I'd never heard of Batik Air before booking this trip, but I'm so happy I found them now! :) Also, what did you guys think of my little vlog from the layover in Kuala Lumpur? Have a good week ahead
Nonstop Dan batik air is the equivalent of Garuda Indonesia. They are really good and very competitive in pricing. The meal they serve and the hospitality on-board is amazing. As an Indonesian and a frequent traveler too, I will opt for Batik Air whenever I have the chance.
Hi Dan, i usually opt for batik air if garuda indonesia is too overpriced (or my budget not allowed to haha!). Batik is part of lion group which really famous for the delay. But batik air doesn't seems have the problems. Enjoy Bali!
Soul Sand Lion air has gained top safety rank by ICAO, and with Ethiopian airline recent crash it has been proved it was a problem with the newly Boeing 737 max, it was not a problem from Lion
Nuhan Hidayat that’s because lion flies 500 times compared to the others of 200-300 times a day and the utilisation on the planes are very high = short ground time because it is lcc you have to utilised cost. Also the passengers are of different class so that is also a factor to delays etc. It’s not only black and white. There’s a lot of factors to an airline.
Lion air was created to fill LCC gap needs . After they are settled, lion created Batik Air as premium carrier of the group. Garuda is the other way around. It was created as full service airlines, and then it created Citilink as their LCC.

Wow, what a great airline! It most certainly looks like an excellent value product to fly on, and an affordable way to experience business class comfort and service. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Daniel, and keep up your amazing work! :D
I love how you show us what Batik Air business class looks like. The headphones is $20 and it's indeed dirty. I always put lion air and Batik Air on the bottom of my list. Right now we have major issues here in Indonesia where the goverment raised all the air flight fare 2-3 times so for us now it is very expensive to fly! Even with those lcc planes. For example from my hometown to Jakarta the normal price $60 now it's $140 that sucks man. Have a good day Dan. I know Bali will impress you! The people,the food,the sunsets,everything!
hey dan! Im crew for Virgin and we are actually encouraged to use your first names in business class for people that arent elderly. Alot of people dont like the disconection between calling them sir and mam and are more comfortable with their names being used. Just one of the reasons why people fly virgin. Using sir names is slowly being fased out as its dated. :)
As Indonesian i can say that was "standart" service cause Indonesian was really friendly and patience from beginning. With that being said, thank you for trying Batik Air. Hope your stay in Indonesia memorable.
Just a cool suggestion...you could do a plane spotting vid shot from the beach nearby...with the right camera you can get real epic shots! (In Bali). Bali is incredible though!
You think travelling alone is sad? That says more about you than the people who are travelling alone. The most incredible, interesting and fun people I've met around the world have been on the road alone. And that's the reason why they were so open to meeting new people and to new experiences.
I have flown Batik PER to DPS return, not fancy but its cheap. I enjoy the extra space as I'm very tall and suffer claustrophobia. Travelling with them again in February.
Travelled by Batik Air Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Mumbai in business class a couple of days ago. It took a reminder after 10 minutes of boarding to air hostess to serve water. Only orange juice available which was served about half an hour into the flight. There was a dry bun bread without butter or jam in the meal. No inflight entertainment. None of the charging sockets worked in the business class. Most airlines have their economy class better than this.
If you lucky, you can have a chance to board the Garuda Indonesia flight from Bali to Jakarta with the Boeing 777 aircraft. Regularly they often used the A330 or the 737-800 for thier daily flights from Bali to Jakarta and vice versa
Hey Dan! That was a fantastic tripreport you have just created. Unfortunately I had a very average experience on Batik Air economy from Jakarta to Singapore. Food and drink options were very limited, the inflight monitors took ages to upload and the airline didn’t provide any headsets during this flight. Glad you had a great experience on Business Class and I can’t wait to see more tripreports! Fly safe! ✈️😁
Yaaay... Finally... Indonesian airline, Batik Air. It is member of Lion Group... 😘 ... Next time please review Garuda Indonesia. You should take Citilink if you want to fly indonesian domestic flight. Citilink is member of Garuda Indonesia's group. Enjoy your flight, Dan!.. ☺😘
Your personality makes this channel! Malindo is shocked that you're travelling Batik? Quite a bit of rivalry even though they are partner airlines --- getting rid of their 737, YES... so no danger of being on a Max? I'll be there with Bell's on...
it's not partner, to be exact it's subsidiary of Lion Air. But the flight experience is totally different. At least I feel safe flying with 'em :v rather with it's own parent, Lion air.
I feel so bad because he put so much effort in all his vids and yet I watch mainly because I have a HUGE CRUSH on him. T_T Must... Concentrate on the content! Too hard to concentrate! XD
It certainly looked a lot more comfortable than economy (which I, NON-affectionately, persist in calling steerage!), there is no denying it! Thank you for the video!
When you arrive in Jakarta Airport with Garuda you will landed in the new Terminal 3 Ultimate, fyi, the new terminal is very big and spacious as well, previously Garuda used the old Terminal 2 for their domestics and international flights, and now they already moved all the flights to Terminal 3. And some other international airlines had already moved their flights from the old Terminal 2 to the new Terminal 3 Ultimate this year, like Malaysia Airlines, Air Asia, Jet Star, Qantas, China Airlines, China Southern, Japan Airlines. And many other airlines will move to Terminal 3 as well, like Emirates, Etihad, Qatar and SQ.
Dan, thanks for this review. I flew them last year in winter from Bali to Kuala Lumpur, sadly they had a terrible delay of 5 hours! Luckily I was in Business Class and was able to go back to the lounge. Then connected in KUL to SGN on Malindo.
I haven't flown with Batik Air before, this video gave a really good insight. If you're impressed with the cabin crew, try flying with Garuda Indonesia. There's a reason why they won Skytrax's best cabin crew award for the 5th consecutive year, and they really are second to none IMO. I hope you enjoy your stay in Bali, Dan!
Looks like an awesome flight! 150$ for a 3 hours Business Class Flight is incredible!! That’s about what I paid for an economy flight that lasted 30 minutes lol
Nice cheap flight on Batik. They do fly to Australia but are little known unless you are into LCC ! Glad you enjoyed the flight and another most honest review!
Batik air is not an LCC, they are a full service carrier ( budget model ) = limited food / drinks. In economy for example u can only get coffee / thea and water (domestic flights). I don't know about international flights though.
Hi Dan.. I regularly watch ur videos and ur content is always amazing. Just wanted to ask u one thing here: Can u suggest me a monopod or any kinda pod which can be mounted on aircraft’s window glass with an action camera? Will be thankful for ur help! Regards from India.

