We were about 2 and a half hours out from landing. There were two loud noises. It sounded like something was loose in the cargo area; and was banging around; as though cargo was unsecured. Then a shudder occurred. The Captain was asleep in the pilot bunk. The first officer called me on the interphone and asked me to wake the Captain. I woke him immediately. He said it felt like a compression failure had occurred. Unbeknown to me the engine had stalled. They then restarted the engine (number one). We continued without incident. No one was hurt or very concerned. After a very quiet landing; we noticed the runway was lined with emergency vehicles. The pilots informed us that the engine had stalled about five minutes before we landed; and they had [advised ATC]. No one in the cabin; passengers or cabin crew knew about it until then. All in all it was rather quiet and we were all fine. The pilots did an outstanding job.
A330 Flight Attendant reported landing safely after experiencing a compressor stall in the Number 1 engine.
