Jakarta (JKT) Flights

Are you looking to visit a place off the beaten path? Well, not really—Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and quite highly populated—but it’s not high on a lot of must-travel-to lists. That’s a sad oversight, because they’re missing out on the best cup of Java ever. But you won’t when you take advantage of lastminute.co.nz’s Jakarta holidays.

Getting Around Jakarta

Flights to Jakarta land at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), 28km from the city’s central business district. Use the Transjakarta Busway to get around and everything will be okay.

When You Land…

Arriving in the morning? Make your way to the west end of town and find your way into one of the Dutch colonial buildings with a café on the first floor. A warm cup of Java will help you get out of the airplane funk.

If you’re one of the flights to Jakarta that lands in the afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the National Museum of Indonesia. This place has way more than just ancient statues and an old ceramics collection—wait until you get a look at the skulls of Java cavemen.

People arriving with the night should make a beeline for South Jakarta and dance with the local Indonesians until the sun comes up. Book a stay at one of the hotels in Jakarta in this neighbourhood so you’ll only have a short walk home after drinking all those Bintangs.

Live Like a Local

Do you feel like going antiquing? You better, because the locals love it. Grab a motorised scooter and zip down Jalan Surabaya in search of that perfect rug to tie your room together. The Dude would be proud.

Saving a couple hundred bucks always does the body good. That’s why you’re going to browse lastminute.co.nz’s epic selection of cheap flights to Jakarta and save handfuls of money. Do you know how many Bintangs you can buy with a pocketful of rupiahs?
