Hi guys We used this airport only leaving Medan.. Only drama we had was buying a ticket.. Luckily a local guy stepped in and got the guy to sell us 4 tickets So my advice is get there early for your ticket BTW there may have been some auto ticket dispensers but with 2 kids and partner waiting closer to train No complaints.
Does Blue Bird taxi have a stand at the airport? It was reported one another forum by an Indonesian guy who happens to be the North Sumatra expert for the forum that the local families and any other hanger ons had been banned from the main entrance. Has this changed? I will ask the guy and get back to everyone. There has been a lot of movement in the IDR downwards so there may be differences in what seems to be right to you. International rates. Sounds like an airport arrivals experience in anyone of thousands of airports across the developing world.
But prostitutes in the arrival hall? Otherwise this is all quite normal for Indo, you need to figure out the best way to get to where you want to go form the airport, and allow time, in case it takes 1 hour to get a visa. That is just how it goes sometimes! In some respects, yes. However the departures experience is significantly improved albeit that the location is less convenient. The old airport was a relic from the past and it needed to be closed.
As with most cities in the world, the new airport is now located outside the city. This simply is not true. Typical journey time is 1 hour. As with any city in the world sometimes there is traffic and it can take more than that, but 1 hour or a little over is the realistic time.
The trains aren't particularly old, they are quite pleasant air-conditioned trains not 'many', they have two, maybe three units and nothing wrong with them at all. I don't know about reliability, but the schedule is not convenient and the price is too high. It's not the end of the world. Every airport money changer in the world gives poor rates IME. This isn't normal. And it wasn't 40 minutes there's just no way. Perhaps you mean 10 minutes but are just exaggerating like the rest of your post.
