Juanda International Airport (SUB): Surabaya is serviced by Juanda International Airport, conveniently located about 20 kilometers south of the downtown area. Typically, it takes around 30-40 minutes to reach the city center, but as with any bustling city, it's wise to anticipate potential traffic delays.
Weather-Dependent Car Choice: Surabaya's tropical climate means you can expect both sunny and rainy days. A car with reliable traction, perhaps even an SUV during the rainier months, can be handy. And given the tropical heat, ensure your rental car has a functional air conditioning system.
