Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) serves Medan as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, positioned to handle full-service carriers and regional budget airlines alike. Located about 40–45 km east of Medan city center, travel time by car or taxi is typically 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often ranging from roughly IDR 100k–200k; express shuttle buses and private transfers are also common and can be cheaper for groups. The airport is generally modern and well-equipped for international connections, though the distance from downtown can add time and cost. For travelers prioritizing convenience, the on-site facilities and frequent flight options are a plus; those on tight budgets should factor in transfer time and fares into trip planning.

Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s typically busier and seen as mid-to-upper range in facilities and retail options. Don Mueang (DMK) operates largely as a budget and domestic gateway where low-cost carriers concentrate, often offering lower fares on regional routes. Suvarnabhumi is about 30–40 km east of central Bangkok; the Airport Rail Link takes roughly 30 minutes to the city center with fares usually in the low single digits (USD-equivalent), while taxis can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic for a mid-range fare. Don Mueang sits about 20–25 km north; shuttle buses plus commuter trains or taxis reach central districts in roughly 30–60 minutes, often at lower fares than Suvarnabhumi transfers. Pros: Suvarnabhumi is convenient for international connections and modern services; Don Mueang can be quicker for budget travelers and short-haul flights. Cons: both can be affected by heavy Bangkok traffic for road transfers, and switching airports for connections may add transfer time and logistics.

In different months, ticket prices from Medan to Bangkok vary: minimum — $59 (December 2025), maximum — $60 (February 2026). Typically, the flight costs $60–$60.
