Balikpapan is the main gateway to East Kalimantan and the new capital Nusantara, and four airlines fly there from Yogyakarta.

Departure: Yogyakarta International Airport (Kulon Progo, about 45 km from the city centre) (YIA)

Flights from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan leave from Yogyakarta International Airport (Kulon Progo, about 45 km from the city centre) (YIA), serving Yogyakarta - yogyakarta is the cultural heart of Java, with the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, the sultan's palace and Malioboro street. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The airport train runs from YIA to Yogyakarta (Tugu) Station in roughly 35 to 40 minutes and suits a hotel near Tugu or Malioboro with a light bag; a private car is better for Sleman, Borobudur, Kaliurang or Parangtritis, for families and for luggage.

  • Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Yogyakarta International Airport (Kulon Progo, about 45 km from the city centre)
  • Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
  • Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
  • Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly

Arrival: Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport (BPN) (BPN) and getting into Balikpapan

You arrive at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport (BPN) (BPN). Bali has no rail and the public Trans Metro Dewata buses stop far from most villas; ride-hailing is restricted at the airport, so a pre-booked car with a name board is the normal arrival, and a Sprinter or minivan the choice for a family with surfboards. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Balikpapan, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many travellers continue from Balikpapan to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight

Before you compare the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours can provide the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

  • Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
  • Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
  • Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
  • Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan

Families fly the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Balikpapan when you land

Balikpapan is the oil and port city of East Kalimantan, the main gateway to the new capital Nusantara and the Borneo rainforest. Start with Tanah Lot sea temple, the Tegallalang rice terraces and Ubud Monkey Forest and market, then Mount Batur sunrise trek and Tirta Empul water temple. A tip from our desk: Villa addresses in Canggu, Ubud and Uluwatu are often down narrow lanes - send the villa name and a map pin, and the driver will find the gate.

If you want the days in Balikpapan organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it through WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan

The dry season runs from April to October, with July, August and the year-end holidays busiest; the airport road towards Seminyak and Canggu is slow in the late afternoon in every season. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from Balikpapan to Yogyakarta

We book the return leg from Balikpapan to Yogyakarta just as easily, normally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan?

The cost of a flight from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

  • Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
  • Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
  • Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
  • Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
  • Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan?" many times a day; the answer for your dates comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan

On the flight from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan you can choose between Lion Air, Citilink, Pelita Air and Super Air Jet. A full-service airline typically includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

  • Lion Air - Yogyakarta to Balikpapan
  • Citilink - Yogyakarta to Balikpapan
  • Pelita Air - Yogyakarta to Balikpapan

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Can I book the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight for a group?

Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.

Which airlines fly from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan?

On this route: Lion Air, Citilink, Pelita Air and Super Air Jet. Fares, departure times and baggage rules differ between them, so we compare all of them for your dates and send the sensible options side by side.

How early should I be at Yogyakarta International Airport (Kulon Progo, about 45 km from the city centre)?

About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.

Are there direct flights from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan?

Of course. Lion Air, Citilink, Pelita Air and Super Air Jet operate non-stop flights from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan daily, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.

Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?

It depends on the carrier and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest generally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.

What is the cheapest flight from Yogyakarta to Balikpapan?

Normally a mid-week departure booked well ahead, on whichever airline has the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Give us flexible dates on the form and we search the cheapest Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight across all of them.

What is the difference between economy and business class?

Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and usually a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.

Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?

We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Balikpapan to Yogyakarta, or onward flights from Balikpapan - and puts it all on one booking.

Do children and infants need a ticket?

Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.

What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.

Is baggage included in the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight ticket?

It depends on the fare: full-service fares usually include a checked bag, low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. We tell you exactly what is included before you book and add a suitcase at the cheaper booking rate if you need one.

When is the best time to book the Yogyakarta to Balikpapan flight?

As soon as your dates are fixed. Low fare tiers open months ahead and rise as seats sell; holidays and summer departures fill first.

Which airport do I fly from in Yogyakarta?

Departures are from Yogyakarta International Airport (Kulon Progo, about 45 km from the city centre) (YIA). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your accommodation to the airport.
