£604 to Jakarta: strong pound, £100 of spending costs just £29
A fare in line with February prices, but the exchange rate is 11.6% better than a year ago and the cost of living is low.
The fare and the money
£604 return. That was the fare seen on 6 November for Jakarta from Manchester, with one stop on Turkish Airlines, out on Monday 1 February and back on Monday 8 February.
The exchange rate is the main reason to go now. StreetOwl rates the Indonesian rupiah as Great value, 96 out of 100, and the pound is 11.6% stronger than a year ago. It is also cheap to be there: £100 of UK spending costs about £29 in Indonesia. The fare itself is in line with February prices; similar trips usually cost £540–£780.
Jakarta in February
Wikivoyage describes Jakarta as "Indonesia's capital and largest city... making it the largest city in Southeast Asia."
Pack for the heat and rain: on average, February brings daytime highs around 29 °C, nights around 23 °C and about 289 mm of rain over the month (1970–2000 averages, not a forecast). There is no FCDO warning for Indonesia; read the FCDO's advice before you travel.
