Plan around local peaks in Semarang
Weather and season: Tidal flooding can affect the port area. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In Indonesia, Lebaran (Idul Fitri) with extended collective leave and congestion before and after can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
