both on the ground and in the air). Enjoy :) #Garuda #GarudaIndonesia #FirstClass
I just want to say that I'm so grateful for all of your generous comments here. It is so wonderful that so many of you have made the time to share your feedback with me! If this continues, then I may just have to make another video for you :-) Sending you my best wishes and warmest regards, David #Garuda #FirstClass
Hi, really appreciate with this positive experience about this video. I m doing qualitative research about Garuda Indonesia. May I contact you through email? I m working for Initiative Indonesia and we are having pitch about Garuda Indonesia. You can contact me through this email malta.nurdoa@id.initiative.com
Hello Mr. David It is indeed a pleasure knowing you enjoyed your flight experience, as a flight attendant of Garuda Indonesia it is an honor for us having our guest satisfied during their flight and even giving a really good feed back. Our greatest gratitude for your kind feedback. We hope to see you next time in the next flight :).
shandy marcy Hello Ms. Marcy (Shandy) and thank you for your nice words. I am glad you found my video - it was my pleasure to make it and share it here on TH-cam! Many people have written to me and told me that since watching my video, they are keen to experience the Garuda Indonesia First Class too! As you can see, I think the Garuda First Class is amazing and I am looking forward to experience it again sometime soon. Take care and my best wishes to you and your Flight Attendant colleagues.
I wanted to thank you for always treating the staff of your flights and places you go on your travels so kindly. Unfortunately these days many people treat flight attendants, restaurant staff, and others like second class citizens.
Wow, that looks like a truly world class first class service. I have been guilty of thinking that Garuda was a little like a local bus service, consistent but a little rough around the edges, I won't think that way again.
I've worked for airlines in the past. I love flying. I'd like to thank you for sharing your experiencies with everyone. Keep it up!! There's people like me out there, who really enjoy your videos. Greetings from Guatemala city, Guatemala, in Central America.
I read several flight report of Garuda Indonesia first class and it's all telling that is a superb service. It's great to see GA changing with their quantum leap plan and they are on progress to catch 5 star airline. GA just got The World's Best Airline Cabin Crew 2014 award from Skytrax. They also got 6th place for World's Best First Class Airline Seats as a new kid on the block. Thank you anyway for a very nice flight report..greetings from Jakarta Indonesia ^_^
Yes I agree - GA offers a superb First Class service! I am looking forward to do it again sometime :) I am glad you enjoyed my journey. Many greetings to you.
I was browsing how first class planes flight looked like and your channel came up. Over the past few weeks I've been addicted to this channel! It makes me feel confident and excited on going on planes! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
I'm an ex British Airways steward and your videos bring back happy memories - if only all our passengers were as courteous and kind as you. I've subscribed, I love all the detail and taking us through the product!
Oh that's wonderful - thank you so much for your kind words and I am really glad that I was able to bring back some nice memories for you :) See you on my next journey! take care, D
Sadly for us, Qantas has surpassed Garuda in recent 2016 Skytrax rating, kicked Garuda out from the top 10. www.worldairlineawards.com/awards/world_airline_rating.html Well done Qantas, greetings from Indonesia.
A first class flight for a first class guy. You are to be commended for creating a business that helps people. You are obviously very successful but yet seem so down to earth and friendly. I feel like I've known you for years. I really enjoy the videos.
For someone who likes the whole plane experience like me but don't have the money to fly first class, this channel is the closest thing to flying First Class. And was In-Flight entertainment system good? Keep up the great videos! I will always be there to watch them!
I ever go with this business class airlines and I was really surprised with what their served and services..I think this is the best airlines in Indonesia.
Nice man ! as an Indonesian i am proud of garuda and how it has improved, back then i thought that Garuda is just dead but then as time goes by i see progress and now i love Garuda !!!
I thoroughly enjoy the clarity in your clips, and the descriptions you give for those who strive to save enough for a flight in First Class or Business class, and for many even in Economy. And not only are you focused on the flight you also tell us what you do, and promote your products. AWESOME!!!
