Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Jakarta’s main international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, typically serving full-service carriers and many regional and long-haul flights; it can be perceived as mid- to upper-range on fares compared with smaller Indonesian airports. Located about 20–30 km northwest of central Jakarta, travel times by taxi or ride-hail are usually 45–90 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from moderate to higher end for metered rides; the airport rail link offers a faster 30–40 minute connection to Sudirman or BNI City for a budget-friendly fare. Facilities tend to be comprehensive with lounges and many dining options, though peak-hour congestion and long transfer walks can be drawbacks for time-pressed travelers. Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP) functions mainly as a domestic and business aviation airport and can be a convenient choice for regional carriers, some domestic full-service flights, and charter services. Sitting roughly 10–15 km east of the city center, travel times are often 20–45 minutes by car without heavy traffic, and taxi or ride-hail fares are usually lower than trips to CGK; there is no dedicated airport rail link, so surface transport is the primary option. The airport is typically quieter and quicker for check-in and transfers, which can be an advantage for short-haul or business travelers, though it offers fewer international connections and limited retail and dining variety compared with Soekarno-Hatta.
