"When using a credit card (CC) abroad or for international transactions, you should always choose the local currency (e.g., Euro if in Europe, Rupees if in India) rather than having the merchant convert it to your home currency"

• Better Exchange Rates: Choosing the local currency ensures your credit card network (Visa, Mastercard) performs the conversion, which is generally much more favorable than the exchange rate offered by the merchant.
• Avoid Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC): If you choose to pay in your home currency, the merchant or ATM operator uses a process called DCC. They set their own, often unfavorable, exchange rates and may add hidden markup fees, resulting in a higher total cost.
• Avoid Double Conversion Fees: Choosing your home currency can sometimes trigger a "double hit," where you pay both a bad conversion rate and an additional conversion fee.

the credit card is from europe but the price is in rupiah from their website, although this time for the first time I see they allow you to choose to pay in rupiah or in euro, that is what confuse me, ok so I better to pay in rupiah. terimakasi

Another advantage of Emirates is that they have good sleepover options within the terminal building. It's quite expensive but it makes all the difference to be able to have a full night sleep in between two seven hour flights.
Having said that if I did it now I would probably be up all night listening for the sound of missiles!

I think being chained to only one airline is a big disadvantage.

Look at price differentials between a one way and RT ticket. I went back to the US for almost 5 months recently, and went on one way tickets. Sent my 13 year old back by herself on a Starlux flight, with only a single stop in Taipei. About $600. Got all my medical appointments done by the end of March, so decided to go home sooner.

Award tickets are the most flexible, usually. I found a single business class award coming back in May on Starlux (using Alaska Air miles), but decided to return in April. I just refunded the ticket, and got my miles back.

Europe has many better priced flights to Indonesia, compared to Indonesia to US. Also look at DPS-CGK-Europe flights. I wouldn’t do an overnight in SIN.