Hi there, David! Bagaimana kabarnya? I'm an Indonesian and still doing my master in Melbourne. I've seen most of your videos and they are all wonderful! Such a great job! Even this video, thank you and TERIMA KASIH for showing the exquisite service of GA to the world. FYI, I'm also a huge fan of Garuda Indonesia, too! Been flying with GA from Indonesia to Melbourne vice versa couples of time and they always provide a really nice service, especially their super friendly flight attendants. Makes me more proud being an Indonesian. Looking forward to seeing your next video in Garuda Indonesia or other flights! :)
hey! thanks for sharing your nice comment with me. I am glad you enjoyed my interpretation of the GA First Class experience. One of the most memorable first class flying journeys I have ever had. I wish you all the best with your studies. many greetings and kindest regards, David
This is the first time I have commented on one of your videos but I must say that this was a fantastic video! I have been watching your channel for a while and each video is better than the one before! Thank you for sharing your experiences with is all!
hey mate! Great that you decided to send me a comment - I really appreciate your feedback and I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoy my uploads. Do be sure to come back and share again next time. Until then, cheers :)
i really love to your report trip with First Class Garuda Indonesia..wow,, its so awesome and so details...love it...now, Garuda becomes a 5 star airlines by Skytrax..congratulations.
hello David, I just found your you tube site, oh I love your videos of the first class flights, hotels, the food, I was ,am in tears, literally, I get to travel and experience new foods, all the items you treat us to. I know I'll never be able to travel or to afford any of the items, but I get to enjoy every minute of traveling with ,through your life. it's so interesting and so fantastic, the menu information, the lobbies, the first class treatment by all and everyone you meet. Thank you so very much for your videos and all the wonderful world traveling I do with you. Keep up your videos. your friend, Rosie
Hello, of all your videos and this being the first on Garuda Indonesia, I wanted to compliment you on this first (no pun intended since you flew in First), and to also add that I think your presentation and the organization of it in this video may well be the standard that others should strive to meet or beat. All of your previous videos have been excellent, but what I liked about this one was the linear progression that it followed and the seemingly simple conversational manner in which you provided us with everything you took note of. I know Homer and Amandeuce do great work, too, but I think your entire series tops the list. As they say in the US Navy, BRAVO ZULU! or well done!
As soon as the aircraft gets to about one thousand feet airborne all my tensions and stuff just melt away regardless of weather or whatever. Love flying.
Thank you for sharing.. your video truly answered a lot of my question on how's Garuda Indonesia First Class services are. I believe Garuda has improved a lot. I am a Garuda Frequent Flyer, as well as SQ, Qatar and also Emirates. I must say, I am very happy and amazed on how Garuda is improving now. It is up there with the best airlines. And now I literally amazed with the level of service and experience they give on the First Class. Good job Garuda. And thank you for the most comprehensive video from you. You and your video are truly inspiring. Cheers to the great improvement and new friend!
hey! Yes, I was pretty amazed too - they sure are up there with the best these days. I'm grateful for your very generous words and it is heart warming to know that I may have inspired someone :) Take care my new friend - see you again. Cheers
jurigmalem Great! I really appreciate that and am grateful for your kind words. Do come back and visit me here on my channel another time. Until then, take care :)
Finally i got a review of first class on garuda indonesia (y)... I think Garuda Indonesia should be five star airlines...Very reccomended to try... Are you indonesia
Love your videos, I'm an aviation lover and really enjoy seeing your reviews on various airlines. Especially my home carrier air New Zealand!! Interesting to see Garuda step it up in First Class!!
