There are no nearby factory outlets near Jakarta airport.. There are a few in the city centre but they are not recommended if you only have 8 hours in Jakarta..

Alternatively, you can check out nearby shopping malls such as Pluit Village or Emporium Pluit which is relatively near to the airport.. Still, its quite rush though..

Remember to allow at least 1/2 hours or more each way and 2 hours for check in the airport.. Out of curiosity, on which day and time will you be arriving in Jakarta??

Cheers.... a

Yes, we have already calculated the 2 hours check in for flight. And factored in the travel time also, so we really have a free 8hours time.

We will be leaving monday

Even shopaholics would have to take local peculiarities into consideration while planning a trip. Even if your life depends on it....there is VERY little profit in paying 260 k IDR ( taxi return trip to/ from airport) for staying in the traffic jams ( for hours) and purchasing a single T-shirt for 50 k IDR or so as RESULT.

Monday is a bit tough to navigate around. If you are connecting to flights leaving to Manila which usually departs in midnight, instead of factory outlets, I recommend to visit local department stores. You may try Mall Taman Anggrek or Mall Ciputra Jakarta. It will be roughly a 30-40mins ride if there is no heavy traffic jam. Make sure to avoid rush hours between 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm

For 8 hours, you have plenty of time to go to Pluit Village or Emporium Pluit. Both are malls and have a department stores. Matahari (middle end) is in Pluit Village and Sogo (middle to upperscale) is in Emporium. And no, return taxi fare to either one won't cost you 260,000. 150,000 approximately. Take Bluebird.
