Jakarta International Airport (CGK), also known as Soekarno-Hatta, is the main airport on Indonesia’s Java island. It was named after President Soekarno, the first president, and vice-president Mohammad Hatta, the first VP of Indonesia. You can fly from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Jakarta (CGK), Indonesia, in 2h 10min, and from Penang (PEN) in 2h 35min.
Both the flights from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and from Penang International Airport (PEN) are direct flights to Jakarta, Indonesia, so it is very easy to get Jakarta flight deals for a short break. If you’re confused by the airport code, it is because the airport used to be called Cengkareng Airport (CGK) and locals still refer to it as Cengkareng.
The cheapest option is with the Damri Airport Bus, which takes between 40-80min (depending on traffic) and costs around RM 12. You can buy tickets from counters in the terminals or from the bus driver. Your second option is the Airport Rail Link train line that runs from Jakarta Airport to central BNI City Airport Train Station in 40min. You can buy tickets for RM 30-45 from the Rail Link website, the app, or at vending machines in the station. The Skytrain between terminals links up with this network. Your third option is a taxi. We advise buying tickets from the counters in the Arrivals area. You can book Blue Bird taxis (basic and reliable), Silver Bird taxis (premium) and Golden Bird (limousines). A taxi costs RM 45-60. If you opt not to pre-purchase tickets, don’t get into a taxi without agreeing on a price or you may get an expensive surprise.
Many people use Jakarta as a gateway to the rest of Indonesia, but if you allow yourself some time to explore, you will find many interesting sights and sounds in the bustling capital. Kota Tua, also known as Old Town Batavia, was the original headquarters of the Dutch East India Company and is steeped in history and old-world charm. For contrast, you can visit Petak Semblian – Jakarta’s Chinatown with temples and great Chinese food. If you want to try the best of authentic Indonesian food, visit Lara Djonggrang Restaurant, where you can get a taste of being treated like royalty for an evening. Wayang are traditional Indonesian puppets and this is a treasured cultural tradition; visit the Wayang Museum and get a chance to view the vast collection and maybe even catch a puppet show. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is a theme park that showcases the cultures, customs and traditions of Indonesia in mini form. If you are tight on time, this will give you a good overview of the nation. If shopping is your passion, head to Menteng where the 1 km-long Jalan Surabaya Flea Market is located.
If you are a Malaysian national visiting as a tourist for less than 30 days, you do not need a visa to enter Indonesia. You must, however, have at least six months left on your passport, have a free page for the Free Entry Stamp and not bring more than RM 28,000 cash into Indonesia. If you intend to stay as a tourist for longer than 30 days, you can apply for a visa on arrival, which can then be extended by another 30 days from within Indonesia. The visa on arrival costs about RM 143. The extension costs about RM 228.
