So heres' the tips dear travelers;
1. Google all three websites for the best deal - MAS, AIR ASIA, KLM
2. Book hotel rooms through the internet (Agoda) or you can book your room at the Jakarta Airport after immigration - you can bargain for free airport/hotel transfer
3. Make sure you arrive in the morning after rush hour, so that you will not experience Jakarta traffic
4. Exchange rates are better in KL. For a 2D/1N stay, 700,000 rupiah per person is sufficient for your transport, food and airport tax. Hotel accommodation and shopping not included. To make calculations easier, every 10,000Rp = RM 3.70. Every RM1 = 2,725 Rp
5. Please remember to set aside 150,000 rupiah per person for your airport exit tax. But if you're lucky enough you wont be paying your tax ;)
6. Only take taxis that use the meter. we use the 'blue bird' company.
