International Symposium On The Languages Of Java
15-16 August 2007
Semarang, Java, Indonesia

Getting There
Semarang is relatively easy to access from almost any entry point into Indonesia. It is the fourth largest city in Java, being the island with the most developed and extensive transport system. In addition to regular rail and bus links from all major cities in Java (Jakarta, Bandung, Yogya, Surabaya), and ferry/boat links with most of the other major islands (this for the truly intrepid), there are plenty of air options. Most domestic and international carriers go through Jakarta. There are also a couple of international connections listed below. For many domestic carriers, online booking is not yet available. You can book flights online for the following airlines.
