CX seats are manufactured by Zodiac Cirrus which were first rolled out by US Airways on its A332. These new GA seats were introduced by QR on its 787 and A350 and then CI as well for its 77W. I am also looking forward to learning whether GA will confirm its A350 or 787 order at the airshow in Singapore.

I did post it on the MAS A333 new business class thread in a response to a comparison of all the Business Class seats by all MAS competitors in the region but I could not find it there after I posted it. It seemed it has been deleted. Thus, I re-post again. Sorry if this has caused confusion.

Garuda has rolled out its newest A333, PK-GPZ with new super diamond business class seats and new economy seats on January 30th, 2016. Business class now has 24 seats in a 1 - 2 - 1 reverse herringbone direct aisle access configurations. Pictures can be seen here. Garuda seems to continues to improve its hard products. With these new seats, Garuda probably has one of the most comfortable A333 around. Garuda is using its A333 mostly for the medium haul flights out of CGK and DPS to AUS, CHN, JPN, and KOR.

GA rolled out its new A333 with B/E Super Diamond Business Class seats yesterday in Jakarta with 26 seats in a 1 - 2 - 1 reverse herringbone configuration. New Y class seats were also rolled out. Pictures can be seen here.

Lately, GA has been very good in term of response time. The last email I wrote to them, I got a reply back in 2 days. I totally agree with you I had flown them F to NRT and back and I experienced the true romance of flying. There is no better F experience than the GA F experience now. CGK is indeed hindering the growth of GA due to lack of apron space to park the aircraft. Hopefully, the new T3 ultimate terminal now under construction can help solve the problem.

Apparently, MS has decided to downgrade KUL to 3x weekly on A332 and not to tag on to CGK from KUL anymore. CGK flight will still be starting on Dec 14, 2013 but will now be served via BKK with its B77W.

Here are the specifications of the active runway and the 3 taxiways : 1 Runway : 3,750m x 60m 1 Taxiway : 3,750m x 30m 2 Taxiway : 2,000m x 30m Apron size is 200,000 m2

No pre-packed sandwiches but hot meal on its flight to BPN. Looks good based on this Trip Report on Indoflyer.net http://www.indoflyer.net/forum/tm.asp?m=649344 There seems to be some details to work out still but if maintained at this level, Batik Air is seriously giving GA a run for its money. It is good to have a good competition to GA in the Indonesian domestic market.

There is a door on GA's new F. It is basically the same seat as the EY's OASIS suite from B/E Areospace which has 2 sided door. I really like the choice of the color schemes and the materials for both the F and the C seats. I think GA has got it right this time around. The decision to go for the Sogerma Soltys seats for C is a good one.

Yes, indeed he is quite humble and it really makes me proud to think that we actually graduated from the same junior high school around 7 years apart. Just wondering if I can achieve a sort of success that Rusdi has in 7 years time.

So, this is where Batik Air's kebaya uniform has gone to. It looks like Malindo is going to be the Malaysian equivalent of Batik Air or maybe it is the other away around now since Batik Air launch has been pushed back by Lion in Indonesia. Here is the link to Batik Air uniform launch back in 2012 :

The male uniform actually looks very similar in both design and color to the male uniform of Garuda. Dark grey suites with vest and blue shirt.

Indeed GA C has more room as GA only install 3 rows of flat bed (180 degree) C seats in the front cabin between door 1 and 2 and another 3 rows in the second cabin. Mind you GA's aircraft is A332 vs MH's A333. However, both GA and SQ only install 5 rows of lie flat C seats instead of 6 between door 1 and 2 on their A333.

It is a laminating floor in the galley similar to what 9W has on its A332 and B77W. Love this flooring type. Now, would MH install a bidet washer in the washroom? Some of the 9W's washroom actually has bidet washer.

So J is using the same RECARO seats as the ones Philippines Airlines is using for its B777. These seats recline up to only 165 degree instead of 170 degree if I am not mistaken. The seat pitch should be around 58 - 60. Looking at the one photo that shows the cabin control monitor, it does look like there is only 1 J cabin (in dark green color) between door 1 and 2 which means all 6 rows of J are placed in the front cabin. I agree the colors in Y looks very nice but not too sure about the blue colors in C.
