Bringing Keris to Indonesia from Overseas

It did not occur to me that you might fly back into Yogya. I'd guess that Customs might be a bit easier to get along with there than in some other places.

But I really do find the location of the new airport pretty inconvenient. The old one was more or less OK for me --- I need to go to Solo after landing at Yogya --- but that journey to Solo from the new airport really is not great at all, especially after adding on the lead time at Ngurah Rai.

It has made the journey to Solo pretty difficult to do in a day from Sydney. Yeah, I could use other airlines than Garuda, but those other airlines come with pretty big negatives.
