Fun fact for foreigners

Soekarno Hatta isn’t the only public commercial airport in Jakarta, there’s another public Airport called Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport – which used to be a military only airport now opened for public.

So for you who visit Indonesia from abroad and have another domestic flight (connecting/not), ensure when you book the flight, it flies from Soekarno Hatta, otherwise you need to travel around 37KM to reach Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport.

When there’s only light traffic, you can reach Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport from Soekarno Hatta Airport – passing Jakarta – in about 30-45 minutes, however never underestimate Jakarta massive traffic jam. On normal busy weekdays, the travel time can be double or even triple than the original time so unless you have plenty of time between the flights, stick to Soekarno Hatta as much as possible.
