2. Upon Arrival and Departure at the Adisucipto International Airport, Yogyakarta

a. VISA Delegates holding passport from the ASEAN-member nations, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR can proceed to Foreign Immigration Desk as they are eligible for entry to Indonesia without visa fees for 30 days. Nationals from other nations should proceed to the booth marked Visa on Arrival, located on the right side of the terminal entrance from the tarmac. Be ready with your US$25 and note that they only accept US currency issued after the year 2000.

b. Transportation to the Hotel

Melia Purosani does not have hotel transfers since the hotel is only 20 minutes from the airport.

Proceed to the Airport Taxi stand near the terminal exit door and book an airport taxi. The attendant at the booth will escort you to what may look like a private car, standard rate is fixed at IDR100,000 (US$10). You can change currency at the airport for taxi fare, but money changers near hotel have better rates.

Metered taxis are also available at the departure area (next door to arrival area),

however, this is more inconvenient and the taxis may take a roundabout route to the hotel in an attempt to overcharge you. If you choose this option, don’t pay more than IDR50,000 for a trip to the hotel.

Minimum rate for taxis in Yogyakarta is IDR15,000 for short trips, even if meter may show a lesser amount.

c. Departure Yogyakarta airport charges a IDR100,000 terminal fee for international flights and IDR40,000 for domestic flights (Jakarta, Denpasar).
