There's no nonstop flight between Jakarta and Biak. The standard routing connects through Makassar, and it's worth building that extra leg into your plans for this eastern Indonesia route.
One-way fares on this connecting route start from AU$322. As a longer domestic route with fewer competing carriers than routes closer to Jakarta, booking ahead generally helps with both price and seat availability.
Lion Air operates the main connecting service via Makassar, while Garuda Indonesia, Citilink, Batik Air, and Nam Air also sell connecting itineraries on parts of the route.
With no nonstop option, the fastest routing via Makassar takes around 8 hours 10 minutes including the connection.
Flights to Biak depart from Soekarno-Hatta, around 20km from central Jakarta, with the airport rail link taking about 45 minutes from the city.
Frans Kaisiepo Airport is close to Biak town, with taxis typically taking well under 20 minutes to reach the centre.
As a domestic Indonesian destination, the relevant requirement is Indonesia's entry visa, applied on first arrival into the country. Australian passport holders need a Visa on Arrival or e-Visa on Arrival, extendable once, provided your passport has at least six months' validity.
The drier months from May to October generally offer calmer conditions for exploring the surrounding waters, while the wetter season from December to March can bring more rain.
Biak sits on the edge of Cenderawasih Bay, known among travellers for its coral reefs and diving spots, making it a niche stop for those extending a trip further into eastern Indonesia.
