Jakarta Travel Forum

I am an individual traveller, it is widely said that the traffic to and from the airport of Jakarta is very chotic and jammed. Then I would like to be advised on how many hours should I reserve if I come from Central jakarta by airport bus and taxi?
Is the airport bus reliable?

Hi,
It's true that Jakarta traffic is very chaotic in some time, so I ussualy spare 4 hours before departure time (2 hours for the journey to the airport and 2 hours for check in).
Since you live in Central Jakarta, I suggest to take airport bus from Gambir Station. That bus depart every 15 minutes. The bus is reliable, but, again, it depends on the traffic....;D
Have a nice day

For Jakarta traffic, you should have an allowance of two hours travel time either by bus or taxi to the airport.

You should spare at least 4 hours from Central Jakarta to Airport, and do not take freeway (Tanjung Priok - Soekarno Hatta) vice versa, there's a heavy reconstruction toward Soekarno Hatta direction.

I suggest you take a taxi (Blue Bird Group) so if you get unlucky and stuck, you could ask the taxi driver to find another way of perhaps a shortcut before get into the Soekarno Hatta freeway.

Hi,
On Tuesday May 6th this year I got the DAMRI airport bus from outside Gambir station at 2pm and it took about 1 hr 15 minutes to get to the airport.
I am not sure if I was lucky or if that is the usual length of time it takes.

What is the approximate bus fare or taxi fare from soekarno-hatta airport to hotel at Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya, Jakarta?

What is the approximate bus fare or taxi fare from soekarno-hatta airport to hotel at Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya, Jakarta?

Bus fare from the airport via air-conditioned Damri cost me IDR20,000.00. One of Damri's destination is Gambir (Train Station). From there you are near Gunung Sahari Raya but you still need a taxi ride (short but through traffic) from Gambir.

BTW, which hotel are you refering to?
