M and I just came back from Jakarta.
Why Jakarta you ask? Well, the hotel stay was free courtesy of a travel seminar M attended. All we did was find the cheapest (yes, we're cheapo kids in that way) flights to Jakarta.
It was my first flight on a Lufthansa. It was M's first on a Lufthansa international. He warned me of the service. Verdict : Flight service - ok. Reservations Customer Service - no no. Food - definitely no. The plane itself was archaic in that the economy seat passagers had to endure an hour 10 minutes flight with no entertainment (apart from their in-flight music channel). Imagine those passengers flying from Jakarta to Frankfurt via Singapore?!? We're the lucky ones. Flights just slightly more than an hour each. And we get frequent flyer points. But on a taxi ride home (which in itself is an adventure - tell you all about it another day), we agreed that no more flights on Lufthansa.
Whilst in Jakarta, we stayed in Alila Jakarta. An urban minimalistic hotel in the middle of an old Batavian city. I love the contrast of the 2 in a distance. I loved all the action and activities outside our room window.
All we did was just soak in the atmosphere of the city (yes, that include the smog and pollution emitting from every single vehicle on the roads). ~ Inspira
