Scootin’ off from Jogja YIA 🛫
The end of a holiday is always a bittersweet moment as the end of one trip always means that we can start looking forward to the next one already 😂
As I depart from Yogyakarta with Scoot TR201, I thought it might be useful to others to document my experience here.
Arriving at Yogyakarta airport (YIA) on the airport express train, it is just a short walk and a few escalators up to the departure concourse. Today’s check-in counter was at B17-19. While I have already performed online check-in and had a mobile boarding pass, I wanted to tag this flight to my Krisflyer frequent flyer account. This could be done at the counter. At the counter, the staff also offered to check-in my hand carry baggge as Scoot was trying to alleviate the space crunch. Forward thinking by Scoot 👍
Once they was done, we whizzed over to airport security as there was not much to do in the departure concourse. Past airport security, there are a couple of shops and restaurants including Starbucks, Circle K, De Wave (massage) etc. Also, don’t miss the fantastic views of the runway and the sea from here!
I find YIA’s current airport layout unique as international flights depart only from gates 1C to 1F and there is yet another layer of security check and passport control to get to these gates. The transit area that we first entered was for domestic flights only.
Our flight to Singapore was departing from gate 1E. 1.5 hour to our flight departure, the gantry to these gates opened. In this international transit area, there are no shops, so if you want to get any last minute snack or souvenirs, it would be better to get it in the domestic transit area!
30 mins before scheduled departure, boarding commenced and the ground staff separated us into 2 queues - 1 for board me first passengers, and the other for normal passengers. Boarding was smooth and while cabin locker space was in high demand , it was still sufficient for all passengers. Really kudos to Scoot for encouraging passengers to check-in cabin baggage where possible.
Now, where to next? 🤔

To me, Hong Kong is a city that has so much to offer - culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit Disneyland, the artistic K9 mall at Tsim Sha Tsui, eat the milk pudding at Yee Shun Dairy Co. and...so much more!

Yogyakarta’s 35min Airport Express
The KAI Airport Express from Yogyakarta International Airport to Yogyakarta City was super cool! It was like a fast train ride through the beautiful Indonesian countryside. The seats were comfy and there was plenty of space for my luggage. I loved looking out the window and seeing all the palm trees and rice fields whizzing by. The train was on time, modern and clean, and the staff were really nice and helpful. It was way faster than taking a taxi or bus, so we got to the city in no time! Plus, it was fun to experience something new and different. I would totally recommend the KAI Airport Express to anyone visiting Yogyakarta.

Yogyakarta International Airport
#weekendgetaways
Yogyakarta is a special region in Indonesia, where they have their own king and everything! The airport is recently renovated and was opened back in 2020. Even now arriving in 2023, most of the architecture still looks pretty fresh and modern.
Besides looking at the design of the airport, something to note is how clean it is. There’s not a lot of litter, if not none at all, around the vicinity. And dust is kept to a minimum.
Lastly, the international airport is how organised and smooth the passenger experience is. Right after leaving baggage claim, everything at the arrival hall is labelled so well making it really easy to find your way around. Just fantastic and really much appreciated.

Chill @ Indo vibes popular cafe @ airport
If you have some time to chill or am looking for a place with Indo vibes to dine in upon landing, do check out this cafe with a good range of food and drinks - especially coffee. They have got avocado coffee, Vietnam coffee, etc.
Food is also good, try their nasi ayam goreng

Welcome to the new Jogja Airport
After the Covid-19 long lock down, I eventually have the opportunity to re-visit Yogyakarta again, especially by flight. In this post you will have a glimpse of the Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA).
Of course, this new airport is far away from Yogyakarta city compared to the old airport (Adisucipto International Airport), it’s approximately 1.5-2 hours drive. However, the Keretapi Indonesia (KAI) airport train had well connected to the city, which means you only need 40 minutes to arrive the heart of Yogyakarta with just 20K.

Beautiful Airport
Although i was living in Yogyakarta, this was a first time for me to visit this airport. I love this airport because it’s so pretty. the design is good and modern and it’s way prettier if we compared to the adi sucipto airport. this airport also way bigger compared to Adi sucipto airport. I like this airport and i am eager to visit this airport again soon. The transportation from airport to yogyakarta is also easy because you can book a train or go with public transportation such as small and big bus or you can order online transportation. also if you want to make a quick you can order the taxi although it is more expensive compared to other public transportation

Yogyakarta Airport Kulonprogo
#weekendgetaways in #indonesia , #yogyakarta ! I went on Sunday and it was an impromptu trip to the newest Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) located at Kulonprogo. It's my first time in this city and I have to do some research on it. This place is super far from city, so we have to take express train towards city.
Welcomed by many artistic things and decoration, I can feel this city rich tradition. From its andong display, to the signboard which is still in sanskrit that bring me back towards historical story of old kingdom.
The airport is connected with train station which we can just walk around it. Ticket cost Rp 20,000 or Rp 50,000; the difference is just about 1 stop, cheaper price will stop at Wates station for a while while the expensive one will go directly towards city.
Do note that you have to book faster before its out of stock! Otherwise, travel by taxi will be longer and way more expensive!

Yogyakarta - A First
For someone who loves traveling, it’s quite amusing that I didn’t travel much to see the world. I heard about Yogyakarta a lot from friends and social media. The majestic of its places of interest, the interesting people and its culture. Through YouTube, I learned further about Yogyakarta. Did some research before embarking on a journey of discovery. Finally, a first for me. And I fell in love with Yogyakarta. #Yogyakarta #Jogja

Most beautiful airport in Indonesia💛
Goes to YIA - Yogyakarta International Airport (IMO)
I love how the airport architecture is modern yet still reflected on Indonesia or specifically Yogyakarta culture. You could easily spot indonesian’ culture like the statue at the entrance of the airport, shape of the gate that reflects from Plengkungan Gading that represent gate in and out from Benteng Kraton Yogyakarta~
Definitely my fave airport in Indonesia~

YIA- Yogyakarta International Airport
This is the latest airport for international travellers.
Can buy your train ticket at the airport is super cheaper then using grab or gojek.
Grab and Gojek are the apps for you to book a driver or you can just go to the drop off point to look for any driver that match with your budget.

YIA transportation to City
The new airport of Yogyakarta is very huge and nice, but as we know, the location is pretty far from the city. To reach the city, there is some option we could take as the airport train which depart around every 1.5hour, Damri bus, or private car like grab.
The airport train is very convenience to reach the city and from the city to airport. the price is very cheap, only IDR 20.000,- and every seat have charging station. The train takes 39 mins for one way and definitely the fastest way at the moment to travel between YIA and Yogyakarta city.
