HARRO HUNNAYYY
I’m glad you decided against your original plan because I was going to say no way, don’t do it. Even if you could get through customs and baggage, transferring terminals wasn’t that quick due to how often the buses come at Jakarta. Additionally, delays happen all the time, and the more connections you have, the more possibilities for issues to arise. Don’t forget these are offline connections meaning you have to exit plane and get your baggage on your own, possibly change terminals, and re-check everything before the baggage and check in cut off times.
Indonesia is not known for having reliable on time flights when you might need it the most. I think leaving yourself more time would be best. I think arriving Jakarta at 4:45 and catching a 9:45 is doable.
Don’t forget to factor in your no fly times, too. I know you’re limited on vacation but don’t forget the important details! You may also want to look into travel insurance or what you get with your credit card for certain delays, cancellations, interruptions, weather, etc or what it costs to catch up and rebook.
Keep in mind typhoon season in Japan and Hong Kong. October is generally quite late to have one but it does happen and will affect or delay travel. I almost was affected by one in late Oct in Japan returning from Indo.
