Jakarta is served primarily by Soekarno–Hatta International (CGK), the city’s main international hub handling both full-service and low-cost carriers, with Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP) used more for domestic, government and some regional services. Soekarno–Hatta is about 20–25 km northwest of central Jakarta; travel by taxi or ride-hail typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on traffic, with metered fares or app prices that can vary widely. Rail links include the Airport Rail Link which can reach the city in roughly 45 minutes for a modest fare, while buses are slower but cheaper. Pros: broad international connectivity and many passenger facilities at CGK; cons: frequent congestion and potentially long transfer times. Halim is closer to the center (around 8–12 km), so it can be quicker for domestic trips but offers fewer amenities and international services.
Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) serves as Medan’s main international gateway and a regional hub for Sumatra, handling both full-service and low-cost carriers such as Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air and Batik Air. Located about 40–45 km east of Medan city center, transfer times typically range from 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic; taxis and app-based rides are common and fares can typically fall in a mid-range band, while private shuttles and limited bus services offer cheaper but slower options. The airport is modern and relatively comfortable with duty-free and lounges, but the distance from downtown can add time and cost for onward travel. For domestic-only or smaller operators, Polonia Airport was historically used but most commercial flights now route through Kualanamu.