+aeroAdvocate Oh yes, this certainly was one of my most memorable flight journeys :) A joy to experience GA's First Class product + service....one of the very best out there.
i'll be flying with GA to HND this december, not with first class/business class ofc..i'm a student haha (i couldn't even get the date i wanted, all flights are booked)...GA is pretty awesome with their selection of food (i've had a quite of food during flight from Sydney to Jakarta) the amenities sure are very decent; even the business class you'll get a bulgari pouch and l'occitane's products. i love aussie wines they have great wines imo. hope one day i can spoil myself with first class flights. cheers
that dop kit is dope :) and the caviar service, amazing. not even aeroflot of russia serves beluga caviar, or any kind of sturgeon caviar. kudos to geruda
Wow another amazing video! The attention to detail on the food side of things looked 100% , hope you keep flying and posting vids look forward to them :)
whizzkid thank you kind Sir - I'm pleased to read that you enjoyed this special journey, in particular the food (which was amazing!). See you again next time I go flying. Cheers mate.
That was one hell of a flight, absolutely incredible! It's great that you work very hard and you also reap the benefits. Your videos are all excellent. Huge congrats to Garuda too, your video will/has inspired and/or whet the appetite of many to sample such outstanding service! Well done on helping many with your product and I look forward to the next trip.
Nachito sanz what a lovely comment - thank you so much. I am grateful for your kind words and am so glad to know you enjoyed to watch this very special journey. See you on my next one. Until then, take good care, D
Hi! I love your videos! I found the channel today. I am having fun looking through them! I have flown first class before, but I am blown away by some of these flights. Can't wait for more, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Sam Bostwick Well I am so glad you found me and I very much appreciate your kind words. I sure look forward to you joining me on my next journeys. Cheers mate and my best to you.
hey! Always nice to hear from you - and you are always amongst the very first too :) Yes, they are a very different airline these days - truly world class. Many greetings
wow... great journey glad to know that you use garuda indonesia as your flight partner from your voice. i believe that you are a humble person. nice and so friendly. thanks for sharing, enough to make me jealous..LOL greeting from indonesia
Loved your music selection at the start. great pictures, lovely edit and top quality as always. Looks like you had lots of fun on what seems to be a great product offered by Garuda. I really enjoy your Videos as you get to the point, no bla bla bla, perfect detail, and again great you talk in your Videos . I believe nice things come to nice, hard working people, and you sir seem to be one. Best of luck and keep the videos, although time consuming to edit, coming!
What a lovely comment my friend - I really appreciate your kind words and how much effort you put into your feedback here. Oh yes...these vids take ages to put together, but its all worth it when people like you share like this. I look forward to see you again here on my channel. My best wishes to you.
excellent report. it's obvious you put a lot of effort and thought into your videos, and it shows, and then some! and garuda first class looks very much world class, congrats to this new airline, they are doing it right!
saya selalu bangga akan Garuda Indonesia; para awak kabinnya "orang" dan bisa bersikap alamiah layaknya manusia, bukan seperti awak-awak kabin perusahaan penerbangan tetangga yang memang begitu efektif dalam bekerja, namun bagaikan robot yang sudah diprogram agar demikian.
Hi there, just watch your video and wow it was indeed a wonderful video, am so thrilled to see that. Indeed Garuda Indonesia has changed their service into a more upscale service. Good job for them and thanks to you too, now we all know their latest services. Thank you and well done!!!
What a fantastic video, and thumbs up to Garuda for giving a true first class experience. This is well worth clicking the subscribe button haha. Looking forward to your next video!
thumbs up indeed - am glad you enjoyed my latest video and great to know you subbed too! Maybe I'll see you and more of your comments again here on my channel. Greetings and welcome.
Wow great detailed report! thanks for sharing this, inflightexpert . I'll be flying with Garuda Indonesia again next week after quite a long years of absence. Keep making great video review like this. Cheers!
This is a superb video that I totally enjoyed. I felt like I was experiencing it myself. What a nice Sunday afternoon treat. Thank you for sharing it and have a wonderful day!
