I love the information on this thread.
We are also taking a trip to Raja Ampat in December '23, though it looks like we will miss you, @Kickabok. Our itinerary is LAX-Singapore, Singapore-Jakarta, with an 11-hour layover at the Aston. Then on to Sorong to board the White Manta on Dec. 2-9. Ferrying to Waigeo on the 9th to search for the Wilson's Bird of Paradise and other birds, ferry back on the 12th with an overnight in Sorong at the Aston Hotel, then the 13th - 20th at the Misool Eco Resort, then a final overnight at the Aston.
The only thing that worries me is on our way home, we are flying Garuda from Sorong to Jakarta, with about a 4-hour layover for our Singapore Airlines flight from Jakarta to Singapore. I don't care about luggage delays on our way home, but I would hate to miss the flight!
