CGK–SUB Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Jakarta to Surabaya: Java's Premier Domestic Route
CGK-SUB is one of Indonesia's highest-traffic air corridors, connecting the capital to East Java's largest city. Over 25 daily nonstops spread across Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, Citilink, and Super Air Jet. The 430-mile flight takes about 1 hour 35 minutes. Competition keeps fares low, and travelers can choose between full-service (Garuda) and several low-cost options depending on baggage and service preferences.
Surabaya is the gateway to East Java and Bali overland. Juanda Airport sits 20 km south of the city center with good road connections. For Jakarta departures, check terminal assignments carefully: Garuda uses Terminal 3, Lion is in Terminal 1, and Citilink operates from Terminal 2. The rail alternative takes 9 to 10 hours but is popular for travelers who want to see Java's interior landscape without flying.
