Yogyakarta Kulonprogo International Airport (YIA) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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

Grand Dafam Signature Intl Airport Yogyakarta Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Grandma Dafam Signature Airport Yogyakarta 🇮🇩
#hotelreview
Staying here was actually unintention, since this is the 2nd time visiting jogja, and we know nothing about the city's condition after pandemic. We thought staying one night here would be costly efficient since it's really close to the airport and we heard the hotel provides shuttle to the YIA for free and it has!
Turned out our decision to stay is one of the best decision we made during our vacation in Jogja.
This is a new hotel (absolutely!), the room is clean and as we expect, the bed is huge, more than enough for 3 persons. However, I wish they provide more hook hanger to hang towels or wet shirts, etc.
We order room+breakfast for 2 persons, so as we came with kids, additional charge is given 100k for our son to enjoy the breakfast buffet with us and the buffet is superb! Meet our local appetite, the western breakfast is standard tho.
Before the breakfast, we got a chance to do some excercises in the GYM, with a nice view of paddy field!
We appreciate the hotel staff for being kind and friendly!
Note: this hotel is not for "kaum mendang mending" 😁👍
