CGK Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
What to Expect
Jakarta Airport (Code: CGK) is a large, sprawling complex with two older terminals (T1 and T2) and a newer terminal (T3), all connected by a free SkyTrain. T1 has three sub-terminals (A, B and C) and primarily serves domestic flights. T2 also has three sub-terminals (D, E and F), serving domestic and international flights. The ultra-modern T3 serves both domestic and international flights. All three terminals offer a range of dining and shopping options, though T3 has the largest selection of retail stores. WiFi is available to help pass the time. Additional comfort—including showers—can be found through fee-based access to one of the airport’s first-class lounges.
Sleeping in Jakarta Airport
Travellers report that airport staff and security generally tolerate overnight sleepers and that the terminals feel safe. The new T3 is highlighted as having the best sleep options and plenty of comfortable, sleep-friendly furniture. Reviews about the other terminals are mixed, with some warnings about uncomfortable furniture, though travellers have successfully found reasonable sleeping spots in all three terminals. Cold air conditioning is an oft-mentioned sleep hindrance, so consider bringing an extra layer and/or travel blanket. Eyeshade and earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones may also come in handy. For uninterrupted sleep, there is a hotel in the airport’s T2 and several others nearby. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations.
Good to Know
Porters have been known to gouge passengers with hefty fees and/or demands for large tips. Luggage trolleys, if you can find one, are free to use.
