CGK-PLM transit in 100 minutes possible?
Hi everyone,
my wife and our two children will be landing in CGK at 3.40pm with Emirates. they want to get to Palembang as soon as possible that same day. Very strange: GA`s LAST flight to PLM on that day (friday!!) is at 5.20pm. even taking Batik or Citylink they would have to wait until 9.30pm!! Lion is not an option. Also for Srivijaya they would have to change Terminal. But 100 minutes to clear imigration and luggage drop in time...would anybody encourage us to do so?

yeah, GA aircraft utilization is a long way off to be optimum.
it's doable when the incoming flight is not delayed but 100 minutes with different PNR is always a risk.
moreover it is a long long walk in T3 from disembarking the EK aircraft - immigration - collecting the baggage - checking in GA flight - your gate of GA flight.

thank you, that was VERY helpful, we decided now to choose the latest plane - 4 hrs layover means looking for a good waiting lounge...google says 44 USD for Citilink per Person, even per child...that is not our buget...
ANY better options? suggestions?
Thank you for taking the effort to repy,

I recommend verifying the Google information, 44 USD is an absolute exaggeration for a Lounge in Indonesia even more a domestic one. Citilink is now operating from T2, as far as I know there isn't a Citilink dedicated lounge at CGK, only at Halim. I do not have experience in T2 domestic lounge as I only use it for international, for a comparison, Jas Premier lounge access is sold to intl guests at less than 20 USD and is the best one at T2 (but nothing to write home about), additionally child up to 5 years are admitted for free.

Lounge wise, spot on. I think most lounge entry fee is around 100-150k rupiah (8-12 usd) in CGK

Oh yes, sorry, my bad, I may be confused with Batik that moved different flights to T2 while Citilink still at 1C.
