Reading to writing
In your flight travel, the cabin crew will inform you during your flight safety step by step.
Please read it carefully.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome on board Garuda Indonesia. Before take-off, let us enlighten you
with these safety aspects of this aircraft. Please ensure that your seat is upright, your personal
video screen, tray table and footrest are folded away, and window blind is raised. Your seat belt is
fastened by inserting the metal loop into the buckle. To remove the belt, simply lift the metal
catch and remove the metal loop. Your seat belt should be fastened when the seat belt sign is
lit and whenever you are seated or asleep. Do not leave any cabin baggage at the emergency exits
or in the aisle. All cabin baggage should be securely kept in the compartment above you or
under the seat in front of you. Do take a moment to identify the emergency exits closest to
you. There are path lights along the aisle that will lead you to an emergency exit. For a water
landing, there is a life vest located beside or beneath your seat. Place it over your head and
bring the two straps together. Now tighten by pulling these straps. Only inflate your life vest
just before leaving the aircraft or inflate your life vest by blowing into the tubes. Pull away the
plugs to enable the emergency light. The light will automatically turn on when in water. To
attract attention, blow into the whistle. Should oxygen masks drop from the compartment,
pull the mask towards you to enable the flow of oxygen. Then cover your nose and mouth. Breath
normally and secure your own mask first, before assisting others. In your seat pocket there is a
safety instruction card. Please read carefully. Please ensure your mobile phone and all its
features are fully turned off while you are in this aircraft. Electronic devices such as laptops,
tablets, games, and music players are allowed after take-off. Thank you for attention. We wish
you an enjoyable flight with Garuda Indonesia.
