AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Treat any connection here as a full re-check-in, not an airside transfer, since bags must be reclaimed and rechecked.
Flight schedules are limited to a couple of daily departures to Jakarta and Semarang, so a missed connection can mean waiting until the next day.
Arrive early for your onward check-in counter to open, as staffing is minimal outside scheduled departure windows.
There is no international service, so plan any onward international travel through Jakarta or Surabaya instead.
Confirm your bags are tagged only to Pangkalan Bun if buying separate tickets, since there is no interline baggage system here.
