Forget your dreams of an exotic island paradise - Banyuwangi is a gritty commercial hub, not a tourist haven. The airport serves just two domestic routes, Jakarta and Surabaya, with a measly 307,157 passengers passing through in 2018. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with two former regents implicated in $2.8 million worth of corruption during the airport's construction. And while the new terminal boasts an eco-friendly design, the constant noise of pilot training schools suggests this is no peaceful retreat. Banyuwangi is best suited for pragmatic travelers focused on business, not leisure.
