Flights Bangkok to Jakarta (DMK-CGK): Airlines, THB Fares | May 2026

Flights Bangkok → Jakarta (DMK-CGK) — THB Fares, Airlines, Frequency

Don Mueang to Jakarta is the low-cost route on the Bangkok–Jakarta corridor, flown from Bangkok’s budget-airline airport. With around 21 flights a week, it offers an economical link to the Indonesian capital for tourists, budget business travellers, and passengers connecting onward across the Indonesian archipelago.

Block time is about 3.7 hours. The route appeals to travellers who want the lowest fare to Jakarta, and to those for whom Don Mueang, the low-cost hub in northern Bangkok, is simply the easier airport to use.

Airlines on this route

Two low-cost carriers fly DMK-CGK: Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia, both part of the AirAsia group, operating from their Don Mueang and Jakarta bases. Both price the base seat low and sell checked baggage, seat selection and meals separately. On a route of nearly four hours, count the baggage you need into the total — the all-in THB cost, not the headline fare, is what decides value.

THB fares

DMK-CGK fares are competitive, kept low by the AirAsia-group operation and the corridor’s steady demand. They lift around the year-end holidays, the Indonesian holiday periods and the Thai school breaks — six to ten weeks of lead time is sensible for those windows. Outside them, the early-released fares are the cheapest seats, and three to six weeks usually finds a good THB price.

About Jakarta

Jakarta, the destination of this route, is Indonesia’s capital and the centre of one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas — a vast, fast-moving business city rather than a conventional tourist stop. For budget travellers from Bangkok it is most often a place of work, or a connecting point: Jakarta’s airport feeds low-cost routes onward to Bali, Yogyakarta and the wider archipelago, which is much of what this corridor serves.
