Jakarta eSIM: what to know before you land
🇮🇩 Jakarta, Indonesia · CGK · 3-day pick: 2 GB for $3.99
Landing in Jakarta
- CGK Soekarno–Hatta
Soekarno–Hatta is west of the city and connected by the airport rail link as well as taxis and buses; road traffic into Jakarta can be slow.
- Install the Indonesia eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.
- When the plane lands at CGK, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, so maps and transport apps work from the arrivals hall.
- The days start counting on first connection in Indonesia, not at purchase.
You'll need about 1.5 GB over 3 days. 2 GB covers it with room to spare.
