Domestic to International connection in Jakarta

[gaz0303]

Hi all,

I have a LOP-CGK on GA arriving at 10:40am followed by a 7:45pm departure for SYD on QF. My plan when booking was to allow a days work to be done in the 2 lounges I have access too at CGK. Tickets are on the same PNR but obviously different carriers/alliances. I will only have carry on.

I now have a fear that the QF flight will not open for check-in several hours after my arrival, leaving me stranded. Will GA issue my ticket in LOP or QF when I arrive in CGK?

From experience, VN didn't issue my QF ticket but as it was an international connection, I could use the transfer desk in BKK and hit the lounge within 10 minutes of landing. This time I will be arriving as a domestic passenger. I got caught out at CHC when I tried to checkin early and then visit the Antarctic Centre but forgot that there is limit on how early you can check-in.

Given QF has limited flights into CGK (and not even daily), pretty sure QF desk will only open 3hrs before.
Unlikely that GA would be able to issue QF ticket I suspect.

Can you do OLCI and print you boarding pass? This may be your only chance. But I suspect that may not work as you have to pay the airline the airport tax of 150,000 IDR. Without receipt of payment you won't be able to get through immigration.

Best idea may be to head to Sheraton Bandara for lunch (free shuttle) and camp out in their lobby for the afternoon!

Great suggestion! Advice on here is much better than that provided by TAs.
