Garuda Indonesia is offering 170,845 domestic roundtrip seats at no additional fare to eligible international passengers flying to Indonesia from 14 origin cities across 10 countries. The initiative, running from 1 August to 30 November 2026, is designed to encourage travellers to explore beyond the main international gateways of Jakarta and Denpasar, fostering longer stays and multi-destination itineraries.
The program, under the banner #DiscoverMoreIndonesia, allows passengers with roundtrip international tickets to add a domestic roundtrip journey as part of their itinerary. This move aims to disperse tourism spending more widely across the archipelago, benefiting hotels, restaurants, local transport, and MSMEs in regions that might otherwise be overlooked.
Garuda Indonesia Marketing Group Head Prina Eka Putri emphasized the strategic importance of the offer: “Indonesia offers far more than a single destination. By making onward domestic travel easier, we want international travellers to stay longer, explore more regions and experience more of what Indonesia has to offer.” She added that integrating international and domestic connectivity provides a competitive edge as regional destinations vie for international visitors.
The program also supports the Indonesian diaspora, migrant workers, and citizens returning from overseas, enabling them to continue to their home regions or other parts of the country. Agny Gallus Pratama, Southeast Asia Branch Manager and Head of the Free Domestic Flight Project Management Office, highlighted the economic potential: “The opportunity is not only to bring more travellers into Indonesia, but to enable each arrival to reach more destinations. When visitors travel further and stay longer, the economic impact can extend to hotels, restaurants, local transportation, tourism operators and MSMEs across the regions.”
By linking its international network with its domestic reach, Garuda Indonesia aims to create greater value from each international arrival. The airline expects the program to disperse visitor flows and tourism spending more evenly, supporting local economies that depend on tourism. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance Indonesia's appeal as a multi-destination country, leveraging the airline's extensive domestic network to offer seamless travel experiences.
Eligibility details, booking procedures, participating flights, and terms are available on Garuda Indonesia's official Free Domestic Flight webpage. For more information, visit the Garuda Indonesia website or check their Instagram account.
