The market-low column is the cheapest fare in our Travelpayouts cache on that corridor across all carriers, not a Garuda Indonesia-only price — use it as a floor when comparing.
The airline selling the ticket may not be the one flying it. Our catalogue records the carriers that appear on a corridor, including cases where one sells as marketing carrier on a partner’s aircraft. On a codeshare your baggage, seating and compensation rights attach to the operating carrier, not the name on the booking. Read the “operated by” line before assuming what you will get.
The frequency shown belongs to the corridor, not to this airline alone. The 42 weekly departures above sum the frequency of the routes Garuda Indonesia serves, and that count includes every other carrier on the same city pairs. To know how many rotations this airline actually operates on your dates, read its own schedule. We do not publish figures we have not captured.

|---|---|
| IATA code | GA |
| Home country | Indonesia |
| Alliance | SkyTeam |
| Home hubs | Jakarta (CGK), Denpasar (Bali) (DPS) |

Garuda Indonesia’s checked-baggage baseline is 30 kg. Garuda Indonesia also runs Hajj/Umrah charters and bundles for Thai pilgrims, often with extra baggage and zamzam dispensations.
The 10% infant fare does not include a seat. It applies to a lap infant travelling without its own seat. Want a separate seat or a car seat and the ticket becomes a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare, with an adult-style allowance. On long sectors the number of positions where a bassinet can be fitted is limited and they go early — request one as far ahead as possible if you need it.
Garuda Indonesia network & booking
Garuda Indonesia’s network in our catalogue covers 1 corridor, based at Jakarta (CGK) and Denpasar (Bali) (DPS). Cached fares across them run from ฿4,349 (BKK–CGK) to ฿4,349 (BKK–CGK). Those corridors reach 1 destination in 1 country. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 6/10.
In this catalogue Garuda Indonesia’s network reaches 2 destinations across 1 country — Indonesia. Most corridors serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿4,063 on BKK-CGK — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
Routing through a hub adds reach and a failure point at once. Connecting at Jakarta (CGK) and Denpasar (Bali) (DPS) widens the destinations available but inserts one more place the plan can break. The upside is that a hub is where the airline keeps aircraft, crew and operations staff, so recovery is faster than at an outstation it touches once a day. If you must connect, connecting at the carrier’s own base is usually the safer choice.
Passenger rights & compensation
Garuda Indonesia appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Garuda Indonesia is registered in Indonesia and answers primarily to Indonesia Kemenhub (PM 89/2015). The common misreading is that rights travel with the airline. In practice they change first with the country the flight departs from.
Garuda Indonesia passenger protection is governed by Indonesia Kemenhub (PM 89/2015) — covering care, rerouting and refunds for cancellations/long delays. There is no fixed EU261-style cash schedule; check the regulator’s official terms before filing.
Collect evidence from day one. Whichever frame applies, the burden of proof sits with the passenger. Keep every boarding pass, the airline’s own delay notice or message, receipts for food and accommodation while you waited, and the actual arrival time against the scheduled one. Most rejected claims fail not because there was no right but because nothing documented what actually happened when.
Dedicated Hajj/Umrah charters sit outside this frame. This carrier operates pilgrim charters, and those are contracted through the Hajj board and licensed operators — in Thailand’s case the Chularatchamontri Office. The passenger’s counterparty is not the airline directly, so the first claim path is the operator and the board rather than the aviation regulator, and automated claim services built for scheduled IATA flights generally will not take a charter case.
How Garuda Indonesia fits travellers
Garuda Indonesia appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. Garuda Indonesia’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: ASEAN & regional leisure (1). The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing. Those corridors carry about 42 weekly departures counting every carrier on the same city pairs.
Garuda Indonesia’s catalogued routes matter most to the ASEAN & regional leisure segment(s). Its Jakarta (CGK), Denpasar (Bali) (DPS) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
This split describes our catalogue, not the airline’s passenger mix. The labels are assigned at route level in our own data, from the dominant demand pattern we associate with each city pair, not from any carrier’s traffic figures. A corridor can be tagged leisure while half the cabin travels on business. Read the label as a guide to what this page chooses to explain, never as a claim about who is sitting next to you.

Garuda Indonesia in our fare record
Across 8 weekly fare captures on corridors Garuda Indonesia serves, the code GA appears as the carrier holding the low 0 times — 0%. Garuda Indonesia appears on 1 corridor in our catalogue. The checked-baggage baseline we record is 30 kg.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 0% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
FAQ
How many routes does Garuda Indonesia fly in the SiamFlights catalogue?

What is Garuda Indonesia’s checked-baggage allowance?
A 30 kg baseline. Always confirm on the official site before travel.

Which regulator oversees Garuda Indonesia?
Indonesia Kemenhub (PM 89/2015), by country of registration. But passenger rights are set first by the country the flight departs from — anything leaving Thailand sits with Thailand CAAT.
Do Garuda Indonesia Hajj charters carry the same rights as scheduled tickets?
No. Charters are contracted through the Hajj board and licensed operators — in Thailand’s case the Chularatchamontri Office — so the first claim path is the operator, not the aviation regulator.

No. The roughly 10% rate applies to a lap infant with no seat of its own. A separate seat makes it a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare.
Is the low-fare column Garuda Indonesia’s own price?
No. It is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it. On a multi-carrier route the low may belong to a competitor.
