Direct flight to Jakarta

Garuda Indonesia, the national airline carrier of Indonesia, introduced a new flight on Jan 13 from Beijing to Jakarta, which greatly shortens travel time.

Previously, travelers from Beijing had to stop in Singapore for 4 hours before they arrived in Jakarta, for transfer to destinations such as Bali and Lombok.

The new flight sets off from Beijing at 7:55 am and takes about 6 hours to Jakarta. The return flight starts at 23:40 pm, and gets to Beijing around 7 am.
