Flying from Jakarta to New York: FAQs
How long should I stay in New York?
Five days should be enough to see all the main sights in New York and get a chance to explore some of the different boroughs of the city. Taking a little longer – a week or two – gives you enough time to really explore the city and all its quirks and neighbourhoods, before heading to gorgeous upstate New York.
How will I get around in New York?
The subway in New York runs 24/7 and connects to most parts of the city. Use Metro cards, available from all stations and many shops, to top up credit. Buses are frequent, as are the city’s iconic yellow taxi cabs. If you’re staying in Manhattan, walking is one of the best ways to soak up the sights and sounds.
Top tips for Jakarta to New York
New York’s soaring skyline
You can get great vantage points of New York’s unmatched skyline from both up high and down low. Dine on the river to watch the city lights turn on, or ascend ‘The Rock’ (Rockefeller Center) or the Empire State Building for a bird’s eye view.
There are numerous restaurants and nightspots that accompany their dishes with views that are just as delicious – ask an insider or local for the latest tips.
Delve into NYC culture
Like Jakarta, New York is proud of its cultural heritage. The family-orientated Three Kings Day Parade and century-old New York Boat Show take place in January. Chinese New Year celebrations are marked in February, as is the three-week long International Children’s Festival. Summer brings many free outdoor shows, such as the Museum Mile Festival in June and Macy’s famous firework display on July 4 – while Central Park becomes a winter wonderland in time for the December festive season.
