International to domestic

Most of you coming with flights from overseas will go through Jakarta or rather the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport of Jakarta. Then from Jakarta, you catch the domestic flight to Yogyakarta. This is mostly true even though Adi Sucipto Airport of Yogyakarta is an international airport on its own, meaning with its immigration clearance gate. It just so happens that only a few flights to Indonesia land directly in Yogyakarta. In this case, at the Jakarta airport, you have to find your way from “Arrival” (international) to “Departure” (domestic). If you are familiar with international airports elsewhere, you will have in your mind that you will have some difficulty getting there (“Departure” (domestic)).

In Jakarta, if you will be flying to Yogyakarta with Garuda Indonesia, the Terminal for you to embark to start your journey to Yogyakarta (“Departure” domestic), is “next door”, some 100 meters away from Terminal II D or E “Arrival” (international), same building, on the second floor. Sounds complicated? Maybe it is only because the way it is explained here. Anyway if you have two hours or more for the transit, then you should be OK. Don't forget to bring along your luggage, won’t you?

If you let us buy beforehand the e-ticket for this domestic leg of your journey, don’t worry if the actual ticket is not in your hand. But that will be another story ...
