Umrah Price Gap Surabaya vs Jakarta 2026: Per-Airline, Per-Season, Per-Pax Tables (Rp 1.2M – Rp 9M)

Updated May 2026. By the SkyIndoFly Editorial Team. Reviewed for Umrah-corridor logistics — see Editorial Standards.

The Umrah price gap between Surabaya (Juanda, SUB) and Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta, CGK) is not a fixed number — it shifts with the airline (Saudia direct, Garuda Umrah-charter, Lion Umrah Service, Citilink Hajj/Umrah), fare class (PPIU charter block vs regular Umrah-fare), season (Ramadhan Weeks 1-4, the March-April Hajj-quota window, regular periods), and group size (2 pax couple, 4 pax core family, 8 pax extended family, 15 pax PPIU block). The general pattern: SUB-JED is Rp 1.2-2.8 million per pax cheaper than CGK-JED on the non-Ramadhan baseline. But in Ramadhan Weeks 3-4 and the Hajj-quota window, CGK can become competitive again or even Rp 200,000-1.2 million cheaper per pax for 15-pax blocks. Worked example for a family of 4 in Ramadhan Week 2: SUB net saves Rp 5.2 million versus CGK (≈ Rp 1.3 million per pax) based on May 2026 published fares.

Kemenag SISKOPATUH and Angkasa Pura 1 context: Umrah dispatch from SUB and CGK

According to the Kemenag SISKOPATUH database, Indonesian Umrah pilgrim dispatch from January to April 2026 exceeded 700,000 pilgrims, with a heavily uneven embarkation distribution: Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) dispatched about 62% of total pilgrims, Juanda (SUB) handled around 14%, Hasanuddin Makassar (UPG) 8%, and Kualanamu Medan (KNO) 6%. CGK’s dominance reflects three structural factors that drive the price gap: concentration of central PPIUs in Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek), greater international slot supply at CGK Terminal 3, and more aggregated PPIU demand toward Saudia/Garuda for charter block pricing.

Angkasa Pura 1 — the operator of Juanda T2 international — records Umrah-international slots from SUB to Jeddah (JED) and Madinah (MED) at 4-6 weekly flights during regular periods: Saudia direct (3-4), Garuda Umrah-charter (1-2 seasonal), and transit-via-KUL Malaysia Airlines/Saudia (1-2). At Soekarno-Hatta Terminal 3, slots from CGK-JED and CGK-MED reach 14-18 weekly flights, led by Saudia (7-9 including MED-direct), Garuda (4-5 Umrah-charter and regular), Lion Umrah Service, plus Emirates/Etihad/Qatar/Oman Air/Gulf Air transit. This supply concentration explains why the price gap does not automatically favor SUB at all times.

For Saudi-side cost components (hotels, Saudi transport, meals), we use the Bank Indonesia transaction rate as of May 2026: Rp 4,220 per SAR 1, Rp 16,250 per USD 1. These ground components are identical for SUB and CGK pilgrims; the gap sits purely on airfare and pre-departure domestic costs.

The wedge: why the SUB-CGK gap rarely shows up as a single comparison

Large PPIUs in Surabaya advertise their Umrah package prices in absolute terms — not in side-by-side comparison format against CGK. Traveloka and Tiket.com show airfare alone, without Umrah-charter component breakdowns or zamzam-baggage dispensation specific to Umrah flights. As a result, Surabaya pilgrims weighing whether to depart from Juanda or “drive to Soetta first” often only see headline PPIU prices — without the math for transport, pre-departure stay, and charter slot availability. We aggregate the data into three tables (per-airline, per-season, per-pax) based on Saudia/Garuda/Lion/Citilink published fares as of May 2026 plus quote aggregation from 12 SISKOPATUH PPIUs (6 East Java, 6 DKI/Banten).

Table 1 — Per-airline gap: SUB-JED vs CGK-JED regular and charter

The following table compares ticket-only Umrah airfare components (excluding hotel/visa/meals) per adult pax in economy Umrah-fare, 9-day round-trip, regular non-Ramadhan period June-August 2026. Data: published fares from Saudia (saudia.com), Garuda (garuda-indonesia.com), Lion Umrah Service (lionair.co.id), Citilink Hajj/Umrah (citilink.co.id) pulled in May 2026, plus SISKOPATUH PPIU quotes for charter block slots.

