The rail network in Java, Indonesia is an awesome way to travel around the island in comfort. I've had good experiences so far when taking the airport rail link, the commuter line train and an executive cabin train.
Today I had an even better experience, by travelling in the 'Luxury Executive' cabin on a 3 hour journey from Bandung to Jakarta. This costs $25 compared to the $10 seats in the 'Executive' cabins.
Is the difference in price worth it? I think so. In the luxury cabin there's a 1-2 seating configuration, compared to the 2-2 executive configuration. This means a third more width and if you're travelling solo, like me, then you can book a seat alone, without having to sit next to a stranger.
You get a meal and a snack box in the luxury cabin, compared to just a bottle of water in executive. There's also in-flight entertainment, or should that be in-rail entertainment, through the TVs embedded in the back of the seats.
The seats are more cushioned and comfier. They have more recline than the executive cabin seats and recline electronically.
All in all, I was very impressed with the luxury travel experience on Indonesia's trains. The value for money is incredible and so I'll be travelling by rail whenever I get the opportunity, while in Java.
As for the reason why I was travelling back to Jakarta, it was to meet with my friend Ryan aka ‪@BuleBolang‬. Ryan is experienced at trekking through the jungles in Indonesia and invited me to do a 3-day hike with him.
The bags are packed and we're well prepared. See you guys on the next video for the extreme jungle trek at Gunung Salak.
