Minangkabau Airport passenger terminal

Use the passenger terminal for domestic and international flights through Minangkabau Airport. Check the flight type and airline instructions on your booking before travelling, then follow the signs to the relevant check-in and departure area. Keep the required documents ready for the journey and allow time for the airline's baggage process if checking a bag.

For an itinerary with a connection, ask the airline whether baggage needs to be collected and handed over again. Build that process into the airport plan before choosing the onward journey. If someone is collecting you after an arrival, agree to make contact after the arrival procedures and baggage collection are complete.

Airport train from Minangkabau Airport to Padang

Minangkabau Ekspres serves the airport railway station and connects with Padang, with the route extending to Pulau Aie. Check the current timetable and the stop appropriate for your final destination. Follow directions to the airport station, then leave enough time to arrange the train journey and find the boarding area.

For a flight departure, compare the train's arrival with the airline's check-in and baggage deadlines. Include the transfer from the station to the terminal in the plan. If your accommodation needs another road journey to reach a station, account for that step too, rather than planning only the time aboard the airport train.
