For the vast majority of travelers, Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) is the only practical gateway to Medan. It is located in Deli Serdang, outside the city center, but it acts as the primary hub for the Medan metropolitan area and offers the most efficient transit links. The Airport Railink remains the gold standard for speed and comfort, successfully bypassing road traffic to deposit passengers directly in the heart of the city. In contrast, Raja Sisingamangaraja XII International Airport (DTB) is not in Medan at all; it serves the town of Siborong-borong and the Lake Toba region. Attempting to reach Medan Baru from this airport is extremely arduous, involving a 3- to 8-hour journey that is not recommended for those primarily visiting Medan. Travelers arriving at DTB should prioritize exploration of the Lake Toba highlands instead. Stick to KNO for all city-focused trips to ensure a stress-free arrival.
