Just got Jakarta. Huge upgrades to the airport, all new terminal. Good WiFi.
Flying Garuda HK - Jakarta then non stop to Sorong. Didn't have to pick up my bags in Jakarta, hoping for the best. Exchange rate in the airport is R14,920 for $1US, for new and large bills. SIM card and 12G of data with was R300,000.
I’ll also be flying to Sorong via Jakarta and HK shortly.
Question: why would you exchange CAD to USD and then to IDR? Why not just CAD to IDR in a Canadian bank? Wouldn’t that save you one level of exchange fees or am I missing something?
Did you get the SIM card at the airport?