Oh that's great - I'm delighted you spent your Sunday afternoon flying with me! Do come back and visit again soon. I appreciate your very nice comment. Greetings :)
This was a great video! I really like the fact that you take your time to make these videos for everyone to see, they are well done every time! You would be awesome in the position of working for an airline to help bring ideas and thoughts to the menu and planning of these flights! Thanks again! Greg
Hi :) I wanted to expand briefly on the compliment that I paid you last nite. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into these videos and they are truly enjoyable! I have flown business and 1st class several times from the US to Europe via Air France and Lufthansa and it is a life-altering experience. It makes an otherwise wretched experience (for me at least) somewhat bearable and even enjoyable. I enjoy your videos #1 for entertainment, but #2 to try and combat my extreme fear of flying. When you say “turn up the sound!” as you takeoff my hands shake and my palms literally start sweating!! You are doing everything perfectly with these videos. The editing is great. I love that we get to spend time in the lounge with you before boarding. I love that you show the menus on board (slowly, so we can read it!) and I think you do great with explaining the food. I love the focus on the food (I own a high-end cookware company after all!!). I like the longer videos because you can really experience the time on the plane. One thing I would ask however, since you seem like a great entrepreneur, is that you give us some insights to the *reasons* and lessons from your trips. What companies are you going to visit? Why? How does this fit in to your overall product/marketing. I know you can only tell us so much because you don't want to give away any strategic ideas, but you can be vague about it and still let us know. I think this would be fascinating! Mix some entrepreneurial info/advice in with your entertainment! I think it could make your videos even 20x better. Just an idea! Please keep doing your excellent work and thank you! :) Jeff
Yes - Garuda First Class is pretty special. I am grateful for your kind feedback and am really glad you loved my video. Thank you for your stopping by and sharing your comments with me :)
Good video and glad to see Garuda getting a good rap. I've flown them a few times and always had a good experience. I have flown Qantas, Japan, Malaysian and although not flown First Class ( i have business class) I always tell people Garuda are on par with the others. I have watched a lot of your video's and they are great and informative presentations. All the Best
I've just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it; great videos and reviews. I have never flown first class and have always wanted to and watching these has made that desire even stronger. Thank-you for taking so much time making these.
Martin Langford It is my great pleasure and I am so pleased to read that you enjoy coming on my various journeys with me. See you on my next journey - coming soon. Cheers, D
Your videos are always great. Very interesting and informative - especially for those of us who probably won't get the chance to experience first class! Always impressed by how polite and pleasant you are with the cabin crew! I'm sure they appreciate it.
You are very kind and I really appreciate you sharing your feedback with me. It is always nice when people notice details like this. Do come fly with me again next time! Greetings my friend.
I love your videos! They are so thorough and interesting. I love how you are so gracious to your listeners and the crew. I'm afraid of flying and find these very calming! Great job!
that's really lovely - I'm so grateful you wrote in to share that :-) You should feel safe when flying - especially if you are on the 777-300ER aircraft shown in this video! Take care and many Greetings to you.
Hi there. A very awesome review, as usual. i always enjoy your reviews. This particular review is truly an eye opener for me for Garuda as a serious contender in the premium class, which i never considered in the past. keep up the great work and i look forward for more to come.
lol - well I sure hope I didn't distract you from doing your job! It is nice to know people like you like to follow my journeys - and thank you once again for your very kind words here on my channel. Take care and see you next time. Many greetings.
What a lovely video! Great explanations of everything and you have such a nice speaking voice. I've never flown Garuda, but I certainly want to now. Yes! The ground crew at Narita always waves good bye. I love that. Your Japanese was pretty well done too. And can I just say, thank you for having manners. I've seen a few videos of business/first where the passenger doesn't so much as utter a "thank you" or anything to the flight attendants. Looking forward to more videos!
Zaikyou23 hello and thank you for taking the time to share your nice comment with me - much appreciated. So good to read that I have inspired you to fly with Garuda! It is wonderful - especially in First Class :) I wish I had more time to practice my Japanese - once upon a time I was actually much better. Do come fly with me again next time. Until then, take care (Ki o tsukete ne) :) My best.
