hi everyone, i'd be heading to jakarta to spend and waste some time soon in may for a 3d 2n trip

hope anyone could give me some heads up

i think of flying airasia to jakarta on a friday and be back on a sunday

would reach jakarta roughly timing 8:05 am

i'm not too sure on which hotel to choose, le meridien jakarta, or millennium hotel or hotel aryaduta or jw marriot

budget is around RM1,500 for flight and hotel stay

my intention to jakarta is to stroll around the shopping center and people watch. and of course eat at any random shop in a shopping center

i'm not buying anything as in kl i can find what i want already but i hope that RM1000 (idr 3,462,418) is sufficient for the trip. is it so?

which is the recommended hotel and someone pls suggest how do i get from seokarno hatta airport to the hotel? the best and cheapest alternative to shopping center and all? pls guide me how to get there and all

i'm not fussy when it comes to food, so i basically can eat anything available in the shopping belts
at night, preferably i would like drink a few pints of beer at a decent bar (affordable within my total budget of course)

hope a kind soul can help me out with much thanks notworthy.gif

yeah below rm150 per way is acceptable. u could also have a look at malindo their prices are decent as well and the fares already include 20kg luggage.
not sure about the hotel but RM1000 for 3 days is quite enough unless you are into high end shopping and eating. Yes you can find stuffs in kl but personally i feel the fashion is more updated in Jakarta. malaysia mostly gets out of season stuff.

you can always take a blue bird taxi. many taxi companies will come and harass you once you leave the departure hall so be sure the recognise the blue birds properly. their taxi queue is to the left of the arrival hall. their drivers wear their uniforms.

there's the transjakarta bus way if you can figure it out to move around jakarta. otherwise their taxi fares are pretty ok (without the crazy jam). beers are not exactly cheap in jakarta though but it will still fit your budget.

I think there are 1 or 2 hotels  that near to Grand Indonesia, a very marvelous shopping centre. In my perspective, better than Malaysia's Mall.
Erm, my visit was backed in year 2012.

The nearby Hotel's rate was minimum USD150 per night, but I did not choose to stay there and ended up choosing Morrissey Service Apartment.
A bit far off from the Shopping District, but it is located in a quiet neighbourhood. I love the boutique concept of the hotel.

I wouldn't exactly recommend you to stay at Morrissey. It was just my preference and also my wishes, to try new kind of Hotel.
You have to do your homework and see Google Maps.

I agreed with zatan, Blue Bird Taxi is recommended, especially for Foreigner.
However, I only have somewhat average experience with my taxi rides. Some is quite - honest and polite. While some is just trying to get extra quick-buck or just not friendly.
Yeah, I was aware of Malindo, RM199 I checked last week ago. I will check again some other time.

By the way, have you took other airline before like Garuda or KLM ?

thanks biggrin.gif
i will study up the offers of various airlines biggrin.gif
trying to shortlist anything below RM1500 for my flight and hotel 3d 2n (so far, many 5 star hotel available at this price through airasia)

if taken the bus then no jam right? how much roughly is the bus fares? is it rp3500? that's cheap! so from the airport to the hotel i shud be taking the blue bird taxi?
ok sure..... ya i plan to go grand indonesia, plaza indonesia, plaza senayan or is it senayan city mall and etc

i don't mind paying more on food..... i'll be selective in buying things, see anything worth or not on my getaway trip.....

hope to enjoy the hospitality of the locals and the window shopping experience

even if the local taxi were to "cheat", i won't mind being ripped off rp100,000 because after all is all about the experience and hospitality of the country thumbup.gif
