I'll be arriving at Jakarta airport via Philippine Airlines and I have a connecting flight to Denpasar, Bali via Air Asia. Are these two airlines in the same terminal or do I have to transfer? How easy is it to get to my domestic flight (Air Asia) from my international flight (Philippine Airlines)?
I have an seven-hour layover. Can I go out of the airport to explore a bit? Is there anything to see close to the airport? Or is it better for me to stay in the airport? Are there things to do? I know I don't need a Visitor on Arrival visa. Assuming I'll have bags, is there depository/storage service in the airport short-term?
Do you have feedback on Kinds Villa Bintang, Nusa Dua? I heard the resort itself is good but the beach is not so nice. Thank you.
Answer :
1. International and domestic terminals are different and the whole airport is huge. I suppose you will need to ride the airport bus to transfer you to the other terminals. However, to ensure, just ask the nearest public information booth. International arrival is at Terminal 2, and domestic departure of Air Asia (if I'm not mistaken) is at Terminal 3.
2. Do not go out of the airport if you 'only' have 7 hours of transit. Soekarno-Hatta Int'l Airport is built quite far from the city center to avoid high rise buildings. You can explore the terminal lobby where there must be several restaurants and also internet cafe.
3. Not sure about the storage service because I always prefer to carry my bags everywhere.
My suggestion is, as soon as you arrive, directly seek the public information booth to find out where shall you go to check in for the Air Asia domestic ticket. Find out where you could ride a free bus transfer. After you reach the terminal where Air Asia is operating, look for the check-in counter to know that you're in the correct place. Then you could explore the surrounding lobby. Usually after the check-in counter, there are also some interesting stores inside the airport. Do check in at least 1.5 to 2 hours before the departure time.
You can check this worldtravelguide.net/airport, but I don't think the information is updated. Currently the airport has 3 terminals, instead of 2.
Thank you for visiting Indonesia.
Answer :
i believe you have nothing to explore in Jakarta
you will disembark to Terminal 2.
As you will have flight in the next 7 hours, it is unlikely for you to check in as soon as you arrive, since the check in counter is opened 2 hours before departure and being closed 1 hour before. AirAsia is located in newly built Terminal 3. You can use shuttle bus to reach T3 for free charge (it comes every 15 minutes), otherwise you can use taxi in case you cannot find the shuttle bus.
Villa Bintang is very close to Bali Airport.
