Traveling to Indonesia: Unaffected by the Middle East Conflict

We've been receiving questions from travellers wondering whether the conflict in the Middle East affects our trips. That's completely understandable.. News about instability anywhere in the world naturally raises concerns. We'd like to give you a clear answer.

Our trips to Indonesia continue as normal

Beyond Local is not planning new flights with a stop in the affected middle east regions As long as the situation there does not meaningfully improve or de-escalate, we are not planning flights with a stop in the affected middle east region, such as:

Qatar
Dubai
Dammam
Saudi Arabia

Our trips to Indonesia are continuing without interruption. Indonesia – and Bali and Java in particular – is entirely separate from the Middle East conflict. It is a safe, welcoming, and beautiful country that attracts millions of visitors every year, and that remains unchanged.

Flights to Indonesia: plenty of options

While some airlines have temporarily adjusted their routes through the Middle East, there are still plenty of flight options to Indonesia from Europe:

KLM flies directly (with one stop) to Bali and Jakarta
Singapore Airlines via Singapore
Turkish Airlines via Istanbul
Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong
Xiamen Airlines via X
China Southern via X

There is no shortage of alternatives. If you're unsure which route suits you best, we're happy to help you explore the options!
