And the tax in each airport is different. For example in Soekarno Hatta International terminal (Jakarta), you have to pay IDR 150,000. But in Polonia International terminal (Medan), you have to pay IDR 75,000.Rika The Lost Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805985735571038088noreply@blogger.com
