On arrival you will be met by representatives for the short drive to the Bandara Airport Hotel.

Your Garuda Indonesia charter flight departs around midday, so you have time for an early morning swim before the Bandara Airport Hotel staff return you to Jakarta Airport (a mere 15 minutes away).

Your flight to Christmas Island will only take around 50 minutes.

On arrival at Christmas Island Airport, once you are through immigration (a speedy but thorough affair at this rather ’boutique’ airport) your 4×4 hire car will be waiting for you outside the airport.

Rather unusually you will find your car waiting for you with the keys in the ignition, and your name tucked under a windscreen wiper. This is the established way of hiring cars on Christmas Island, where crime is not an issue! Using the map we’ve provided make your way down the largely empty roads to The Sunset. Don’t worry if you get lost, you can ask anyone you see.

It’s worth driving slowly on Christmas Island just in case you come across any crabs, and it’s not uncommon to spot a number of the island’s endemic bird species on the short drive to your hotel.

Sadly your time in Christmas Island is over. Make your way back to the airport, leaving your 4×4 hire car as you found it (with the keys in the ignition!).

Upon arrival in Jakarta the familiar Bandara Airport Hotel staff will be waiting for you for your brief journey to the hotel.

However, if you are extending your stay in Indonesia (and Bali is but a brief 95 minute flight away!) you can pick up your luggage and check-in for your onward flight.

Your onward flight is waiting for you. Most world class airlines fly to Jakarta, so you will have a variety of options, with a number of day flights if you would prefer to arrive back into the U.K this evening.
