WIII/CGK - Jakarta - FM7 - May 2024

The FM7 hotel again had my arrival details, and along with another customer were met and walked to their shuttle bus which was at the far end of the domestic terminal. However they disappointed with the room.  Rooms 201-207 / 267-281 (all odd numbers only) would give views towards the 6/7L climb out or the 24/25R approach. I was allocated a room facing away from the airport, which not a disaster meant it was harder work.  They were using 7L/7R for departures and 7L departures were visible: some turned left early so as my needs dwindled I was tending to walk round to the conference reception area to guarantee seeing those departures. When they swapped to arrivals on the 25s/26 they were too low to be seen from the room through all the foliage that surrounds this hotel so had to walk to a window or outside to guarantee seeing those arrivals.  It al got a lot easier, albeit in the dark so needing techno spotting aids, when the rooftop bar opened at 17:00.  Despite requests for a room swap for the second night or for the roof to be opened earlier, both were refused.  Social media comments from spotter friends suggests varied experiences with this hotel – some people have it great, others not.
