Jakarta Flights

Jakarta is the loud, busy, thriving capital of Indonesia and the most populous city in all of Southeast Asia. The city is an absolute melting pot of Asian cultures and is the political, economic, and cultural engine of this island country. Purchase a ticket to Jakarta to explore this up-and-coming tourist destination that has much to offer the eager traveller, including dozens of excellent museums, exquisite food, and a not-so-secret underground nightlife.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Jakarta is the Merdeka Square, which is considered one of the largest city squares in the world. Here you’ll find the massive 132-metre National Monument. Around the square you’ll also discover the presidential palace, the Istiqlal Mosque, and the National Museum of Indonesia. To really play tourist, head to the Ancol Bayfront City in North Jakarta, where you’ll find Dufan Fantasi theme park and plenty of enticing shopping malls, and some local art markets. Finally, if the noise of the city gets to be too much, escape to one of the small islands that sit just off shore. Many are known for their spectacular diving opportunities.

Best Times to Travel to Newark

Peak Season:

No matter what time of year you visit Jakarta, it’ll be hot and humid. Temperatures usually stay between 28 to 30 degrees Celsius year-round. Looking to avoid the rain? Consider visiting between August and September during dry season when humidity is at its lowest.

Shoulder Season:

If you can’t make it to Jakarta during peak season, then June and July represent the shoulder season when the days are still relatively dry, though the humidity can soar as high as 85 precent.

Off Season:

If you are looking for cheap flights to Jakarta, consider flying in between October and May, the country’s monsoon season. You’ll get plenty of rain, but the wet weather usually doesn’t last the whole day. Just take care; roads can sometimes wash out in lesser developed areas after a hard rain.

Jakarta Airport and Transfer Information

Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK)

Distance: 20 km northwest of city centre

All flights to Jakarta touch down at CGK. This huge airport features three terminals. A free shuttle takes passengers between terminals, but it can sometimes be unreliable, so it’s sometimes more efficient to hire a taxi. Many hotels in Jakarta offer a free shuttle service to and from the airport, so check with your hotel, before hopping on a shuttle bus or flagging down a taxi. You can also hire a car with us in advance at Expedia.com.au, but realize that Jakarta’s traffic, even outside of rush hour, can be legendary.

How to survive the flight to Jakarta?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Jakarta could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Jakarta?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Jakarta, here you come:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
