Almost immediately, there was a problem they needed the manifest from the KLM flight in order to check me in. There was no line so I got assistance right away. I arrived on a KLM 777 from Kuala Lumpur about 6h before departure and went directly to the transfer counter for Garuda which was conveniently located on the way to the transit area. I wish reservations would have told me that two months beforehand…… I was able to send a message thru their website and got a reply with 24 h where it said that I wasn’t eligible for an advanced seat assignment due to my booking class. I was getting concerned now since I really didn’t want to get stuck in a middle seat, especially on a paid ticket.

I did do that about two weeks before departure and was told it was still not possible to assign seats on the flight. I called their call center in the US and was told to call back. I wasn’t able to reserve a seat but was able to look at the reservation thru the GA website. I booked this flight on Garuda’s website in May very soon after the flights were scheduled as 777s.

Garuda Indonesia has also changed a lot in the last few years and has started up a route to Europe after a long absence there. Finally on 24 June this year, Garuda took delivery of their first Boeing 777. A few years ago they converted the order to 777-300/ER and ordered four more. Garuda Indonesia first ordered six Boeing 777-200/ER on 25 June 1996 and then kept delaying delivery every few years.
