Times to Avoid traveling to Medan
Ceng Beng period:
Around April every year, as Medan will be crowded with most Medanese traveling from all over the world, mostly Jakarta and Singapore to Medan to pay respects to ancestors during this Ceng Beng month
School Holidays - June - July and December
As many Medanese send their children for education in Singapore. When the school holidays season start in Singapore, you will expect these school children to return to Medan to visit their parents. Likewise, the parents of these children will also travel to Singapore to visit their children for those that have houses in Singapore. These flight traffic will affect the availability of seats and definitely the prices of air tickets for your flights.
Medan School Holidays will also affect flights from Singapore to Medan as these are the times when eager parents will take vacations with their children bringing them to Singapore and other countries. Since Medan has no direct flights to many parts of the world, Medanese have to make a transit stop in Singapore for their onward journey to other holiday destinations.
Idul Fitri
This festive season will also affect flights from Medan to Singapore and vice versa as many factories will be closed in Medan due to the long holiday that has been set for Indonesia. The holiday will usually last for a week and factories will take this opportunity to close for two weeks and go for their annual vacations.
So you may want to avoid traveling to Medan in the last week of this holiday season as Medanese make their return to Medan.
