Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) serves Medan as the city’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for northern Sumatra, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside several low-cost airlines. It lies roughly 40–45 km east of downtown Medan, with travel time typically around 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Options include airport shuttle buses and ride-hailing taxis (fares usually from moderate to economical), plus private transfers and rental cars. Pros: modern facilities, straightforward immigration and baggage flows, and good onward connections. Cons: the longer distance to the city center can add time and cost compared with smaller airports closer in.
Jakarta is served mainly by Soekarno–Hatta International (CGK), the city’s primary international and full-service hub handling most long-haul and domestic flights, and Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP), a smaller airport often used for regional, private and some low-cost services. CGK is around 20–30 km northwest of central Jakarta; travel time by taxi or ride-hail can be 45–90 minutes depending on traffic, with airport train and shuttle options offering faster or more predictable journeys during peak hours. HLP lies much closer, about 10 km southeast, typically 20–40 minutes by road. Fares vary by mode — commuter rail or airport train is generally the more economical option while taxis and app-based cars add convenience. Pros: CGK provides extensive connectivity and facilities; HLP can be quicker for eastside access. Cons: Both can be affected by heavy Jakarta traffic and busy terminals at peak times.
