The flight leaves Schiphol at 14:00 and lands in Jakarta at 10:00 the next morning, after 14 hours non-stop. The return leaves Jakarta at 02:10 or 03:10 and lands in Amsterdam at 11:00 or 12:00 the same day. Monday departures are the cheapest: Saturday departures cost from €855.
💰 How far does your money go?
A plate of nasi goreng from a street stall costs around €1.40, less than a kroket from the wall at FEBO. A cold Bintang from a minimarket is about €2, and a TransJakarta bus ride costs €0.20 against more than €3 for a single GVB tram ticket. A full Padang meal, with as many dishes as you can fit on the table, rarely passes €5.
☀️ The Weather
November and December are part of Jakarta's rainy season. Expect highs of 31 to 32°C, nights around 25°C and high humidity. Most days start dry and sunny, with a heavy downpour in the afternoon or evening that usually passes within a couple of hours. Plan sightseeing for the morning and keep the afternoons flexible.
