Minimum Int-Int connection time in Jakarta? (MH turnaround)
I found cheap J tickets on MH and was thinking of doing a same day MR (turnaround) on MH for CX tier points.
The weird thing is I found a thread stating that the MCT is 60 minutes in Jakarta, but MH is selling tickets with a 50 min connection time. (MH713 arrival 0850 & MH712 departing 0940)
With the legal transit time aside, is it possible to do a 50 minutes international transit in Jakarta? Do I need to pay for the Jakarta airport tax at the transit counter?

2. Yes. You need to pay for the international departure tax as you're arriving and departing on same airline. Tax will only not only not apply if your immediate connection is on different carriers.
3. Though you're on transit, the Indonesian authorities *might* make you get a visa, if you require one and they'll only accept local currency , or US$ or a very bad exchange rate to their advantage.
You never know about Indonesian rules!
