Short travel window - must be ticketed by end of October and flown by end of November. Could be a good opportunity to credit to Virgin Australia while it still lasts

Flights with Qatar available for about 15% more with a more flexible travel window.

Is there a good hotel near CGK airport for positioning purposes?

Plenty, close by. CGK is one of our favourites for positioning purposes but we tend to stay for a day or 2 in Jakarta so head into town these days

If not staying in town, there’s several very close to CGK. The Ibis Budget and Ibis Styles are very cheap functional options. I’ve stayed at the later about 5 times in the last 3 yrs. It has a free airport shuttle to/from the airport. Getting it from the airport is a bit of a hassle but fine getting back.

Further afield are some options at PIK attached to a large shopping mall that has decent food options.

What's the Sheraton and Swissotel like?

 

[Scarlett]

The Sheraton may still be okay but was slated to be closed in 2018 due to additional taxiway works. Have a look at where it is on google maps and the taxiway to nowhere nearby…

Swissotel is average. Maybe just below Ibis Styles and similar to Swiss-Bel.

If you want to stay within five minutes and spend $70, stay at FM7, or Ibis Styles. If you want to spend $120-200, stay at the new Fairfield (next to Ibis) or at one of the (now TWO) Anara Hotels attached directly (landside) to T3.

I have (in the past now!) earnt many VFF SCs from EY flights from CGK. Such a pity. Maybe QR will have some good deals from there eventually.

Swissotel PIK was ok the one time we stayed there but we have had several good stays at the Mercure PIK if we have overnighters.

Whats the J product like on EY out of CGK? Emirates fly from memory that horrible config with 3 in the middle so avoid it.

All flights with 787’s. Seats can be on the firm side but I like their product even though I do think their catering can be hit or miss

Just looking into this again. The Ibis Styles is the other side of the city to CGK. You meant that you stayed at the Ibis Budget, which is close to CGK?

There seem to be at least 6 hotels within the airport precinct - anyone used any of them?

I'd be in abt 8pm and out abt 6am; absent a good one at the airport, the Mercure at PIK seems a reasonable choice. Anyone used their shuttle?

There’s an Ibis Styles AND Ibis Budget side by side. You can see the terminal from the better rooms.

I’d go with one of those for a 6am departure!

The PIK hotels would be better for a longer stay and need to fill in time - nice lunch etc.

There’s also the Anara at T3. Not stayed but highly recommended by others here.

Thanks again @SYD . I recall the Anara now, from previous enquiry . Seems a good choice for me as in and out of T3 both ways (QF<->QR)

For a 6am (aka Sparrows) departure. Probably worth the extra $.
