Flying into the Yogyakarta International Airport in Indonesia, you get a view of the sea on one side, and patches of padi fields and farm land on another. For many South-East Asians, that view is a very familiar one, and perhaps not entirely exciting for a “healing” holiday post on social media.

The airport is fairly new, officially opened in the thick of the pandemic in 2020. It isn’t a busy airport, but flights do tend to come in at the same time, which may cause a bit of a lag at immigration.
