Cheap Flights from Surabaya to Jakarta Starting at $51

Jakarta is served mainly by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK), the country’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers like Garuda Indonesia and international airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and connecting flights. For low-cost or domestic-focused travelers, Jakarta’s Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP) can be used by some budget and charter services. Soekarno–Hatta sits about 20–30 km northwest of central Jakarta — travel times vary from 45 minutes to well over an hour depending on traffic; public rail to the city takes roughly 45–60 minutes (moderate fares), taxis or ride-hailing can be 30–90 minutes with fares that depend on distance and surge pricing. Pros: CGK offers comprehensive facilities, many international connections and frequent flight choice; cons: peak-hour congestion and variable transfer times can make it less predictable. HLP is closer to parts of the city and can be quicker for domestic hops but typically has fewer international options and simpler passenger amenities.

Juanda International Airport (SUB), located in Sidoarjo about 20–25 km south of Surabaya city center, serves as East Java’s main international and domestic gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines. Journey times by taxi or ride-hail to central Surabaya are usually around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from a modest local taxi fare to higher ride-hail prices; airport shuttle buses and occasional hotel transfers can be cheaper alternatives. The airport tends to be practical and functional for both international connections and domestic hops; however, congestion at peak hours and limited rail links can make road transfers less predictable.
