I did the trip on this train from Surabaya to Jakarta via Yogyakarta in October 2023. I enjoyed the trip. The compartment carriage was basically empty from Surabaya to Yogyakarta, it then filled up from Yogyakarta to Jakarta. I think it is a great alternative to business class flights (provided you have plenty of time). The scenery on the route through central Java is better than the route along the northern coast (however it takes more time). Highly recommended. I will definitely do it again in 2024.

From the Yogyakarta's city proper to the airport can get you between 1 to 1.5 hours, plus 1.5 hours to check in, 1.5 hours of flight and 30-45 minutes for your luggages if you have some. The time difference is marginal.

The Indonesia Train revolution is amaze me, even for me as Indonesian. I remember when 2010s people can ride train without ticket, broken toilet, and people can selling their stuff on the train. Then, 2015s i shocked the train station system so organized, people without ticket cannot enter the peron. At 2021 i ride train economy class, but everything is clean. The toilet is working and clean. There is air conditioner. Im proud with KAI

As to the heated seats, Indonesia may feel comparatively hot for foreigners from cooler climates, but the locals may feel cold from time to time. I saw a video of Thais wearing winter clothing when the temps dropped below 21C.

But the issue of equal distribution of infrastructure and public services nationally must remain a top priority. That's why the government in the current era really emphasizes that development is not concentrated only on Java but also on other islands. Of course, it has its own challenges because Indonesians are moving in droves and settling in Java after completing high school, both in continuing their high school to university and also looking for work when they graduate. The visionary thinking of state leaders must be a strong basis for implementing equitable distribution but also paying attention to the demographic behavior of each region.
The best country to travel right now is Indonesia. I'm from Singapore. Love Indonesia and its people and everything
Thats one expensive juice, nice! Great video, makes me wanna travel to jogja by this fascinating suite compartment.

Re: heating, sometimes it can get cold in Indonesia, for Indonesian standard anyway. There were times in the past when executive trains in Indonesia can get quite cold, because they run the AC in full blast. Back in the '00s I would need jacket and such heavy clothing to ride (executive) train. That wasn't the case anymore, train nowadays aren't so cold even with the AC. Kind a bit hot sometimes even. Still, the heating is probably provided just in case some Indonesians feel certain day's weather and AC is too cold.
