The following airlines operate regular services between Leh and Yogyakarta. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Best time to fly

The dry season, from May to September, is the best time to visit Yogyakarta. The weather is sunny and less humid, making it ideal for exploring outdoor attractions. Avoid the rainy season from October to April, as heavy rainfall can disrupt travel plans.
