About this place
Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) is the primary gateway to Medan and the broader North Sumatra region of Indonesia. Opened in 2013, this modern facility replaced the older Polonia airport, moving all civilian flights to a more spacious site about an hour's drive from central Medan. The airport serves both international and domestic flights from a single, multi-level terminal, with routes connecting to major hubs across Asia.
While Kualanamu itself is a transit point rather than a destination, its facilities are surprisingly robust for a regional airport. Travelers will find a range of dining options, lounges, shops, and even a small movie theater. The airport's rail link to Medan city center is a standout feature — it was the first airport in Indonesia to offer a direct train connection — making the journey into town predictable and relatively quick.

Things to Do
- Relax in an airport lounge — The Sapphire BlueSky Executive Lounge (domestic, near Gate 12) and Sapphire Mandai Lounge (international) offer seating, refreshments, and Wi-Fi for up to three hours. Garuda Indonesia and BRI also operate lounges near Gate 10.
- Catch a movie at the airport cinema — The small 'Bioskop Bandara' theater near the departure ramp lets you pick from a selection of films projected on a large screen with surround sound, offering standard and executive seating.
- Visit the game center — Open daily from 07:00 to 22:00, this entertainment option helps pass the time between flights.
- Stroll the outdoor garden — A landscaped garden area outside the terminal provides fresh air and a quiet spot to walk around.
- Shop for local goods — Browse batik-motif clothing at Batik Keris, pick up traditional snacks like Bika Ambon, or visit the Swatch and Converse stores in the departure area.

Planning Tips
- Take the Skytrain into Medan — The 20-minute rail service is faster and more predictable than driving. Buy tickets online for half-price fares.
- Use ride-hailing apps over taxis — Go-Car, Grab, and in-Driver offer transparent pricing. Avoid conventional taxis that rely on meters.
- Allow ample check-in time — Departing passengers should be at the boarding lounge at least 30 minutes before departure. Latecomers risk being left behind after a final PA call.
- Grab a local SIM at Telkomsel — Two Telkomsel stores (indoor GraPARI and outdoor Broadband Corner) sell prepaid data plans starting at Rp65,000 for 1GB.
- Keep your parking ticket safe — Lost parking or reservation tickets incur a Rp100,000 penalty, so store yours securely.