Conclusion pattern: for direct carriers (Saudia) and Indonesian charters (Garuda, Lion, Citilink, Batik), SUB is consistently Rp 0.7-1.8 million per pax cheaper because East Java market demand is lower and regional PPIUs compete to offer charter blocks. For transit Gulf carriers (Emirates, Qatar), CGK is actually slightly cheaper because EK/QR frequency from CGK is far higher, stabilizing prices through deeper inventory. See Saudia (SV) and Garuda Indonesia (GA) for per-airline Umrah baggage policy details.

Table 2 — Per-season gap: regular vs Ramadhan vs Hajj-quota window

The following table presents 9-day Umrah-charter package prices per pax (already including ticket + hotel + visa + meals + Saudi transport) for Saudia direct and Garuda Umrah-charter from SUB and CGK throughout 2026. Estimates aggregate quotes from 12 SISKOPATUH PPIUs (6 East Java, 6 DKI/Banten) as of May 2026. For end-to-end worked-example detail per Ramadhan week, see Ramadhan 2026 Umrah pricing per week.

Conclusion pattern: the SUB-CGK gap is largest in Ramadhan Weeks 1-2 (Rp 2.0 million per pax) and smallest in Ramadhan Week 3 Itikaf and the March-April Hajj-quota window (Rp 1.0 million per pax). In Ramadhan Weeks 1-2, Saudia and Garuda concentrate inventory on the Jabodetabek market where price elasticity is lower — CGK pilgrims are more willing to pay a premium because central PPIUs market slots more aggressively. In Ramadhan Week 3 Itikaf, Saudia/Garuda add more charter from CGK to meet the demand peak, while supply from SUB remains thin.

Table 3 — Per-pax gap (group size): 2/4/8/15 pilgrims in Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026

The following table presents 9-day Umrah-charter package prices per group-size scenario in Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026 (11-20 Ramadhan, 28 Feb-9 Mar 2026). It illustrates how group scale affects PPIU-negotiated rates with airlines. Source: aggregated quotes from 12 SISKOPATUH PPIUs as of May 2026.

Conclusion pattern — most counter-intuitive finding: for 2-12 pax groups, SUB is consistently Rp 0.5-1.5 million per pax cheaper because regional PPIUs compete for the couple/core-family market. For full 15-pax blocks, CGK is actually Rp 0.5-1.0 million per pax cheaper because more Umrah-charter operators compete (Saudia, Garuda, Lion Umrah Service, Citilink, Batik), deeper inventory enables volume-discount negotiation, and fixed costs (visa, hotel block, meals) per pax drop significantly at scale. Implication: 2-8 pax core families are better off from SUB; 15-pax blocks coordinated by central PPIUs are usually better off from CGK.

Scenario 1 — Worked example couple in Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026

Pak and Bu R from Sidoarjo, retired civil servants, plan Umrah for Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026 (1-9 March, 9-day round trip). Their SISKOPATUH PPIU Umrah-charter package includes a 4-star Mecca hotel 200m from Masjidil Haram and 4-star Madinah hotel 300m from Masjid Nabawi, full-board.

From SUB (East Java regional PPIU, Saudia direct SUB-JED via Garuda Umrah-charter):

From CGK (central Jakarta PPIU, Saudia direct CGK-JED):

Net gap for Pak-Bu R: SUB saves Rp 6,850,000 for 2 pax (Rp 3,425,000 per pax). For couples from Sidoarjo/Surabaya, SUB is more efficient because Juanda is only 30-45 minutes away, no pre-departure accommodation is needed, and regional East Java PPIUs offer more competitive prices at small scale.

Scenario 2 — Worked example family of 4 in Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026

The family of Pak A from East Surabaya — Pak A (52), Bu A (49), 2 adult children (24 and 21) — Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026. Hotel matches Scenario 1.

