Merapat ke bar di sisi kiri venue, saya mencoba white wine. Great taste!
Kami akhirnya duduk di sisi kanan venue, bergabung bersama undangan lainnya. Setiap tempat duduk sudah tersedia snack, same packaging as inflight did.

The fuselage. What the longest aircraft that i've ever seen!
The main door of PK-GIA. Please notice how to operate the door.
Our first step on Boeing 777-300ER. That would be unforgettable!
Greeted by Captain Hary, who commanded the ferry flight from Seattle (SEA) to Narita (NRT)
Let's visit the cockpit. And... this is it!
I must have a photobombing here :p
Before entering the First Class, Chef On Board Irwan Lander and Maitre d'Cabin Titien greeted warmly. We had a conversation about what a chef do onboard, and maitre d'cabin jobdesk.
The First Class seat and features.
The blanket, pillow, and the cover made from goose feathers.
The First Class comes in 1-2-1 configuration. Consists of 8 private seats.

Let's move to the New Executive Class (J Class)
Come with a new design, color, pattern, and a seatbelt that we usually use while driving a car.
This New J Class comes in 1-2-1 configuration.
Consists of 38 seats.
Let's feel how to be an Executive Class paxes for a while.
Now welcome to the Economy Class
Consists of 258 seats in 3-3-3 configuration.
In my opinion, the seat is now wider, and has a plenty of legroom.
No worry for your knees for a longhaul flight.
They also come in a new pattern. Not so different with the existing Economy seats in another aircrafts.
Now we're in the end of the cabin.
This is L5 door. This aircraft has 5 exits each side.
The Galley, quite wider than the A330s have.
Let's disembark and compare ourselves with this BIG aircraft.
The raked wingtip, ultimate design and special feature in Boeing 777-300ER.
We can also meet this stuff on Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental.
This is me and the engine. Biggest ever seen!
Hug the nosewheel, one of my tradition when I met my "special-emotional-attached" aircraft.
And, comparing our heights. Okay, GIA, you win it absolutely!
That's our end of the tour!
Decak kagum, rasa syukur, degup jantung, riak bulu roma, bayangan memori terus menerus seiring perjalanan pulang saya ke rumah.
Hadir dalam acara ini adalah suatu kesempatan yang belum pernah terpikirkan sama saya.
Suatu anugerah dari Tuhan untuk bisa merasakan ini semua dan menjadi bagian dari sebuah catatan sejarah maskapai penerbangan Indonesia.
Di akhir acara, kami diberikan bingkisan sebuah goodie bag First Class.
Isinya ada notebook, flashdisk, replika Boeing 737-800.
Terima kasih sudah membaca, semoga menyenangkan. See ya!
