The majority of international flights to Indonesia land in its sprawling capital, Jakarta.

When to book flights to Indonesia?

For visiting Yogyakarta or Jakarta, book flights to Indonesia between May and September. At this time of year, the archipelago enjoys dry weather with temperatures hovering around a pleasant 28°C, making it perfect for exploring ancient temples and bustling cities. In Bali and Lombok, you'll encounter warm, dry beach weather between April and October. Fly to Indonesia during these months if you plan to spend your time sunbathing and snorkelling.

Book your Indonesia plane tickets to travel between April and December if you're keen to spot Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. The Lesser Sunda Islands, including Komodo National Park, have less rainfall during this period, making it easier to spot wildlife.
