seems like there are a lot of confusion in regards to the new airport KNIA (yes its KNIA as in Kuala Namu International Airport. KNO is the destination calling code. when its Polonia the code is MES but we don't call it MES we call it polonia arent we, because that is the airport name)
traffic to and from KNIA is absolutely CRAZY. major traffic jam affecting traffic on jalan raya tanjung morawa, this is the road going to perapat (so even if you are not going to KNIA but going to perapat you still gonna taste a piece of this crazy traffic pie)
on sunday a relative of mine is taking a guest to the airport and it took them 2hr 17min (he had his GPS on smartphone on to track the journey) . on the last sunday before the airport operate this journey took me only 40min.
so all vehicle option going in and out of KNIA (with the exception of the train) is going to be over 2hour.
and with not all the exit gates fully operating a friend is reporting that it took him 50min just to get out of the airport itself.
so i would suggest everyone to leave for the airport 4 hour before your departure time and maybe more if its on a sunday because there will be a huge increase in non flying people taking the trip
EVERYBODY is trying to go and have a taste of the hottest hangout place in town. yes its now the no 1 destination in medan. all the media been reporting how a lot of non flying people having a picnic inside the terminal. sitting on a piece of newspaper and eating out of a lunch box they bring from home. kids playing with the trolley. snack seller being allow inside to sell their product. all this somehow "third world behaviour" is the hottest debated issue on social media right now
