Fly to Makale

When you fly to Makale, you re flying into Indonesia s remote Tana Toraja region. Makale is the economic and administrative heart of this part of South Sulawesi. Makale sits on the shores of a man-made lake and many of its buildings are traditional Tongkonan, a distinctive Toraja architectural style characterized by boat-shaped rooms and saddleback roofs.

Attractions

According to Indonesian mythology, the first Tongkonan was built by the creator named Puang Matua. For many centuries, only Toraja nobles were allowed to build the old structures. Today, many of Makale s government buildings make use of this unique approach to construction.

Every week, a market held here draws participants from all parts of Tana Toraja and offers a rare opportunity to interact with Toraja culture firsthand. The Makale market is one of the largest in the South Sulawesi region and visitors can find everything from buffalo and pigs to local fruits, vegetables and electronics for sale there.

Hints and tips

If you fly to Makale, you ll be arriving at Pongtiku Airport (TTR), which is located about 20 minutes from the city by car. Makale is also accessible by bus from Makassar. Makale has a relatively temperate climate for this part of Indonesia with year-round temperatures of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The rainy season typically lasts from July to October.

How to book the cheapest flight to Mek'ele?
With some of the most impressive flight deals around, a bargain is always waiting for you with Orbitz. The following handy hints will help you snap up cheap flights to Mek’ele — and leave you with more cash to splash:

  • Consider taking off from or landing at alternative airports to cut costs. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports in the form fields, then select the ‘Nearby airports’ function below. It will list any available options.
  • If you’re flexible with your plans, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option. You’ll see the flight deals for the days either side of your selected departure. Airfares often vary depending on the day of the week.
  • Hit ‘Show options’ to fine tune your search results. You can pick your preferred airline and seating class here. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even specify whether you’d like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • Reserve your airfare as soon as you’ve figured out your travel dates. While it does happen from time to time, airline tickets rarely fall in price as your date of departure nears.
  • Make serious savings on your trip by bundling your hotel, flights and car rental into a package with Orbitz. Your budget will thank you.
  • Flying during peak season often means steep airfares. If possible, plan your vacation outside of popular dates, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Mek'ele?
Land a fantastic flight deal by booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. These are typically the best days to pick up cheap fares to Mek’ele.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Mek'ele?
Based on Orbitz data from 2020, Monday tends to be the best day to get cheap flights to Mek’ele. Tuesday also has more affordable fares, whereas Saturday has the most expensive ticket rates.

What do I need for the flight to Mek'ele?
A long-haul trip can seem daunting, but it’s nothing a little preparation can’t solve. We’ve rounded up our top tips to make sure your trip is a smooth one:

  • You’ll need identification such as your passport. To avoid confusion while checking in, make sure you book your tickets under the same name as your official ID. It’s smart to have electronic copies of important documents too, just in case!
  • Have some extra entertainment for your long trip to Mek’ele. If you’ve had enough of watching that series on your phone, give your eyes a much-needed break from all that screen time and listen to an audio book.
  • Cabin temperatures are often chilly enough to give you goose bumps. Pack a hoodie even if you’re vacationing during the peak of Mek’ele summer.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Mek'ele?
If you think a business or first-class ticket is beyond your grasp, think again. Here are some top tips to help you book a premium flight to Mek’ele for less:

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and wait for deals on business or first-class airfares.
  • Look for a low-cost airline that has seats in business class. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more appealing price.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a flight rewards program.

Travel tips for Mek'ele

  • Mekele University is one of this busy city’s most popular attractions. Book a place to stay near the center and check it out whenever you like.
  • If you’re in the mood to venture a bit farther afield and check out other Mek’ele hot spots, arrange a car rental and hit the road to Abuna Yemata Guh. It won’t take long to get there from downtown.
  • Add a few more miles to the odometer and set out for some of Tigray Region’s other great cities. Axum is one that’s begging to be explored.
