What time was that? And were there a lot of planes arriving at the same time?
edit: in regards to traffic from/to airport, it's probably during morning and evening rush hour right? Around 3-4pm shouldn't be too bad?
Yes, it really is that bad.
If you cannot get in the cab from the airport before 3:30pm, expect a long trip to get to your hotel. Also, if it is raining, add 30mins to 1 hr to the journey at a minimum.
I was spoiled as I arrived to Jakarta around 10am on a Sunday, so going to the hotel there was no traffic and it was nice. The next Monday I worked till 5pm up north by the water/airport and it decided to rain. It took me 3 hours to get back to my hotel (Park Lane) that's somewhere in the area where the JW is.
