There is basically top-notch ground service at all airports, and this “meet and greet” truly differentiates Garuda from the top tier airlines, like Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines, which really lack in ground service. I am happy to report that there is a “Personal assistance” service in Heathrow, which will bring you from check in to lounge, and then from lounge to gate. There had been news about a rather troublesome transition from Gatwick to Heathrow, especially the lack of Garuda Indonesia’s legendary “meet and greet” service. So I was somewhat happy to see a more direct routing with less transit time, but I prefer an earlier departure time. When I booked it, the routing was still London Gatwick to Singapore via Amsterdam and Jakarta, and the layover in Jakarta was quite long too.

I found a somewhat affordable fare from London Heathrow to Singapore via Jakarta. Garuda Indonesia First Class: Was it as “Good” as Five Stars? Almost… LHR-CGK-SINĪfter a flight with its business class from HKG to CGK earlier this year and a brilliant report written by Fly Roni ( ), I have decided to give its first class a try.