Great report. Garuda has only just been invited to resume service to the US after a 14-year hiatus resulting from a FAA ratings downgrade. The international First Class product is clearly top notch. The catering is particularly impressive with the multiple menu options and the attention to fine details like the caviar service, Assuming Garuda opts to re-introduce the Bali HNL - LAX, or perhaps Bali - LAX direct, I am certain the B777 would be the aircraft used on the route.
thank you very much - I appreciate your kind words and am glad you took the time to share your thoughts with me :-) Yes, the food was very nice indeed. Greetings
You always go into so much detail man, i love it, love too how you a real engine lover too, love the sound of the GE90-115B's engine roaring on take off, an amazing sound. I a new subscriber and i must say you have an excellent channel. Your so lucky to fly on all the types of aircraft and very lucky to fly First class at times, i am envious of you man haha But Happy New Year and many safe travels in 2015. :)
Conor Mc Kernan what a great comment - the first one I read in 2015 on this vid! I appreciate your kind words and I sure hope you will enjoy what I have coming this year. Take care and my best wishes to you, cheers mate D. PS: Yes, I am a serious engine lover...especially those GE's on the 77W.
waow waow waow amazing Garuda Indonesia, i love to see your video Mr. i saw your all video when u trip, good service of Garuda Indonesia, that's why Garuda Indonesia is the Winner of The World’s Best Cabin Crew 2014 by SKYTRAX. when u come back to jakarta i wish we can meet and hangout here, see u soon Mr. Japanese. cheers
Another wonderful journey with you. Thanks again. Also I loved the cameo appearance of your RMs. My boot wear of choice also. Rarely leave home without them!
Nice - thank you my friend. Oh yes, RM Williams are the best shoes indeed - once you have had a pair of them, you'll never put anything else on your feet! Cheers, D
👏🏻 You've got yourself a new subscriber, mate! Have been watching your videos for this past days and I am loving it. Keep up the good work and the awesome videos and editing!👌🏻😊 Greetings from Norway!

Wow, that looks like a truly world class first class service. I have been guilty of thinking that Garuda was a little like a local bus service, consistent but a little rough around the edges, I won't think that way again.
bs2502 hi there! Yes, Garuda is truly world class - especially in First. Cheers mate.
Beautiful service! I must say I am more impressed with Garuda now than BA, SQ or CX! Fantatstic service!
+vsstud Oh yes, such a memorable flight with Garuda Indonesia....
Wow... What a flight! Good foods, good service, lot of amenities. Cant complain about it. Thx for sharing

Subscribed. Wow one of the best airline review I've seen so far. Thank you and great job!
salvanas702 nice - cheers mate I appreciate that and am glad you enjoyed. This was an epic flight that I will long remember.....
Your trip reports are the best on TH-cam, very informative and great filming. Top job!
lol - I'm not sure about that :-) though I do very much appreciate your kind words and nice feedback. Cheers mate.
Love your videos, I'm an aviation lover and really enjoy seeing your reviews on various airlines. Especially my home carrier air New Zealand!! Interesting to see Garuda step it up in First Class!!
This looks fantastic. Surprisingly considering it's Garuda but they must have improved a lot especially since joining SkyTeam.
+aeroAdvocate Oh yes, this certainly was one of my most memorable flight journeys :) A joy to experience GA's First Class product + service....one of the very best out there.
i'll be flying with GA to HND this december, not with first class/business class ofc..i'm a student haha (i couldn't even get the date i wanted, all flights are booked)...GA is pretty awesome with their selection of food (i've had a quite of food during flight from Sydney to Jakarta) the amenities sure are very decent; even the business class you'll get a bulgari pouch and l'occitane's products. i love aussie wines they have great wines imo. hope one day i can spoil myself with first class flights. cheers
+Viony Tania I hope you can too - especially on GA because their First Class was definitely one of my most memorable flying experiences :))
that dop kit is dope :) and the caviar service, amazing. not even aeroflot of russia serves beluga caviar, or any kind of sturgeon caviar. kudos to geruda
Well done Garuda. I really hope they will fly to USA soon so I can visit my hometown in first class. ;)
Yeah me too - would love to fly this across to LAX :)
Wow another amazing video! The attention to detail on the food side of things looked 100% , hope you keep flying and posting vids look forward to them :)
whizzkid thank you kind Sir - I'm pleased to read that you enjoyed this special journey, in particular the food (which was amazing!). See you again next time I go flying. Cheers mate.