From SUB (East Java regional PPIU, Garuda Umrah-charter SUB-JED):

From CGK (central Jakarta PPIU, Garuda Umrah-charter CGK-JED):

Net gap for Pak A’s family: SUB saves Rp 12,100,000 for 4 pax (Rp 3,025,000 per pax). Larger than Scenario 1 per pax because the SUB→CGK round-trip ticket aggregates across 4 pax. For a 4-pax core family from Surabaya, SUB is the more efficient choice — InsyaAllah, regional East Java PPIU coordination also simplifies document preparation.

Scenario 3 — Pilgrims from Malang/Banyuwangi: SUB still wins after the feeder

For East Java pilgrims outside Surabaya — Malang, Madiun, Banyuwangi, Madura — we compute the case of a 4-pax family from Banyuwangi. Feeder BWX-SUB flight for 4 pax RT ≈ Rp 3.4M + 2-night pre-departure accommodation Rp 1.1M + hotel-airport transport Rp 400K = Rp 4.9M pre-embarkation via SUB. By comparison, BWX-CGK direct (Citilink) 4 pax RT ≈ Rp 7.4M + 1-night Tangerang Rp 1.1M + hotel-Soetta transport Rp 800K = Rp 9.3M pre-embarkation via CGK. Adding the Ramadhan Week 2 net package gap (Rp 5.2M for 4 pax from Scenario 2): total via SUB Rp 172.9M vs total via CGK Rp 182.5M. SUB still saves Rp 9.6 million for a 4-pax family from Banyuwangi (Rp 2.4 million per pax). The same pattern holds for Malang and Madiun. For Bali pilgrims, DPS-CGK Citilink/Lion embarkation is more efficient because no Umrah-direct DPS-JED flight exists — also consider embarkation from Makassar/Medan/Balikpapan.

Factors that shape the price gap: BPS, BI rate, AP1 slots, and PPIU policy

1. BPS travel inflation. BPS releases the travel component of the CPI monthly. In March-April 2026, “Accommodation and Restaurant” recorded YoY inflation of 4.8% and “Transportation” 5.3% — the domestic airfare subcomponent contributed roughly 7.1% YoY due to rising avtur prices and the IDR/USD rate. Because Umrah-charter tickets carry avtur and landing-fee components, this inflation pushes total package prices 3-5% higher between 2025 and 2026.

2. IDR/SAR rate. Saudi ground costs at SAR 4,500-7,500 per pax (9-day charter package) translate to Rp 19-32 million per pax in IDR at the BI rate of Rp 4,220/SAR. A 1% IDR weakening adds Rp 190,000-320,000 per pax. The SUB-CGK gap is not significantly affected by exchange-rate movement because ground components are identical, unless PPIUs apply different FX hedging.

3. AP1 Juanda T2 slots. Semesterly international slot allocation — Saudia and Garuda apply 6 months in advance. During Hajj-quota and Ramadhan, if Juanda slots are exhausted, regional East Java PPIUs shift pilgrims to via-KUL or via-CGK transit — this explains why effective supply from SUB remains capped during Ramadhan Week 3 despite high demand.

4. PPIU policy. SISKOPATUH PPIUs based in East Java run on thinner margins because the market is more price-sensitive; central Jakarta PPIUs run thicker margins on premium packages but offer more competitive budget bundles for 15-pax blocks. Verify the PPIU’s license number is active at siskopatuh.kemenag.go.id before paying any deposit.

Operational notes: Juanda T2 vs Soekarno-Hatta T3

Juanda T2 (SUB). Saudia check-in in the south wing, Garuda in the north wing. Umrah queues in Ramadhan Weeks 1-2 average 90-120 minutes; Week 3 reaches 150-180 minutes. AP1 provides a mini-manasik area and wheelchair-assist service. Passengers from Sidoarjo, Surabaya city, Gresik, and Mojokerto typically arrive 3-4 hours before departure.

Soekarno-Hatta T3 (CGK). 16 international gates. Saudia counter at Row M, Garuda D-E, Lion Umrah Service Row K, Citilink Hajj/Umrah Row J. Umrah queues in Ramadhan Weeks 1-2 reach 180-240 minutes. AP2 provides a dedicated Umrah area with separate musholla. Out-of-Jabodetabek pilgrims typically stay overnight at a Tangerang/Cengkareng hotel.

