Flights with a layover, often in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, usually range from 10 to 14 hours total. The return flight from Sydney to Jakarta is similar in duration, roughly 7 hours nonstop." }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jakarta to Sydney?", "answer": "Yes, Qantas and Garuda Indonesia both fly non‑stop from Jakarta (CGK) to Sydney, each with 14 flights a week — daily service with two departures most days. Qantas typically departs around 19:50 and 20:45, while Garuda's flights leave around 23:45 and 23:55.

Public buses and shuttle buses operated by DAMRI and TransJakarta also serve the airport, offering a low-cost option but with longer travel times due to congestion.