That was one hell of a flight, absolutely incredible! It's great that you work very hard and you also reap the benefits. Your videos are all excellent. Huge congrats to Garuda too, your video will/has inspired and/or whet the appetite of many to sample such outstanding service! Well done on helping many with your product and I look forward to the next trip.
Nachito sanz what a lovely comment - thank you so much. I am grateful for your kind words and am so glad to know you enjoyed to watch this very special journey. See you on my next one. Until then, take good care, D
inflightexpert I forgot to mention, your Japanese is brilliant....!
Hi! I love your videos! I found the channel today. I am having fun looking through them! I have flown first class before, but I am blown away by some of these flights. Can't wait for more, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Sam Bostwick Well I am so glad you found me and I very much appreciate your kind words. I sure look forward to you joining me on my next journeys. Cheers mate and my best to you.

Both are wonderful :)
OMG So much food!!! I wish some day I can experience such a luxury!
Really enjoy how you comment on the vidio! it was is an amazing flight!
Loved your music selection at the start. great pictures, lovely edit and top quality as always. Looks like you had lots of fun on what seems to be a great product offered by Garuda.
I really enjoy your Videos as you get to the point, no bla bla bla, perfect detail, and again great you talk in your Videos .
I believe nice things come to nice, hard working people, and you sir seem to be one. Best of luck and keep the videos, although time consuming to edit, coming!
What a lovely comment my friend - I really appreciate your kind words and how much effort you put into your feedback here. Oh yes...these vids take ages to put together, but its all worth it when people like you share like this. I look forward to see you again here on my channel. My best wishes to you.
excellent report. it's obvious you put a lot of effort and thought into your videos, and it shows, and then some! and garuda first class looks very much world class, congrats to this new airline, they are doing it right!
thanks again mate - yes, GA really is a global player with this new First Class product and service.
inflightexpert are they going to have A380's flying in their livery any time soon?
Excellent David. Well produced and entertaining. You make it feel we're actually flying with you.
thank you once again - I'm glad you liked this one too. Good to know I made you feel like you were right there too! Cheers my friend.
inflightexpert
Hope to see more wonderful first class flight reports soon. Any coming up David?
saya selalu bangga akan Garuda Indonesia; para awak kabinnya "orang" dan bisa bersikap alamiah layaknya manusia, bukan seperti awak-awak kabin perusahaan penerbangan tetangga yang memang begitu efektif dalam bekerja, namun bagaikan robot yang sudah diprogram agar demikian.
Hi there, just watch your video and wow it was indeed a wonderful video, am so thrilled to see that. Indeed Garuda Indonesia has changed their service into a more upscale service. Good job for them and thanks to you too, now we all know their latest services. Thank you and well done!!!
My pleasure - I am so glad you enjoyed my video and thank you for your kind comments :)
What a fantastic video, and thumbs up to Garuda for giving a true first class experience.
This is well worth clicking the subscribe button haha.
Looking forward to your next video!
thumbs up indeed - am glad you enjoyed my latest video and great to know you subbed too! Maybe I'll see you and more of your comments again here on my channel. Greetings and welcome.
Wow I am impressed. They really pay attention to details. Very good service and lovely cabin.
Indeed they do :) This was one of my most memorable flying journeys and I am glad you are impressed :)
Nice indeed, flying Garuda. I come from Perth and the service was adequate.
Wow great detailed report! thanks for sharing this, inflightexpert . I'll be flying with Garuda Indonesia again next week after quite a long years of absence. Keep making great video review like this. Cheers!
I'm addicted to your videos :)
mcgaugh57 lol - really?!? Well, I am glad you seem to enjoy my channel so much! Take care and I'll have something new for you real soon. Cheers, D
I have traveled quite a bit but had never heard of this airline. What a great 1st class service! Thanks for sharing.
