This airport is hot, humid, dated and underwhelming
The airport Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta The flight Qantas flight QF42 from Jakarta to Sydney, departing 8.45pm. The arrival I'm arriving from Jakarta Airport Hotel, where I killed six hours before my onward flight home, altogether avoiding the city's notorious traffic that can make getting to the airport on time one of life's greatest gambles. The transit hotel is a short drive away and slightly Wes Anderson-esque – comfortable albeit quirky and extremely well priced with a complimentary shuttle to terminal 3. The look If the airport is not going to win any beauty contests, even less appealing is the temperature inside. The modern design struggles in the hot climate, and its abyss-like architecture, high ceilings and columns of windows seem to be effective only in undermining the air-conditioning. It's uncomfortably hot and humid in the terminal, and thankfully, supersized standalone AC units blowing jets of cool air have been placed at random.
