Ways to save money on flights to Jakarta

Peak season in Jakarta is between June and August and that’s when the airfare is at its highest. Plan to travel in spring (March to May) or fall (September to November) when the airfare is at its lowest and you won’t be running into crowds either.

Book your ticket ahead of time, regardless of when you plan to visit. Check various websites and don’t forget to sign up for newsletters from airlines flying into Jakarta.

If there are no non-stop options from your city to Jakarta or the rates seem too high, try connecting via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, as there are plenty of flights from these two cities and the rates are very low.
