Garuda Indonesia First Class from Jakarta to Amsterdam on Boeing 777 - EXCEPTIONAL

TURN ON THE SUBTITLES I took this once in a lifetime (at least for me!) flight on Garuda Indonesia First Class on their Boeing 777 from Jakarta, Indonesia to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The flight took 14.5 hours. I then took Turkish Airlines to Istanbul. This video shows both flights, as well as the connection experience in Amsterdam (which was at the Amsterdam VIP terminal) and some sightseeing in Istanbul like the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia.
I take epic trips and document as much as I can to bring you an objective view.
It was an exceptional trip from start to end. Garuda Indonesia provides limousine service in Jakarta, which picked me up from my hotel.
Upon arrival, I was escorted to check-in and through the security to the First Class lounge. There was only 2 people in First Class that day.
The flight was a night flight, departing Jakarta around 11pm, and landing in Amsterdam around 7am. One of the best part of this trip was the VIP service in Amsterdam Airport; Garuda pays for this service for you when you have a connecting flight. They pick you up from your plane with an Audi, and then drop you off at your next gate with an Audi. The lounge itself was superb.
After my 3 hour long layover in Amsterdam, I took Turkish Airlines to Istanbul. The flight was very short; only 2.5 hours, and the food was great.
I added some of best sightseeings in Istanbul to the video.
My videos will NOT be the usual trip reviews where only the flight/ride is shared. I will share as much about the whole experience that makes the trip unforgettable, and will hopefully inspire you along the way to take that trip!
