Quiet, the choice of public transport to Pulau Weh is so diverse and available in varying levels of pricing. This time, Kompas Travel will describe the route to Sabang, Pulau Weh starting from Jakarta.
Jakarta-Aceh
Take a flight to Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, Aceh. The price of a normal airfare from Jakarta to Aceh is around Rp 600,000, if the holiday season ticket prices go up to two-fold.
Alternatively, if you do not get a plane ticket cheaply to Aceh or instead you get a plane ticket promo, try taking a flight to Kuala Namu, North Sumatra. Then take an inter-city bus from Medan to Banda Aceh which is set at a rate of approximately Rp 200,000. Travel time from Medan to Banda Aceh is 12 hours.
Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport-Ulee Lheue Port
Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport is located in Blang Bintang District, Aceh Besar. The distance is about an hour to the city of Banda Aceh. While Ulee Lheue Port is located in the city of Banda Aceh. So if you want to get to the port from the airport, alternatively there are four, namely taxi, damri, motor rickshaw, and labi-labi (typical Aceh vehicles).
The fourth tariff is different. Taxis are adjusted by the meter. Damri from Airport to Banda Aceh Rp 20.000, motor rickshaws in accordance with the offer, and the labi-labi has the price charter (if the entourage) and individual prices.
Finding a motor rickshaw and Labi-labi is rather difficult in the airport complex. For that walk out of the airport complex to find two such transportation.
