LHR-AUH 22.25-08.30+1 (Fly out Thursday night arriving Friday morning)
Day in AUH. No need to apply for visa if on UK passport. (any recommendations for a day rate hotel?)
AUH-CMB-CGK 23.00-13.20+1 (depart Friday evening arriving Saturday lunchtime)
Night in CGK hotel. Can apply for visa in advance or Electronic Visa on Arrival. (any recommendations for a decent hotel for just the 1 night?)
CGK-CMB-AUH 14.25-22.00 (depart Sunday lunchtime arriving Sunday evening)
Night in AUH hotel. No need for visa. (again any hotel recommendations)
AUH-LHR 10.10-15.20 (depart Monday morning arriving Monday afternoon)
Is that understanding right? Not too risky? Any easier/cheaper ways to get 500TPs over a single weekend originating from the UK?! Thanks all
There’s a website called Dayuse that you can book dayrooms on. Normally 9am-6pm and you can get a room for around £50. I’ve just had a one night stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada. Pretty cheap and I got a great upgrade.
Visa on arrival is pretty straightforward but there were a couple of flights landed before us. Took about 30 mins
