Try garudaindonesia.co.uk but keep in mind that TG and GA code share out of DPS, also if you try the Garuda/Thailand special page there are always heaps going on, regards bkkrop ps try to exit via DPS.

In the past there's been no issues with using a foreign credit card when booking by phone (+62 21 2351 9999) - they take your booking and then process payment with a phone based IVR system. See http://www.garuda-indonesia.com/befo...online-payment for more details.

Thank you for your help. In the end my TG waitlist DPS-BKK cleared and I have now issued a ticket on that flight instead.

Fast track for VOA in CGK?
 

My family and I are arriving on the Lufthansa flight this week. Since this flights lands half an hour after the KLM-flight we would be interested in paying for some kind of fast track to expedite our processing. Is there such a service available at Jakarta airport? We already have transfer arrange to our hotel (FM7).

Yes PM me and i'll forward the email of a friend who can help you. It's only really worth it if there are long queues at immigration...if you are behind some planes, it might be worth it...

Two backpackers arriving at 2230 - will this be an issue with touts etc or dodgy? No problem if we prebook a hotel and have transfer arranged? Would you recommend us to try to arrive earlier?

Arrival time fine (even better as no traffic)...especially if you prebooked a hotel and transfer. Just ignore everyone else.

wow.... this thread still lives !

thanks for the advice! booked my hotel on expedia. has anyone made any experience with the following hotel? couldnt find anything on tripadvisor or via google:
Twin Plaza Hotel Jakarta
Jl. S. Parman Kav. 93 - 94
Jakarta 11420

Well, your hotel is in Slipi so it's on the way to the "CBD"...distancewise from say Sanayan is doable but just be painfully aware of traffic and rain. Not sure how long you are staying or what your plans are but have no idea of the hotel itself. Should be ok...:p

I'll have 1/2 a day off in Jakarta on Monday. Staying at the Four Seasons. Any recommendations on what to do / where to go / where to eat. I know it is rather broad of a question, but given time limitations and location any advice will be helpful.

On edit... also any place to go shopping for men's clothes? BA lost my bag so I'll have to replenish some basics (undies, undershirt, maybe a dress shirt / pants) Thanks!

Lounge access at CGK
 

I am going back to YVR and departing from CGK using the Philippines Airlines Business Class, does anyone knows if there is/are any lounge available for PAL Business Class Pax at CGK?

interline/inter-terminal transfer at CGK
 

We'll be arriving from HKG on CX (terminal 2, I think) and connecting to an Air Asia flight (terminal 3) to YOG. How is the inter-terminal connection made and how long does it take? (We will have 2 hours.)

What to do for 5 hours?
 

So, I will be flying into CGK on SQ at 9:45am and flying out on CX at 2:50pm on 2 separate tickets. So, any recommendations on what I should do for that 5 hours? I am flying in J so lounge access is not a problem. But, I am sure that the lounge gets boring after a few hours. So, any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!

With traffic in/out town, plus checking out/in and 'visa' fee, you're short on options. If you're a golfer, there's a nice Greg Norman course that you can try to sneak in 9 holes, shower, get meal?
