| Class | From | Where it runs |

## Jakarta to Yogyakarta train fares this month

For November 2026, a typical executive seat sells for about Rp 689,000 and a typical economy seat for about Rp 454,000.

**The year-end discount.** KAI takes 30% off commercial economy class on listed trains for departures from 22 December 2026 to 4 January 2027, on sale since 7 November. The trains on the list include Senja Utama Yogyakarta and Fajar Utama Yogyakarta.

## Booking KAI tickets: the app and the December timetable

KAI sells its tickets in the Access by KAI app and at stations, and booking sites resell them. Foreigners book with their passport number in place of the Indonesian ID number and show the original passport at boarding; if you pay by Visa or Mastercard, the cardholder must be one of the passengers.

**Gates and baggage.** The face-recognition gates at Gambir and Yogyakarta register Indonesian ID cards, so use the normal gate with your e-boarding pass. Surfboards are not allowed as train baggage.

**The timetable changes on 1 December 2026.** KAI's new national timetable, GAPEKA 2026, shortens 74 intercity journeys and changes times and stops on many trains. The departures listed are for November 2026; the app has the December ones.

**On board.** Smoking and vaping are banned on every train. You may bring your own food, but not eat it in the dining car. Pregnant women may travel between 14 and 28 weeks; outside that window KAI asks for a doctor's or midwife's letter and a travelling companion.

## Flying to Yogyakarta instead: YIA airport and the airport train

Flights from Soekarno-Hatta take 70 to 80 minutes and land at **YIA**, Yogyakarta International Airport, outside the city. Super Air Jet has the lowest fares for November 2026, from about Rp 720,000, then Batik Air from about Rp 860,000 and Citilink from about Rp 980,000.

**From Halim.** Citilink and FlyJaya also fly from Jakarta's **Halim** airport to **Adisutjipto** airport in Yogyakarta, in 85 minutes, from about Rp 1,385,000.

**From YIA to the city.** The airport train is the quick way: 25 a day, Rp 20,000 on the regular train, about 39 minutes, or Rp 40,000 to Rp 70,000 on the non-stop Xpress. KAI Commuter has run it since 17 September 2026, and tickets are sold in Access by KAI, C-Access or on airport-train.kci.id.

**DAMRI buses from YIA.** They run to Sleman, Condongcatur and the DAMRI pool, about Rp 92,000, one to two hours.

## Arriving at Yogyakarta's Tugu or Lempuyangan station

Your ticket names the station. Gambir trains come into **Tugu**, Yogyakarta's main station; many Pasar Senen trains end at **Lempuyangan**, the city's second station.

**Buses instead.** For November 2026, overnight and day buses from Jakarta to Yogyakarta sell from Rp 178,500, typically about Rp 277,000, but take 7 h 15 min to 16 hours in traffic. The train is quicker.

## Why the trip is worth it: Borobudur, Prambanan and the Kraton

Most people take this train for the temples and the old city. Here is what is waiting at the other end.

- **Borobudur** is what most travellers come for: the great Buddhist monument, 90 minutes from the city, Rp 455,000 for a foreign adult to climb, best booked online.
- **Prambanan's Hindu temples** are a 21-minute ride on the Rp 8,000 commuter train to Brambanan, and entry is Rp 400,000 for foreign adults.
- **The Ramayana Ballet** is staged at Prambanan at night, from 19:30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
- **The Kraton**, the Sultan's living palace, and **Tamansari**, the old Water Palace, are both Rp 25,000; the Kraton's Kedhaton is closed on Mondays.
- **Solo** is an easy day trip on the same commuter line, 1 h 11 min to Solo Balapan.
