Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport (BPN) serves Balikpapan as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines. Flights can be relatively pricier than smaller Indonesian airports due to its hub role for Kalimantan traffic, though bargain options often appear on domestic routes. The airport lies about 15–20 km northwest of downtown Balikpapan; taxis and app-based ride services generally take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and cost around IDR 70,000–150,000, while airport shuttles and hotel transfers can be cheaper or included. Pros: modern facilities and steady connectivity across Kalimantan and Java; cons: travel times to some suburbs and occasional peak-hour congestion.
Kuala Lumpur is served mainly by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), a major international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carriers, and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) near Subang, which often caters to turboprops, regional flights and some budget or business charters. KUL sits about 45–60 km south of the city center and is usually reached in 45–60 minutes by the KLIA Ekspres (about 28–55 MYR) or by buses and taxis where rides can take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic and cost. SZB is roughly 25 km away with taxi or rail-plus-bus options typically under an hour. KUL offers wide international connections and comfort for transfers, while SZB can be quicker for regional travel but has fewer long-haul services and more limited amenities.
