As an Indonesian, I am very ashamed of our airport staff You can report the airport officer to the airport's official website . This video is proof enough because airport officials work with taxi drivers to trick you you've been directed to a taxi driver at a crazy pprice.

I had alarm bells going off when you said the security guard mentioned a taxi to get to the terminal and then for the taxi driver to try to over charge so much and argue with you, WOW! Glad you were not fooled. Great video, had my stomach in knots.

This is so informative, thank you!

Thank you for putting this issue you had in the video. I am sorry you had that happen and am really proud of you for making such a shrewd decision in a very pressured moment and sharing it with us to learn from.

What a shameless, irresponsible taxi staff! I am sorry that you had to experience this. And I am very happy you made it. Believe me, I twice had been in the same situation as you becoming the last passenger to board, and the whole passenger in the airplane were like.... "looking at you with bored face of waiting" hahaha.. To clarify what you experienced in Jakarta Airport, yes the skytrain is fully working, and I think is the most comfortable and easiest option to transfer between terminals in Jakarta CGK Airport. It is just lack of signage and direction in the airport terminal, so many first timers are confused and can easily come to this "taxi trap". There are also free shuttle and paid shuttle bus (IDR 5000), but I don't recommend it unless your next flight is at least in the next 1 hour. The shuttle bus route is circling to few places before going to airport terminal. From terminal 1 to terminal 3 it takes up to 20-25 minutes. But for those who still want to take these shuttle buses, they need to go to the departure area of the terminal, there will be a signage of Airport Shuttle Bus pretty close to the terminal road. Just wait there, the bus departs every 5 to 10 minutes depends on traffic condition.

Girl... you are brave! I admire you traveling alone without knowing the language! So glad everything turned out good and you're safe!

Wow - I was sweating just watching you run through the airport!

OMG I was so stressed watching this !! you almost had to jump to get on it !! Congrats you made it !! LOLLL

When you got up to the plane at about 11:15, ticket in hand & outstretched …. I expected them to turn around, smile, close the door and wave through the window. 😂🤣😂 glad everything worked out!!

Good job, you made it and welcome to Indonesia…

Wow, that was like a nail-biting action movie!

please don,t hesitate to record and report anything you feel bad experience and strange happen...Enjoy your another Journey!

tolong yang orang indonesia sebaiknya ini di laporkan ke menteri pariwisata..sangat memalukan buat bangsa indonesia

Enjoy and stay safe!

I made the mistake and went to the terminal you landed in (Grab taxi, my mistake!) when travelling to KL. I lounged around for a while until I realized my mistake, then had to rush to get a taxi to go to the correct terminal. It was about 200k. This was 2018 (?) so there was no Skytrain yet. Very stressful experience, but turned out just fine in the end. Then when I got to KL I had a flight to BKK. Not a connecting ticket/flight, so I had to go through customs and immigration. Made the flight with just seconds to spare. Fond memories and +100 in travel experience gained, but so extremely stressful at the time.

Nice video yaap,😊😉

Mana tindakan Otoritas bandara , terhadap taxi nakal yg memalukan dan menjelekan nama airport soekarno hatta jakarta kog pada diam, seperti ada pembiaran terhadap driver taxi soekarno hatta airport. Memalukan sekali, semoga ada perhatian dari pihak Otoritas bandara kejadian seperti ini. Jangan terulang lagi, ini sudah sering kali terjadi. Perhatikan kenyamanan penumpang apalagi mereka orang asing. Tanpa penumpang airport tidak ada artinya. Semoga ini mendapat perhatian dari bapak mentri perhubungan, bapak Budi. Agar soekarno hatta airport baik di mata orang asing

be careful while traveling & check anything needed, including the cost of travel on land.

actually u don't need to use airplane to jakarta from semarang . . u can use travel shuttle like Day trans or CitiTrans only 5 - 6 hours (full highway) . . . or u can use trains only 5 hours . . and off cource cheaper . .

wah ini benar2 penipuan 250ribu ke terminal 1 . itu harus diusut dalangnya biar gak merusak citra tourism Indonesia yg sangat merugikan di masa depan . harus dihukum berat pelakuknya.

Massage chair, much deserved. Hit the like, and this video made my day!

Try padang food: gulai tambusu, grill fish, sarikayo, bubur kampiun, sate padang, teh taluak, rendang batokok dan ketupat sayur 👍👍

You get a train outside its free. I did get a train from terminal 3 to terminal 1A to get a flight to Semarang back in March 2023

I wish I found your vlog earlier. Arrived @T2 from Semarang, going to T3, paid 350K (yes I got scammed)…but it was a lady, carrying a cellphone. Anyway, hi from Niagara, Canada 🇨🇦.

in the end you use skytrain, how much the price?

