How to travel around Indonesia by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Indonesia

  • Check domestic baggage with the operating airline
    Garuda Indonesia lists prepaid-baggage and FAQ entry points. For domestic segments, confirm included baggage, purchase conditions and change rules with the operating carrier rather than using old allowances.
  • Domestic destination reference
    Garuda Indonesia's 2025 Sustainability Report lists 45 domestic destinations: 25 in the western region and 20 in the eastern region. Use this annual network figure as a scope reference; confirm your travel dates and airport pair with the airline.

Arriving from another country

  • Check the All Indonesia declaration before arrival
    The Indonesian immigration site directs international arrivals to the All Indonesia declaration platform. Check the current process for your status and entry point and separately confirm applicable visas or permits.
