Bekasi and Surabaya are on the same island, but the practical choice is to fly: travelers from Bekasi usually take a domestic flight from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Tangerang to Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya. Lion Air, Super Air Jet, Batik Air, Citilink, Pelita Air and Garuda Indonesia fly non-stop between Jakarta and Surabaya.[1]

Bekasi to Surabaya by Flight

A non-stop flight takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, and the lowest fare shown on AirAsia's route page was IDR 773,722 (October 2026). Sample fares for 20 October 2026 ran from about IDR 889,000 to IDR 1,100,000, with departures between 03:35 and 18:30.[1] Baggage rules differ by airline and fare, so check what your ticket includes.

The flight time does not include the trip from Bekasi to the airport, check-in, baggage claim or the transfer from Juanda airport, which is outside the center of Surabaya. These parts can take longer than the flight itself.

Getting from Bekasi to the Airport

Bekasi is on the other side of Greater Jakarta from Soekarno-Hatta, so the road trip depends on traffic. KAI Commuter runs KRL trains between Bekasi or Cikarang and Jakarta Kota,[2] and its airport service (Commuter Line Basoeta) calls at Manggarai, Sudirman Baru/BNI City, Duri and Batu Ceper before the airport.[3] Check the KRL route planner for the best interchange from your Bekasi station. Commuter Line fares start at Rp3,000 for the first 25 km, plus Rp1,000 for each further 10 km,[4] and the airport service costs more (Rp70,000 from the airport to Duri, BNI City or Manggarai in November 2024).[5]

Citilink domestic flights use Terminal 1B at Soekarno-Hatta;[6] other airlines can use other terminals, so check your booking. Plan to arrive 2 to 3 hours before departure.[1]

Arriving in Surabaya

Juanda airport is outside the city center, so decide how you will continue before you land. A hotel in central Surabaya, a train station, a bus terminal and an onward trip to Malang or Mount Bromo each need a different transfer. If a driver or host is meeting you, send your flight number and agree on the pickup point.

Tips for Traveling from Bekasi to Surabaya

  • Plan the Bekasi to airport leg first. It crosses Greater Jakarta and can be the least predictable part of the day.
  • Check your terminal. Airlines do not all use the same terminal at Soekarno-Hatta.
  • Compare baggage rules. The cheapest fares may not include checked baggage.
  • Agree the Surabaya pickup point. Juanda airport, a train station and a bus terminal are in different parts of the region.
