r/Jakarta

Hi,

My domestic flight (Lion Air) from Ambon arrives at Jakarta at 8:50am (JT 889). My international flight (Singapore Airlines) from Jakarta to Singapore is at 11am. Do you think that is too close or can I make it. I was thinking that since there are 2 of us... One can stay back for the luggage and the other rush to stand in the check-in lines.

Hey everyone, I’ll be travelling to Indonesia soon and my stay in your country will start in Jakarta. My flight lands at 5am. While I am aware that I will need a while to get downtown after the flight has landed (passport controls, waiting for luggage, travel time from the airport etc.), 5am is so early that I will likely still be downtown some time in the morning. My accommodations won’t let me check in before 2pm, which is generally fine by me. Usually in such cases I ask my accommodations whether I can store my luggage for a few hours until check in, and I did this time, but since the place is rented out to other travellers before me, I can only store my luggage there starting at 12pm. This will likely leave me with a few hours between my arrival in Jakarta proper and the time when I can ditch my luggage. So I figured I’d check if there are other places where I could safely and cheaply store my luggage for a few hours. I came across Gambir Station and the supposed luggage storage there. Could anyone here tell me whether that works well and whether leaving my bag(s) there for anywhere between two and six hours would make sense and be feasible? And if not, are there other options you would recommend?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much to any responders. I’m incredibly excited about my trip and I’ve been looking forward to it for months now :)

How often do earthquakes happen in Jakarta and the surrounding areas? And how well prepared are people there for earthquakes?

Dear fellow Jakartans,

I don’t know if this will be considered NSFW or not, but…

Karena saya dan pacar tidak boleh samen leven alias kumpul kebo, di mana sih tempat “parkir” mobil untuk kami bisa “ngobrol” di malam hari? We used to stay in Bandung dan banyak tempat parkir yang gelap, rindang, dan sepi.

Thanks!

After two years of living in Jakarta I am moving back to Canada next month – a few questions:

- I have a whole pile of good clothes and shoes that I would like to sell or at the very least donate, because I just don’t have enough room in my suitcase. They’re all still perfectly wearable. Any recommendations on the best method or place to do this?

- What about used furniture (like coffee table, lamps, fan, chairs, kitchen cart, etc.)?

- I also collected a whole collection of books that I would love to bring back with me but I just don’t have enough room for. I’m thinking of putting them all in a box and ship them, as I don’t need them right away and can wait for a long time for it to arrive. Is this something that I can do with Pos Indonesia or is there a better courier that is also cheap?

Thanks!

I forgot my wallet with my ID and cards all there. For some reason Garuda Indonesia Airlines won’t ship it to me. Can someone grab it ship and I will pay you ? Thank you so much please I need it my wallet ASAP ❤️🙏

I’ll be in Jakarta next week during Indonesia’s Independence Day (August 17th) (as a Dutch foreigner). How can I respectfully celebrate or take part in the festivities? What’s worth doing, and when?

Thankyou in advance!

Hi guys, I’m (26F, Indian) planning to travel for a week to Jakarta, also attending Weeknd. This will be my first solo trip so kinda excited??? Can you drop me some advices, specially clothing (I wear revealing clothes and plan to) and how liberal is it, and safe? Anything else?

Hi, I'm getting married next year and I'd like to know where you guys look to find apartments. Any websites or communities or methods that you guys would recommend?

Still not sure on renting vs buying but would love to have it in the Jaksel area.

I don’t have much plans tomorrow, so I have a lot of time to explore and try the food. Would also love to have a local join, if you’re interested.

I’m staying in Jakarta for 1 month. In the past I stayed in Menteng park apartments and I liked it but I want to try a new area. Is there anything like that in terms of quality/prince in Kuningan? Also is Travelio the best place to find monthly rents? Airbnb seems too expensive. Thanks

Hello komodos

Bener gak sih, untuk merubah HGB ruko jadi SHM, aturannya itu tergantung dgn pejabat setempat?

Jadi taun kemarin papa di tawarin untuk bikin SHM buat rukonya (ada 3 unit), dan menurut notaris, pembuatan shm itu nantinya menurut jumlah ruko, jadi dapat 3 surat shm

Nah bulan kemarin papa jadi pengen mulai mengurus, tapi notaris yg sama bilang, kalo total surat shm yg di terbitkan itu bakal berjumlah 6, masing" unit ada 2, sesuai dgn surat HGB

Yg gw bingung, memangnya lain pejabat lain aturan ya?

Sorry if this sounds like an ignorant question. I know Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country, and I’m planning a trip to Jakarta and Bandung.

Are hotel breakfasts in Jakarta and Bandung generally halal? Do I need to specifically look for a halal certification from the hotel, or are the food options at most hotels generally halal?

Just want to make sure before I book my hotels. Thank you!

I need to transit from TJ-TJ or TJ-train

Thanks!
