Which terminal does my airline use at Jakarta?

Terminal 1: domestic LCC (Lion Air, Citilink, Sriwijaya). Terminal 2: mixed — AirAsia Indonesia, Scoot, Jetstar Asia, Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines. Terminal 3: Garuda Indonesia (home) + ALL international long-haul (Singapore, Cathay, Thai, Malaysia, Korean Air, JAL, ANA, Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, Turkish, KLM, Air France, China Airlines, EVA, China Southern).

How do I get from Jakarta Airport to the city?

Airport Rail Link (KAI Bandara) — IDR 70,000, 36-54 min direct to BNI City / Sudirman / Manggarai stations. Best option, A/C, comfortable. DAMRI airport bus IDR 50,000-75,000 to multiple districts. Bluebird taxi IDR 250,000-350,000 (use only the light-blue Bluebird brand — others can scam). Grab + Gojek (both work in Indonesia).

How long do I need for a Jakarta terminal transfer?

T1 ↔ T2: short walk on the same side. T1/T2 ↔ T3: ride the free Skytrain APM (4-min ride + 15-min walk to/from). Allow 90 min minimum for inter-terminal connection including re-security + immigration if changing between domestic and international.

Can I leave Jakarta Airport during a layover?

Yes for most major nationalities — Indonesia offers Visa on Arrival ($35, 30 days) or visa-free for ASEAN nationalities. Take the Airport Rail Link to central Jakarta (40 min). Allow 5-6 hours minimum round trip due to traffic. Quick options: stay airport-side at the on-airport hotels or Jiexpat Lounge for paid showers.

How early should I arrive at CGK?

International: 3 hours (Indonesia immigration on departure can hit 45-90 min queues at peak). Domestic: 2 hours. Use Garuda Premium check-in or fast-track if eligible. Plan extra time — CGK is large and security + immigration are not the world's fastest.