ShamusII hi! It is always good to discover new things - I'm glad you enjoyed and hope that you may try this First Class product + service sometime :)
This is a superb video that I totally enjoyed. I felt like I was experiencing it myself. What a nice Sunday afternoon treat. Thank you for sharing it and have a wonderful day!
Oh that's great - I'm delighted you spent your Sunday afternoon flying with me! Do come back and visit again soon. I appreciate your very nice comment. Greetings :)
This was a great video! I really like the fact that you take your time to make these videos for everyone to see, they are well done every time! You would be awesome in the position of working for an airline to help bring ideas and thoughts to the menu and planning of these flights! Thanks again! Greg
Gregory Wells I'm glad you enjoy to fly with me Greg - cheers mate, my best to you. David
Hi :) I wanted to expand briefly on the compliment that I paid you last nite. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into these videos and they are truly enjoyable!
I have flown business and 1st class several times from the US to Europe via Air France and Lufthansa and it is a life-altering experience. It makes an otherwise wretched experience (for me at least) somewhat bearable and even enjoyable.
I enjoy your videos #1 for entertainment, but #2 to try and combat my extreme fear of flying. When you say “turn up the sound!” as you takeoff my hands shake and my palms literally start sweating!!
You are doing everything perfectly with these videos. The editing is great. I love that we get to spend time in the lounge with you before boarding. I love that you show the menus on board (slowly, so we can read it!) and I think you do great with explaining the food. I love the focus on the food (I own a high-end cookware company after all!!).
I like the longer videos because you can really experience the time on the plane.
One thing I would ask however, since you seem like a great entrepreneur, is that you give us some insights to the *reasons* and lessons from your trips. What companies are you going to visit? Why? How does this fit in to your overall product/marketing. I know you can only tell us so much because you don't want to give away any strategic ideas, but you can be vague about it and still let us know. I think this would be fascinating! Mix some entrepreneurial info/advice in with your entertainment! I think it could make your videos even 20x better. Just an idea!
Please keep doing your excellent work and thank you! :) Jeff
This 1st class really go's all the way of a 5 star restaurant....and hotel in one go....thx for the video ^^ loved it as always
Yes - Garuda First Class is pretty special. I am grateful for your kind feedback and am really glad you loved my video. Thank you for your stopping by and sharing your comments with me :)
Good video and glad to see Garuda getting a good rap. I've flown them a few times and always had a good experience. I have flown Qantas, Japan, Malaysian and although not flown First Class ( i have business class) I always tell people Garuda are on par with the others. I have watched a lot of your video's and they are great and informative presentations. All the Best
Michael Goodey thanks my friend - appreciate your kind words and am glad you enjoy my channel. My best to you too, cheers D
This first class looks like it has very good service.
Oh, the good old day.. pre-COVID-19. Thanks for the great memories of fine air travel.
Loved it...with some delay...! And the Kempinski Hotel in Jakarta?!! What was that!! Time to another first class video with Garuda, don't you think?
You're so lucky sir ! I'm getting so much excitement while watching your experience on this FIRST CLASS Garuda Indonesia :)
I've just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it; great videos and reviews. I have never flown first class and have always wanted to and watching these has made that desire even stronger. Thank-you for taking so much time making these.
Martin Langford It is my great pleasure and I am so pleased to read that you enjoy coming on my various journeys with me. See you on my next journey - coming soon. Cheers, D
thank you for sharing this beautiful video. good luck on your next trip
dFruitzig a my great pleasure - you are most welcome.
Your videos are always great. Very interesting and informative - especially for those of us who probably won't get the chance to experience first class! Always impressed by how polite and pleasant you are with the cabin crew! I'm sure they appreciate it.
You are very kind and I really appreciate you sharing your feedback with me. It is always nice when people notice details like this. Do come fly with me again next time! Greetings my friend.
I love your videos! They are so thorough and interesting. I love how you are so gracious to your listeners and the crew. I'm afraid of flying and find these very calming! Great job!
that's really lovely - I'm so grateful you wrote in to share that :-) You should feel safe when flying - especially if you are on the 777-300ER aircraft shown in this video! Take care and many Greetings to you.