Ill be in Jakarta and vlogging, any places or area you can stay at where the street food is?

Similar experience for me in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Driver thought I was a foreigner, had a surprised look on his face when I spoke to him in Melayu. Told him he was overcharging me. He heard me spoke to a fellow traveler from London in American English with a southern twang. Grew up in Texas born in Kuching.

airports in general have the biggest scams on tourist! Though I have never seen someone actually have a picture from a video footage so fast! These criminals are all working together, that's actually scary

Pemerintah tolong lihat ulah oknum seperti ini... 🤦🏼‍♀️ Memalukan

On hind sight, you should have just taken the other flight. Excellent video. Are you planing to return to Ecuador?

Thank you for sharing Ayngelina

Vlog yg menarik..

When i travelled back to Jakarta i had to leave Temanggung in the morning at 8am by bus, we get to Jakarta at night around 7pm, then i had to take a tax to the airport, so i stay in airport until morning so i could catch my flight back at 8am, i arrived in London at 7pm

I was sweating watching you run around the airport. I'm going there in June. Note to self - Use the sky train.

You are lucky because your journey from Soekarno Hatta airport is crowded with passengers. There is indeed a waiting time lag of a few minutes. And lucky again your departure time in the afternoon. If your departure time is in the morning. The probability of being left by plane are very high.

The security guard and the cab driver is working together. They probably have done this several times before. And what was the photo of you? Taken by the security guard whilst you were talking to him?

I will be going to Indonesia Dec 27 2023 and this popped up on my feed. You were extremely gracious. I knew you were Canadian. I’d be cussing people the fvck out. That’s the Caribbean in me. 😂😂😂😂 Thank you for the video.

I was standing up in my living room yelling at the TV..."You got this Ayngelina! Go girl! Hurry up!!" You looked fabulous and you have the best travel attitude! I fell for a scam my first day in Nepal..."milk for my baby" scam. I was there for four months... spectacular people!! You found your bag and arrived to your destination safely!! Yay you 💞

This is quite common in Jakarta airport , i have been travelling to jakarta for a long long time and i have faced this many times before , but now they cant cheat me , however i have to say that except Jakarta Airport i have never faced the same in any other indonesian airport , be it solo, semarang , surabaya , Medam , Bandung or any one. But the best people you get is in Solo

I haven’t been back to Indonesia in 50 year and it looks like things haven’t improved for foreigners, Unless you arrive with a high-ranking uniformed official as an escort, you get fleeced for everything they can get. Thank you for your hospitality, Indonesia. And shame on you, as well: at least the Thais do it with a smile.

Yes, in our defense though, now several cities (bigger city at least) are trying to reduce plastic bags and most restaurants also don’t give you straw unless you asked for it or changing into paper straw. Still need effort of course, we are trying our best too. 😁 and yup you are about to be scammed there. Never go out with someone like those guy. And sky train always works since a lot of connections. With taxi, probably just under 30k rupiah it’s real close but yeah with parking and other charge maybe 50k? I never change connection in Jakarta 😂 but it is real close between terminals. Taxi competed with grab and gojek, so are both the online platform so yeah. That kind of things happened.

not that tight timing if you travel withouh checked-in baggage Terminal 1 and 2 is much much smaller than terminal 3. Walking to boarding gate requires much lesser time. So, skytrain is enough for half an hour gap to transfer 😅. However For Terminal 3, you need to carefully time your arrival still. You might still wanna use taxi, but sure 250k is a major scam though.😅

How much it is for the sky train from terminal 2 to terminal 3 ??

But from the locals much cheaper like 7/11 Thailand bit of a rip of stores

I would think if you're in a rush risking missing a flight, you wouldn't have time to record it.

I got scammed by a taxi Driver in Perth Australia airport that charged me soo much higher, from Airport to the hotel cost me around $70 which was supposed to be just around $30 Max. Its happening everywhere, its the person attitude, dissapointing indeed

i’ll be forever grateful for pearson’s terminal link after watching this

Uuu I miss padang, havent been there since 2017 :(

14:40 Yes, because there are Grab's territory. If you know what I mean.

Only use the Bluebird corp taxis at the airport.

A lot of scammers in Indonesia (CGK)… even the officers who is working at the immigration …just be careful. Please make sure you check your passports while you’re at the immigration booth…. To make sure you get your visa & receipt for your visa on arrival before you left the immigration booth. If you’re not aware, you’ll get easily scammed by them. And you can end up paying additional 500,000 IDR to get the visa on arrival.

keren ngevlog sendiri😁👏👏

soekarno hatta is not a good airport for transit. even headways between skytrain takes quite lengthy times. i once took gojek car ride to transit because i was in a rush. better to give extra time between flights if you transit there.

