Abu Dhabi combines Gulf glamour with easy onward connections across the Middle East, Europe and Africa, and it's one of the more comfortable long-haul options out of Jakarta thanks to a solid nonstop service. Etihad Airways flies the route direct, with Garuda Indonesia and IndiGo also among the options.
Etihad Airways operates the nonstop service, with Garuda Indonesia also flying it direct, while IndiGo typically connects through an Indian gateway. The cheapest fare currently showing is AU$503.
The nonstop covers 7 hours 55 minutes on Etihad or Garuda Indonesia. IndiGo's connecting option adds extra time via its Indian hub but can suit travellers wanting a stopover break.
Australian passport holders can get a free visa on arrival at Abu Dhabi or Dubai airport for tourist stays of up to 30 days, with some reports of a longer 90-day allowance depending on current entry rules, and no advance application needed either way. A passport valid for at least six months from arrival is required.
November to March brings far more comfortable temperatures than the intense summer heat, making it the more popular and busier window for this route.
Compare Etihad and Garuda Indonesia's nonstop fares against IndiGo's connecting option in one search, and bundle Abu Dhabi hotels or desert tour add-ons into the same booking.