Hi there. A very awesome review, as usual. i always enjoy your reviews. This particular review is truly an eye opener for me for Garuda as a serious contender in the premium class, which i never considered in the past.
keep up the great work and i look forward for more to come.
Ramesh Ruben Louis lol
Yay!! I got so excited when I saw this uploaded! I was at work and couldn't watch it so I couldn't wait to get home! You truely are the best channel ❤
lol - well I sure hope I didn't distract you from doing your job! It is nice to know people like you like to follow my journeys - and thank you once again for your very kind words here on my channel. Take care and see you next time. Many greetings.
Excellent upload yet again. Love watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
thank you my friend - good to know you enjoy to watch my journeys. See you on the next one...cheers, D
Do you know what happened to him? 😳
@@kimbellabella348 I think he just stopped making You Tube videos.
@@tobyabe Someone said he passed away from a plane accident
@@kimbellabella348 Oh wow I didn't know that 😟
Very classy airline and service!
The attention down to the tiniest detail in the dining experience is very impressive!
***** Agreed - amazing attention to detail in Garuda First Class.
What a lovely video! Great explanations of everything and you have such a nice speaking voice. I've never flown Garuda, but I certainly want to now. Yes! The ground crew at Narita always waves good bye. I love that. Your Japanese was pretty well done too. And can I just say, thank you for having manners. I've seen a few videos of business/first where the passenger doesn't so much as utter a "thank you" or anything to the flight attendants. Looking forward to more videos!
Zaikyou23 hello and thank you for taking the time to share your nice comment with me - much appreciated. So good to read that I have inspired you to fly with Garuda! It is wonderful - especially in First Class :) I wish I had more time to practice my Japanese - once upon a time I was actually much better. Do come fly with me again next time. Until then, take care (Ki o tsukete ne) :) My best.
Great report. Garuda has only just been invited to resume service to the US after a 14-year hiatus resulting from a FAA ratings downgrade. The international First Class product is clearly top notch. The catering is particularly impressive with the multiple menu options and the attention to fine details like the caviar service, Assuming Garuda opts to re-introduce the Bali HNL - LAX, or perhaps Bali - LAX direct, I am certain the B777 would be the aircraft used on the route.
Absolutely LOVE and enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for posting them! :)
+TheChefsCo.com Great, good to know that...my pleasure :)
So glad to watch your flight report, my friend.. And so envy you, because you had different meals from different nations.. Lovely..
thank you very much - I appreciate your kind words and am glad you took the time to share your thoughts with me :-) Yes, the food was very nice indeed. Greetings
love video good camera and good job love you guys enjoy
cheers thanks for that
I love your vids and it makes me want you to post more often
That's how you travel first class. Seconds and a bit of everything!!
So nice and elegant! Garuda, rocks!
agreed - GA rocks :)
I love the minimalist aesthetic of Asian carriers. Far more relaxing than the gold covered M.E. carriers.
+Justin Hopkins Me too - and thanks for your tip re Loewe ha ha
inflightexpert No problem lol. I look forward to watching more of your vids. Thanks :)
You always go into so much detail man, i love it, love too how you a real engine lover too, love the sound of the GE90-115B's engine roaring on take off, an amazing sound. I a new subscriber and i must say you have an excellent channel. Your so lucky to fly on all the types of aircraft and very lucky to fly First class at times, i am envious of you man haha But Happy New Year and many safe travels in 2015. :)
Conor Mc Kernan what a great comment - the first one I read in 2015 on this vid! I appreciate your kind words and I sure hope you will enjoy what I have coming this year. Take care and my best wishes to you, cheers mate D. PS: Yes, I am a serious engine lover...especially those GE's on the 77W.
inflightexpert You're more than welcome man. I have no doubt that i will enjoy your content that is to come. Best wishes David :)
Nice flight, wow i didn't expect that they serve you a caviar, that's a premium snack for sure.
