FAQ · Medan · Sumatra

Q:
I am currently traveling around Singapore and plan to go to Sumatra after this. What is the best way to go to Medan from Singapore? Should I take the ferry? Or it is better to take the flights? If yes is there a direct flight?

A: The best way to get from Singapore to Medan is to fly, there’s a direct flight with Jetstar or Tiger Airways else you can hop off to nearby Johor Bahru and catch Air Asia flight from there.

It is not advisable to take a ferry from Singapore, it is far and I don’t think there is one available. Ferries from Singapore to Indonesia only go to Batam, Tanjung Pinang and Dumai of Riau.
