Everything went smoothly, the staff was friendly, the special meal was correct. It was with Singapore Airlines for the first two legs (Penang to Singapore then Singapore to LAX). The final leg of LAX to BWI was with United.

In the past the only tourists visiting Indonesia were either global nomads, or eccentric artists. Today everyone from honeymooners to families are booking flights to Indonesia to discover what they’ve been missing out on all these years. And their first stop is usually the capital, Jakarta. Like most big, overpopulated cities Jakarta can be exhausting so a couple of days here is more than enough.
Made up of thousands of islands, Indonesia is a large and varied archipelago. Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, New Guinea and Sulawesi are the largest of the islands. Java, where Jakarta is situated, is the most developed of the islands and boasts some awe-inspiring volcanoes. Adventure seeking travellers booking flights to Indonesia should plan a climb up Gunung Bromo, the active volcano. Most of the tourism is concentrated in the tiny island of Bali, which has some of the best beaches and resorts in the country. Its cultural capital, Ubud, is renowned for its art galleries and festivals. Further east Lombok’s beaches and temples are becoming increasingly popular with travellers looking to get away from the crowds that Bali draws. For a real off-the-beaten-track holiday travellers should head to Sumba, where the annual pasola (ritual war) takes place and outsiders are encouraged to partake in a rite of passage-style ritual of sharing betel nut (a euphoric stimulant) with the village headman and his hosts.
Indonesia is hot all year round, with average temperatures of 31 degrees. It cools down a bit during the wet season, but muddy roads make travel very difficult. The coasts are hotter than the inland areas, but not by much.
There are a number of airlines that offer domestic flights, primarily between Jakarta, Bali, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.
Ferries operate between the islands and standards are high.
Three types of bus service operate on the main islands – ekonomi, express and luxury. The luxury buses are the only ones fitted with air-conditioning and with adequate space for rucksacks and bags, however, a trip on the ekonomi buses is an unmissable experience.