You should use James Bond music 😅😅

From this video i just want to say there got beautiful airport. No comment for scammer.

Be careful in Jakarta airport especially on arrival, never buy SIM card in there because the price is crazy expensive , it’s scary n don’t trust with uniform people. Take care. Always read your destination by map on board n don’t ask uniform people sometime is a liar. They cheat to all customer not only to foreigner😢

👍👍🙏❤️

Memang banyak yg gencet harga taxi d

Actually between terminals at jakarta there are a shuttle buses

Scam people are everywhere in any country. So if you are a tourist, please be careful. 😁😁

Also be aware that the journey into jakarta is no more than 150,000 they scam you 50,000 for toll fees it only 19,000 these things need to be said online to outsmart these scammers happy travellers people oh yes when you exit the terminal turn left head straight ask the guy by the train machines bud to jakarta he will point you in the right direction

Who do u think sent photo of you to the scam driver ??

You are reporting about the scam in Jakarta Airport. But you look like so excited dealing with the Scammer. I guess all the Tourist and the First timer coming to Indonesia being going to be the Target of them. I hope you will never regret to visiting Indonesia. Every Country has good side and bad side.

Epic adventure. Scam proof hehehe

Ayngelina, Why didn't we travel together to Jakarta?

Silver Queen is a good choice for a local chocolate bar.

I wasn't sad to leave any city omg the noise and standard of hotels not good

I made it to Halifax. It was grueling.

I often try to replace tortillas with bread .

why passenger should go with taxi between terminal ..so crazy reccomendation..

Ya silverqueen chocolate is local, made in garut,west java

That is a kot of things u do not know about the kiosk .

This was a common issue in almost every airport. A taxi scam, a baggage handling scam etc. You only need to be cautious and ignore everything that doesn't seems right, then you'll be fine. For mw India is the worst, in Indonesia if i rejects people they will go away but not in India. Unbeliavably annoying people

oh this is going up to the Ministry im pretty sure...😝

The mosques that's another story 4 am alarm call boy oh boy lol.

Landscape and Landing Airbus in few Second PBS travels... 2023

If I had 30 minutes to connect, I’d pay $20

Even premier inns are better in the UK than the standard here in Indonesia I booked a 5 star in yogyajakarta well I wouldn't rate it 3 Star I often wonder where these hotel online websites get there reviews from word of advice try and view hotels with European reviews from travellers rather from native people cause there standards are different from Europeans or the west

Circle K is king for the great deals .

Jesus christ woman you had me sweating myself that you would make the flight lol .

Airport terminal transport is jobless. Almost no one use them. They dont deserve to be there. The business is a mistake. Or maybe they used by hopeless transfer flight passenger who were in a superhurry

Am not moaning just keeping it real it's the small little things that are so hard and frustrating to do in Indonesia that are very easy in other Asian countries plus the government control on thing's like internet is not good some websites won't load or no access and am not.talkomg about you know what

Keputusan yang tepat

Thats why i like Malaysia better none of this no taxi totes it's against the law and heavy prison sentence Indonesia needs to get a grip on this

You're impressive under pressure. I'd have paid the taxi... 😳

Penipuan oknum oknum petugas bandara 😌

How many people come because of amit bhai crazy xyz scammed ✨🙏💖

He's gonna get fire for sure

I somewhat find two problems here. 1. The issue with the taxi driver is definitely wrong. 2. The constant attempt to record while being in a frantic hurry kind of makes the issue of time disingenuous. Does anyone on Earth that has time constraints in a strange land take time to record video.

you should first ask a Muslim woman from the start she will definitely help you honestly. in Indonesia, don't hesitate to ask questions so you don't get lost and be deceived by officers who work with taxi drivers.

Domestic flights are crazy price in Indonesia shame cause.i wanted to see more of Indonesia. Shame shame hey ho that's life not affordable ok if your a blogger on a decent salary lol

skytrain left the chat

I will go to jakarta from frankfurt in 2 months. Let's see what awaits me.

I paid 150k back in 2018 😅

I'm sorry for unconvinient happened in jakarta, and hoppe our goverment will punish him as long as you have a photo, you can show to our police. I hate it

Where place inn me I'm kick in my country philippines.im search country.you watch social media news in Philippines cook.the president control the community innocent person.what a human.

Sungguh memalukan..😢😢
