Posts: 121So I was trying to book a ticket for tomorrow from JOG to Jakarta and have had a f fairly hard time. In addition to lack of availability of seats, the Malindo group (lion, batik, Malindo) wouldn't accept payment by credit card. They would only accept debit cards within 48 hrs of flight and that too only Indonesian cards for which they had a select list, as some sort of an anti fraud measure.
I had to get a much higher priced ticket with garuda, which also was flagged by my US bank despite a travel notification. Has to use amex and pay them a Forex surcharge.

Posts: 21Taxi, Money Exchange etc
I arrived late around midnight at CGK terminal 3. There was a big ass queue at the immigration. It took around 45 minutes to clear the immigration. Just before the exit there is a Money exchanger so change money for Taxi. Pick up the taxi and went to Shangri La. Cost was around 250 K.
Next day went to Plaza Indonesia west mall to change some more money and get a local SIM. I bought local SIM for 180 K. It lasted thru out my trip. Both cash exchange and Telecom place is on the 3rd floor.
I downloaded Blue Bird app and it worked very well. I used the Blue Bird taxi for most of my travels. One time when I was back from Classic I hail a taxi which was from some other company he did not want to turn on the meter and ask me for 100 K. I told him 50 K. In the end I paid him 60 K. It seems to me Blue Bird taxi is less hassle.
I actually rode the MRT from Satiabudi astra to Blok M during the day time it took about 15 minutes. So for day time shopping if you want to go to Blok M this may be a good option.

I was planning to visit Jakarta for few days starting 10th August. Its seems that CJs is definately closed on 10th and 11th, so will BATS be I guess. I wanted to know from BM's who have been staying there whether the city is in total shutdown for these 2 days or are some of the brothels / clubs open.
TIA.

Posts: 230Earlier this year I had issues with the airline not letting me board my flight to Indonesia without proof of onward travel. $25 and a ferry ticket from Batam to Singapore bought online at the airline check in counter and I was good to go.

Nonetheless, I always have a return ticket since my travels are finite and I have another life to get back to. At least for now.

I just go through the normal line and get the one month stamp for free. They ask me almost every time "how long will you stay", but they rarely ask to see my return ticket anymore. There was a guy about 5 entries ago who did ask to see my return ticket, so it does still happen on occasion.

Posts: 14Places to buy an electronic junk
Hi guys,
I am a 70's-90's calculators collector. Sorry for that. Women are on the first place of course Anyway. Are there any places in Jakarta I can find this kind of stuff? I don't think flea markets are good for this. They sell overpriced "old" souvenirs to stupid tourists mostly. For instance, if you want to collect an old cell phones from early 2000's the good place is ITC Roxy Mas Mall. They have a lot of old sell phones in good conditions for peanuts.
Thanks!
