Long runway (3,6km), 2 paralel runways (but still it feels very crowded especially for approach and landing aircraft). Soon Terminal 3 Ultimate will be the new base for Garuda Indonesia!

For one of major capital cities of the world, this is not a so great airport. However, a major improvement is implemented at terminal 3. There are good food near the gate entrance. Baso Ino, Starbucks

Named after the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, and the first vice-president, Mohammad Hatta, the airport is often called Cengkareng by Indonesians after its locality - thus the IATA code CGK.

Just arrived from Jeddah, SHIA Cengkareng is like 'heaven' compare to KAAIA Jeddah:1. WiFi is rock! (upto 30 Mbps), 2. Clean & beatiful garden toilet, 3. Airport Service for disabled is superb :)

New T3 is amazing...so big and so beautiful.... But wifi signal is die and there is no restaurant in front boarding gate and no smoking area...so bad....


Jakarta International Airport has 150 check-in counters, 30 baggage carousels and 42 gates. Each sub-terminal has 25 check-in counters, 5 baggage carrousels and 7 gates.

Although its located in Tangerang, Banten, but most of Jakartans depart from this airport most of the time than in Halim Perdanakusumah because of its mobility and more efficient here in SHIA. ✈️

Free WiFi now available through SHIA, find a good place to surf, eat,drink and near by toilet/musholla. A few shop provide you to connect or charging your electronic devices.


Damri bus from airport to Blok M plaza only IDR30000. Free wifi available on the bus. There is a small counter you can buy the ticket at the waiting area. You can also buy the ticket on the bus.

The Old Town Coffee place outside Terminal 2D on the ground floor is open 24h. It has simple noodle and rice dishes plus frappes. It seemed to be the best of the late night food places at the airport.

Going to Bali and craving for instant noodle or toast? Try small midnight warung @Tjaplokobali at Seminyak, open till 3 am.

The domestic terminal is in the midst of renovation. It's looking fantastic already though; I suggest wandering down to gate 12ish for some wonderful coffee whilst you wait to board!
The primary airport serving the Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. Named after the first president and vice-president of Indonesia, Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta, it's located at Benda, Tangerang.


Taksi queue is very long..can take more than 1 hours. Damri bus is also take a while to wait. Dont forget, it will be jammed even in the free way.. be patient, welcome to patience city
Prepare to be hawked by everyone when you arrive. Uber pickup (d3) can be found by walking outside, finding D area (it's signposted) turn crossing the street into the middle and walking to carpark.
Well organized and sufficient capacity thanks to frequent extensions. Giod restaurants and pleasant lounges. Tax free shopping is at competitive prices.

Today I tried Telkomsel lounge since I used Halo simcard, it's free but the foods not really good. I only like milo from their machine. 2nd terminal is the best among the other terminal with free wifi

Shld have restaurant in a boarding hall. My god.. I'm hungry like horse!. Will die in 5 mins. Restaurants only available in a departure terminal. You cannot go back after accessing all security check.

Do the city check-in or online check-in rather than ho to regular check-in counter. You can pay your airport tax at the boarding lounge, right before you board to the airplane. Convenient & save time

Museum Wayang: This puppet museum has the best collections of wayang puppets in Java & its dusty cabinets are full of a multitude of characters from across Indonesia, Vietnam, India and Europe.
Terminal 3 has lots of good food options, but the best are before security. Though, the best coffee is after! As well, airport free WiFi is pretty poor, but cafes have decent ones.
It is worth it to pay for those executive lounges as you get good food and very comfortable seating while waiting for your flight.

If your in the terminal, wait till your past immigration before to eat, there are more options for eating. Plus the Starbucks inside in more conducive for relaxing while waiting for your plane

The
airportis often called Cengkareng by Indonesians. The
airport's IATA code, CGK, originates from the name of the Cengkareng locality, a district situated to the northwest of the city.
Read moreStrong wifi in the gates. There is a rest area in gate E2-E6 with comfy chair, I can lie on the have a good sleep while waiting for my flights.

Old Town and Starbucks are the best food place to hang around. Prices of duty free are ridiculous expensive. Get your Indonesian souvenirs sorted before you leave!

Step 1: pay for Visa in cash ($25); Step 2: make a cash withdrawal from the nearest ATM; Step 3: pick up a data-only Simpati SIM card; Step 4: find yourself a Bluebird taxi (150k IDR to downtown)


Be on time, according to Wikipedia.com : In May 2008, ForbesTraveller.com recognized this as the 6th most punctual airport in the world 86.3% of flights departing and 72.3% of arriving, on time.

The airport is quite messy from the outside. Internally it has its own unique arrangement for its Duty Free Shops and cafe's. Tonight KLM flight is 4 hours delayed fm Jakarta. It was late too from KL.

Although it primarily serves Jakarta, it is located about 20 km west of the city, in Tangerang in the neighboring province of Banten. It began operations in1984 replacing the former Kemayoran airport

Spend some time here and you'll be sweating all over. The A/C doesn't seem to work properly. Bring some spare clothes for the moment you have to board your airplane.

If you have late flights on terminal 2 (international) be sure to buy water or food before entering the airport. Coffee and food stands usually close around 00. Getting water near gates is difficult
For local traveler whose searching for a good snack. You'll be lucky if your departure is at terminal 3 (one of the best). The rest local flight lounge mostly sucks.

You will be asked about Hadiyah 🎁 until you feel sick from them, and you will need to pay 150,000 IDR for each passport as airport tax 👎

Check out the Taman Sari Spa if you are here early. Reasonable price. Walk towards the Domestic Flight check-in right at the end.

For who is boarding from gate 3 and you wearing high heel?my suggestiion take golf car.too far lah ladies.. 😊😊


For those who never visited Jakarta before: Beware of picking your Taxi! Pick one of these options: Silver / Golden Bird, Blue Bird, or Express (for a cheaper argo)
Still not change since my last review. The cosmetics wont gives you the true face. I suggest to the head of authority to go down in the fields and experience what passangers are complaining.
The walking distance from arriving hall to the entrance is so far. Wait or request for the buggy if you dont want a swalln feet.
Free wifi and internet so fast , there is no problem for watching youtube , facebook even for tweet!!

Witnessing that several lounges have already equipped themselves with fire extinguishers. Simply due to the latest fire incident, most probably.

Hike up one of Indonesia’s many active and dormant volcanoes, including Mt. Bromo in East Java and Mt. Agung in Bali.

a bit noisy outside, but the Int'l lounge offers beautiful view&cleanSaZ environment. It's huge, so hop on free shuttle bus (yellow bus) to travel between terminals.

Indonesia's international airport is already equipped with advanced facilities adequate, available three departure and arrival terminals, parking lots and parking available for stays
I used T1, domestic terminal. Departure entrance and arrival exit are same geound floor. Depend on airline, u need to walk 1A - 1C and wait at security gate at entrance... Same as always, wifi died