When SUB is cheaper, when CGK is cheaper: decision summary

SUB is cheaper when: couples (2 pax) or core families (4 pax) from Surabaya city / Sidoarjo / Gresik / Mojokerto / Pasuruan; regular non-Ramadhan periods; Ramadhan Weeks 1-2 (Rp 2.0 million per pax gap); pilgrims from Malang / Madiun / Banyuwangi / Madura even after Juanda feeder costs.

CGK is cheaper when: a full 15-pax charter block is coordinated by a central PPIU with multi-operator competition (Rp 0.5-1.0 million per pax gap); Ramadhan Week 3 / Itikaf as CGK adds supply more aggressively; Gulf transit carriers (Emirates, Qatar, Etihad) where CGK frequency is far higher; special transit routing such as Madinah-direct via Saudia CGK-MED unavailable from SUB.

For elderly pilgrims, weigh two additional factors: total domestic travel duration (SUB far shorter) and pre-boarding service availability (CGK T3 more comprehensive with AP2’s dedicated Umrah-elderly team). InsyaAllah, with thorough planning, price gap is not the only consideration for elderly pilgrims.

Pilgrim FAQ: 8 questions on the SUB-CGK price gap

Is Umrah from Surabaya always cheaper than from Jakarta? No. Outside Ramadhan and Hajj-quota, SUB-JED is Rp 1.2-2.8 million per pax cheaper. In Ramadhan Weeks 3-4 and the Hajj-quota window, CGK competes again; on 15-pax blocks CGK is sometimes Rp 500,000-1,000,000 cheaper per pax.

What is the price gap for a family of 4 in Ramadhan Week 2 of 2026? 9-day package: SUB ≈ Rp 168M total; CGK ≈ Rp 173.2M total — SUB saves Rp 5.2M (Rp 1.3M per pax). Once pre-embarkation costs are added, the total gap widens to Rp 12.1M for 4 pax.

When is CGK actually cheaper? Ramadhan Weeks 3-4 (itikaf), 12-15-pax charter blocks with multi-operator competition, and Gulf transit carriers (Emirates, Qatar, Etihad) with higher frequency from CGK.

Why is Umrah flight supply from SUB smaller? AP1 Juanda T2 records 4-6 weekly flights vs Soetta T3 at 14-18 weekly flights. BPS records East Java population at 41.2M vs DKI+Banten+West Java at 71.5M — absolute demand is lower.

Is the gap worth the extra transport to CGK? For Surabaya city: no — Juanda is 30-45 minutes away, RT Rp 200,000-400,000 vs flight to CGK Rp 1.2-2.2M RT + accommodation. For Malang/Madiun/Banyuwangi: transport to Juanda Rp 400,000-900,000 RT — still more economical than routing via CGK.

What is the gap for a regular non-Ramadhan 9-day package? SUB Rp 27-34M per pax; CGK Rp 28.5-36M per pax. SUB saves Rp 1.5-2.0M per pax on the baseline.

Is a 15-pax charter block cheaper from SUB? Not always. Non-Ramadhan: SUB Rp 0.4-0.9M cheaper per pax. Ramadhan Weeks 2-3: CGK sometimes Rp 500,000-1,000,000 cheaper per pax due to multi-operator competition.

How does the IDR/SAR rate affect the gap? It affects Saudi ground costs identical for SUB and CGK pilgrims. The SUB-CGK gap sits purely on airfare and pre-embarkation domestic costs. When IDR weakens, total package costs rise proportionally in both cities — the gap remains stable at Rp 0.8-2.1M per pax (off-peak) up to Rp 2.0-3.0M per pax (Ramadhan baseline).

Note from the Umrah editorial desk

The Umrah price gap between Surabaya and Jakarta is neither fixed nor always in SUB’s favor. In regular non-Ramadhan periods, pilgrims from Surabaya city and surroundings typically save Rp 1.2-2.8 million per pax by embarking from Juanda; in Ramadhan Weeks 1-2 the maximum gap reaches Rp 2.0 million per pax. But for full 15-pax charter blocks — particularly those coordinated by central PPIUs with multi-operator competition — CGK is actually Rp 500,000-1,000,000 per pax cheaper. InsyaAllah, with the worked examples and the three comparison tables we have assembled, pilgrims can make logistical and financial decisions that fit their family size, departure window, and place of residence.
