Jakarta’s international airport has two terminals and twin runways. It is located 30km (18.5 miles) west of the city centre, although it can take over an hour to get in to the centre in heavy traffic.

There are currency exchange facilities, a business lounge, bars, souvenir shops, telephones, ATMs, car rental offices and a tourist information desk for arriving passengers.

Damri (tel: (021) 460 3708) run regular buses to various destinations within the city centre. Taxis can be booked at the counters in arrivals or outside arrivals. With the latter it is wise to negotiate a price before setting off.
