Airfield views/photography at Jakarta Airport?

[PERLHR]

Anyone been recently to Jakarta Airport? Is there any viewing terraces or good places for viewing aircraft there?

If you mean outside, it’s unlikely. I’ve been through CGK 20 or so times in T3 & T2 and don’t recall ever seeing signs to a viewing platform. Not sure I’d want to be outside in the heat, humidity and what passes for ‘air’ in Jakarta anyway… (unless I had a golf club in hand, done that plenty of times )

The views through the large glass windows in T3, as shown above, are pretty good. But you need to be airside.


The windows are big. There’s also the row of seats right in front of them.

I stayed one night at the Jakarta airport hotel at T2. Good enough room with excellent apron and runway views. Friendly staff. Plenty of eating places also outside T2 ground level.

I’ll look on the way back

The free Skytrain operates between the 3 terminals and the rail station

So there’s a Waving Gallery
At Terminal 1
Left hand end of Terminal 1B



It does look across the runway as I saw a jet take off …

Was underwhelming ..




That’s the skytrain Terminal 1 station in the background

Well found. Well done Capt Cool. It looks somewhat isolated yet tropical!
