Cheap Flights from Jakarta to Surabaya — $55

Jakarta is served primarily by Soekarno–Hatta International (CGK), the city’s major international and domestic hub that typically handles full-service carriers and many long-haul flights, and Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP), a smaller airport used more often for domestic, business, and some budget services. CGK sits about 20–30 km northwest of central Jakarta and usually takes around 45–90 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; airport rail links can shave travel to roughly 35–50 minutes with fares typically in the low single-digit USD equivalent. HLP is closer to central neighborhoods (around 10–15 minutes without heavy traffic) and can offer faster access but more limited international connections. Pros: CGK offers extensive facilities and many route options; HLP can be quicker for domestic business trips. Cons: road travel to both can be highly variable due to congestion, and transfers between the two require extra time and planning.

Surabaya is primarily served by Juanda International Airport (SUB), the city’s main international and domestic gateway located about 12–20 km southeast of the city center in Sidoarjo regency. It typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers as well as budget airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. Ground links include taxis and ride-hailing services (roughly 30–60 minutes to central Surabaya, fares commonly varying by route and demand), airport shuttles and private transfers, plus limited bus services that may take 45–90 minutes. Pros: relatively modern terminal facilities and broad route connectivity; cons: occasional congestion at peak times and a bit of distance from some central neighborhoods, which can add transfer time.

In different months, ticket prices from Jakarta to Surabaya vary: minimum — $65 (February 2026), maximum — $76 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $70–$145.
