Cheap flights from Kuala Lumpur to Medan

April comes out lowest in the dated fares. Prices are quoted month by month, so there is no gap in the calendar; fares can firm up around school holidays and Christmas, while midweek departures are often easier to book than weekend ones. Compare a few adjacent months rather than assuming the lowest fare suits your dates.

The airline list mixes low-cost and full-service names, and direct flights are possible on some itineraries rather than every one. AirAsia, PT Indonesia AirAsia, Scoot and Citilink Supergreen sit on the low-cost side of that mix, while Batik Air Indonesia, Malindo Air, Malaysia Airlines and Firefly are fuller-service names; low-cost tickets often leave out checked bags and meals, fuller-service fares may include more, and the exact inclusions are set by each fare's rules. Whatever the label, check the itinerary before you pay, because a connection can turn a cheap fare into a longer day.

Kualanamu is the airport you land at, and it sits outside Medan rather than in the centre, so plan the transfer into town. Airport trains, taxis and ride-hailing are the usual ways in; check which terminal your flight uses and plan the transfer into Medan before you travel.
