I don’t recall any Transfer route at CGK, but have a feeling that it may be near the VOA counters (a long walk). Until [MENTION=722611]Jamier45[/MENTION] or others report back I wouldn’t risk it…. not worth the stress!
AUH simple.
The only things that could go wrong would be lack of a printed BP? Pre-Covid at AUH they faffed at the gate when I showed my paper self-printed BP but just waved me on board. I had no luck getting the transfer desk at CMB (while en route to AUH) to print BPs for the next rotation although others had success with this.
Post-Covid on last month’s trip security at AUH required a printed BP, self-printed were definitely not acceptable. What we don’t need is that Transfer security adopt the same stance, so I’d try and get BPs printed for the AUH outbound while at CMB on the inbound (although connection tight-ish).
I’ve had this BP issue across ME/Asia quite a bit recently. Thailand, Singapore, AUH, DXB. But not Jakarta. There must have been some fraud type issue that’s caused self-printed BPs to be unwelcome?
