I will be departing from CGK at 8.35 pm on a Saturday. What time do I have to calculate for transfer from center to airport by cab?

Your advice is very much appreciated,
Leaving CGK: I've had to wait 30 minutes to get a Bluebird taxi at busy times. If you're time conscious, you could get a Silverbird for about 50% more, or try one of the Expres or Gamya taxis. I've never had a problem with these taxi companies.

Going to CGK: Saturdays, trafficwise, usually isn't that bad, unless there is a special event, or rally. I'd still try to leave 3 hours before flight time. I've never had a trip to the airport take more than an hour, in a dozen or so trips from the Grand Hyatt, Intercontinental or South Jakarta.
