International in Medan

There are direct international flights to/from Penang (for only around US$70 return), Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Ipoh in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Several discount airlines service Medan, Air Asia, JetStar Asia, Firefly to name but three. All of them are LCC so you get what you pay for. Silk Air flies twice daily from Medan to Singapore, as does JetStar (trading in Indonesia as ValuAir). ValuAir is usually cheaper, though you have to pay for checked baggage, and if you have a connecting flight in Singapore, they won't forward your luggage. For those flying from outside Asia, both Malaysia and Singapore Airlines sell through tickets to Medan, transiting in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore respectively. These tickets are typically little more expensive than a ticket to KL/Singapore alone; it's worth considering also 'open-jaw tickets', for instance Singapore Airlines flying in to Medan and out of Bali (or vice versa).
