Visit Palangkaraya, Central Borneo (Again)

I just landed at Palangkaraya, and not much change on the infrastructure here after 1 year from my last visit. Palangkaraya is capital city of Central Borneo Province. The funny things, when I updated status of my Twitter account, the GPS said that I was at West Borneo.

I went to Palangkaraya by Lion Air's flight from Yogyakarta with flight number JT-567 (10/July) with aircraft registration PK-LHL depart at 15.50 GMT+7. Few minutes before landed to Jakarta, pilot announced that the aircraft will go around because only one Jakarta (CGK) runway serviceable. There was an aircraft blocked the north runway. After few minuter go round, pilot announced that the runway service back to normal. We landed safely at 17.00 GMT+7 at gate 1A. Flight from Jakarta (CGK) to Palangkaraya (PKY) by Lion Air is from gate 1B, so we waiting for Lion Air's shuttle bus to move us from 1A to 1B.



Gate 1B very crowded, and then we boarded JT-678 at 20.00, delayed 25 minutes from schedule 19.35 GMT+7. We used aircraft with registration PK-LHU, brand new aircraft with Boeing Sky Interior.





As low cost carier, Lion Air doesn't provide meal as default service. We can buy them on board with flat rate Rp. 10.000 each item.



Then we landed safely at Palangkaraya (PKY) at 22.00 GMT+7.
