Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is attracting a lot of unfair criticism these days. The airport is airy with a tall ceiling and is built in a beautiful, typically Indonesian architectural style. The terminal housing gates D, E & F which I have used since the airport first opened has some of the most beautifully decorated lounges with a nice ethnic touch.
It is a functional airport though not flashy. Immigration and customs formalities are quite fast and there are no "itchy palms" there. Luggage belts work and baggage trolleys are free. We even have well-stacked duty free shops in arrival lounges. What more do we need?
Just one thing: a commute between the two terminals!
If the access road gets flooded, what can airport authorities do?
Indonesians should get rid of their inferiority complex and be proud of what they have built.
