💡 Use Gojek for short hops (under 5 km)—the app is reliable in Jember. For airport runs, request a 'GoCar' (car) if you have luggage; drivers might ask for cash for longer distances.
Banyuwangi Airport (BWX) → Terminal Tawang Alun, Jember
💡 Bus stops near the terminal, not at JC Homestay. From Terminal Tawang Alun, take an ojek (motorcycle taxi) for 15,000 IDR to the homestay.
Banyuwangi Airport (BWX) or Surabaya Airport (SUB) → JC Homestay, Jember
💡 Book via JC Homestay directly for a fixed price; drivers often speak limited English, so have your destination written in Indonesian.
Jember Station → Banyuwangi Ketapang Station
💡 Cheapest way to reach Banyuwangi, but the train is slow and often crowded. Buy tickets at the station or via KAI Access app; book economy class for under 60,000 IDR.
