Ojek (motorcycle taxis) are available for a lower fare of around IDR 50,000\u201375,000 for those with light luggage At street level, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Saumlaki-Yamdena Island rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Soekarno\u2013Hatta International, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Garuda Indonesia, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. That makes weather and daylight the real constraints, with the village or resort side of the trip doing most of the work.\n\nMany local hotels also offer pre-arranged shuttle services, which is highly recommended for a smoother arrival For a clean handoff, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Saumlaki-Yamdena Island rather than a place to wait around.
