Luckily I can save a drafted post (with pictures!) even in flight mode. (Ssh, it took years for Google Drive to get there.) It's my first time in taking Garuda Indonesia, as I usually took Qantas or Singapore Airlines, and I'm quite pleased with their service so far. I also like how they provide both Indonesian and English throughout the flight. It helps with the language immersion.
Got shafted to a seat next to the window. I should've checked during check-in that my online request via a third-party for an aisle seat got through. Oh well, might as well take advantage of the lovely view of the Australian desert.
Got some chicken~ The dessert that came with it was lovely too!
Now using the entertainment system that provides the latest Indonesian pop songs amongst other things. Which is great! There's a restless baby in the row before me.
Even found a band that sings in both Japanese and Indonesian! Oh yeaaah. I foresee buying some CDs when I land... I need some new music to listen to whilst driving.
They also have immigration officers on board who can verify my Visa On Arrival (VOA) so I can skip the queue when I land. I got the VOA when I checked-in for 37 AUD (it's worth 35 USD [dunno if that's a permanent increase from 25 USD or temporary])
Also, I finally got offered candy before touchdown! Thank goodness for something to chew on to help prevent blocked ears. I'll be flying with Garuda again. Yup.

The fanciest McDonalds I've ever seen. Two storey building.
