Flying Bali with Batik Air (formerly Malindo Air)
Batik Air (formerly operated as Malindo Air) is co-operative airline between the two countries, Malaysia and Indonesia. The aircraft is a Boeing 737-800/900 comprising of 12 business class seats and 150/168 economy class seats.
We recently took the trip and found the aircraft to be very comfortable. The seats in the economy class are wider than normal low-cost airlines and with more legroom of 32" seat pitches. In-flight entertainment is included in the fare which was a surprise, however, you need to bring your own earphones. Meals are available for purchase at a very reasonable price when pre-booked. We pre-ordered nasi lemak (coconut rice). Though the portion was small, it was surprisingly delicious.
One concern was the cabin luggage space on board. There does not seem to be enough space for every passenger's carry-one baggage. This causes a bit of chaos leaving passengers irate. However, the air stewardesses did manage to find space in business class cabins while other baggage had to be checked in.
On the whole, it was a good experience with professional and courteous air stewardesses.
This is an alternative flight option to Bali worth considering.
