Cheap Flights from Bangkok to Medan — $61

Bangkok is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s typically more modern and can be pricier for parking and services but offers extensive international connections. Don Mueang (DMK) is Bangkok’s low-cost/domestic gateway, commonly used by budget airlines and often cheaper for fares. Suvarnabhumi sits about 30–35 km east of downtown Bangkok; expect 30–60 minutes by airport rail link or taxi depending on traffic, with rail fares roughly 35–150 THB and taxis 300–700 THB including tolls. Don Mueang is around 20–25 km north; travel times are typically 25–50 minutes by taxi or shuttle, fares often 200–500 THB. Pros: Suvarnabhumi provides wider amenities, more lounges and frequent international services; Don Mueang can be quicker for domestic flights and easier for budget travelers. Cons: Both airports can be affected by Bangkok traffic and transfers between them may take over an hour, so allow extra time for connections.

Fly direct from Bangkok to Medan for the quickest, most convenient way to reach North Sumatra — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop option saves valuable time and tends to be far more comfortable, so book a direct flight to streamline your journey.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Bangkok to Medan is $77 (May 2026), while the maximum is $130 (March 2026). On average, a ticket costs $87–$95.

Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) serves as Medan’s primary international gateway and is typically positioned as the region’s major full‑service hub, handling both long‑haul and domestic flights; low‑cost carriers also operate here on many routes. The airport sits about 40–45 km northeast of Medan city center, with drive times commonly around 45–75 minutes depending on traffic. Transport options include airport taxis and app-based ride services (fares usually higher than local transit), shared minibuses and private transfers, plus occasional hotel shuttles. Pros: newer facilities, more flight options and better onward connections. Cons: longer transfer distance to central Medan and variable road congestion that can add time and cost.
