When you check in at CAN, your luggage should be tagged all the way.
As long as it is, you should not have to collect it.
For peace of mind, show your luggage tag at the gate and ask them to confirm it has been transferred.

You need to go through immigration, reclaim luggage, pass customs and recheck at the domestic counter.

Hello, any recent experience entering regarding COVID requirements?
Info is quite confusing, I downloaded the satusehat app and could not upload my card. Is this even required any longer? Can I just carry my card (US CDC)?

There are no COVID requirements for Indonesia.

We will be transiting CGK Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 next year domestic to international flight. I'm getting ready to book the flights. We'll be arriving on Batik from AMQ at 10:20. Departing on EVA to TPE at 14:20. These will be on separate PNRs.
Is 4 hours a reasonable connection time to collect our checked bags, transit to Terminal 3, and check in with EVA?
Is the Sky Train running on a dependable schedule? I remember reading in a another post a while ago that the train was only running sporadically. If the train isn't running, is there a free shuttle bus to go from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3?

Just a random datapoint - Visa on Arrival seemed to work relatively well on a Sunday at 1:30 PM - no one in line at the payment counter, paid 35 US dollars (they said change would be in IDR, so I'm glad I had exact change), walked up to the Foreigner section with a bunch of separate lines - no more than 4 folks deep each. The officer asked more questions in English than I would normally expect, but nothing odd and was willing to put the visa stickers over old stamps (much appreciated). The customs form is online only now and took about 2 minutes - scan at the exit, and then you're done. Probably a 20-30 minute process in total (I didn't have to wait for checked bags as I was carry-on only).

Otherwise I would want both flights on one PNR , or a full day in between.
I have had too many flight cancellations/delays in Indonesia in the past ( President/VP is flying in today so airport closed,
shuttle bus for crew broke down so no flight,....).

Yes, I would be comfortable with 4 hours as long as you have a changeable ticket to TPE.

Connection timing in CGK
We will be arriving at CGK from Sorong via Garuda at 10:10 AM with checked bags. We are looking at an outbound international Scoot flight that departs 12:10. Are we going to be able to do this? It is on a Wednesday in mid-December.
Thanks!
Thanks!
