Hello and welcome to my 2nd trip report. During the Eid-Ul-Fitr holiday, we decided to take a family vacation to Sumbawa and Moyo Island in NTT. The plan was to fly to Lombok, then take a ferry to Sumbawa and there take a small boat ride to Moyo Island
At Soekarno-Hatta
We arrived at Soekarno Hatta Airport at 6am. We then waited 30 minutes at the check in line to get our tickets (Lebaran holidays can cause quite the lines at airports)
My ticket
At gate 13
After going pass security we headed for our gate, Gate 13, not far from the security checkpoint
Our plane that will take us to Lombok, PK-GNF, a 2014-built 737-800. Next to our plane is Garuda's new 737 special Pokemon livery
Boarding
Soon it was time to board our flight, right next to us, the Pokemon plane was being prepared for its flight.
My seat (I swapped seats with my siblings to get the window seat) unfortunately, the inflight entertainment system of my seat was broken and unusable
pushback and take-off
Soon it was time for the plane to start its pushback
The International section of CGK Terminal 3 with a GA A330, 2 SV 777s and a QR and SQ A350. Terminal 3 is divided into 2 areas, International area and Domestic area.
We soon started our short taxi to RWY 25R
Take off
As we climbed away from Jakarta, I took a snapshot of CGK (And surprise myself at the massive size of Terminal 3)
Cruising/breakfast
Soon we reached our cruising altitude of around 10.000 meters and then breakfast was served
There were 2 meal options, I chose the yellow rice with rendang and vegetables, complimented by waffle cookies and mixed nuts
Descent/landing
We soon started our descent into Lombok Island
Landing at Lombok Airport
Taxiing to gate
Final shot of the plane
note: The flight time is not 30 minutes, more like 1 Hour and 3 Minutes, sorry for any confusion.
Looks like you have the DEP and ARR times wrong which explains why it's only showing a 30 min flight time. The OAG schedule shows GA 432 with a DEP of 0730 and scheduled ARR at 1030, whereas you've input DEP 0730 and ARR 0900 (so missing 1.5 hours somewhere). Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing this report! Other than broken IFE, GA offers a good domestic product for the flight length with a hot meal considering they only need to compete with LCCs.
I've never seen IU before, had to go look that one up^^ Interesting that Lion Group is starting another low cost carrier in Indonesia, wonder what their differentiator is from JT.