Your vedios are always awesome. Please visit Kolkata
Meet you here tomorrow. Wherw we wanna hang out?
you shoulde fly qantas
Batik air is lion group.malindo..thai lion air
Hi Dan, i usually opt for batik air if garuda indonesia is too overpriced (or my budget not allowed to haha!). Batik is part of lion group which really famous for the delay. But batik air doesn't seems have the problems. Enjoy Bali!
Batik always on time
omg talking about delays on lion air especial in Jakarta domestic
oh and they are also famous for killing 189 people lol
Batik targets higher market segment than Lion. And Batik has very good otp rating 😀
Soul Sand Lion air has gained top safety rank by ICAO, and with Ethiopian airline recent crash it has been proved it was a problem with the newly Boeing 737 max, it was not a problem from Lion
kak wira sampai sini juga sama dong 🤗🤗🤗
It's interesting because Batik Air, Thai Lion, and Malindo are all subsidiary of Lion Air but their service are better than their parent company

Because Lion Air Is a Low Cost Airline meanwhile Batik Air, Thai Lion Air and Malindo Is a Full Service Airline
Batik Air is like Cinderella, very nice and kind unlike her other sister Lion Air, wicked and always delay,.. LOL!@
Lol
And frequent accident
Agreed, Batik air Indonesia or ID is the most underrated airline in Asia
Wow, what a great airline! It most certainly looks like an excellent value product to fly on, and an affordable way to experience business class comfort and service. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Daniel, and keep up your amazing work! :D
Can't wait to see your video on Garuda, Dan. Nice video overall

Terima kasih (thank you), Dan! Always love your vlog! Hope you enjoyed visiting Bali!
Im looking forward to seeing you travel with garuda indonesia, im just curious of your opinion!
Anyway keep up the good work! 👍
I think he'll upload that one after this, he posted GA's 777 business on his insta story like a week ago or so
@@NuhanHidayat really? Well great news then! We'll be expecting a garuda indonesia review soon i guess.
Dan you should have Oscar on your vids some day
Great review! I also liked how you included a restaurant near were you lived to add detail and details about were you lived !!!!!
Awesome video, you are my favorite UA-camr!!!!
As Indonesian i can say that was "standart" service cause Indonesian was really friendly and patience from beginning. With that being said, thank you for trying Batik Air. Hope your stay in Indonesia memorable.

That’s Amazing!!! Can’t wait to fly with them!!!
I've flown with Batik a couple of times and I could say that they're one of the best in Indonesia.
Yes finally you fligth with Batik Air. Im from Indonesia
Great report sir. 👍👍👍👍😊
Hope you enjoy Bali and Indonesia, Dan. Happy Holidays
Surprising Dan! Keep up the good work. I never knew about batik air.
keep it up the good work... Love your videos
Early again! Your videos are always the best. Cant wait to watch!
Love notification squad! Enjoy ;)
Great video. Great to know about Batik! I’d love to join you the next time you’re traveling alone - or with friends!
0:10 "see you next time- maybe" lol
I flew it also a few times in Indonesia in economy class. I was so amazed by the legroom and the fact that I had a tv and that they gave me food!
of course because they are a (budget) full service airline hehe
If you lucky, you can have a chance to board the Garuda Indonesia flight from Bali to Jakarta with the Boeing 777 aircraft. Regularly they often used the A330 or the 737-800 for thier daily flights from Bali to Jakarta and vice versa
Too expensive and it is a chance better do SIN TO DPS use KLM guarantee b777 and cheaper
Chassie Loh yea, I agree. But FYI, I heard Garuda just opened a first class seats in the CGK-DPS flight on the 777 fleet
It's amazing what product defects great service can overcome.
I have tried batik but i was on one of the planes without ife but overall it was pretty good
Hey Dan! That was a fantastic tripreport you have just created. Unfortunately I had a very average experience on Batik Air economy from Jakarta to Singapore.

Aw what a shame to hear that! Hope you get a good flight next time - maybe in business? Thanks for the kind words :)
of course limited , thats why the price is much cheaper than Garuda or Singapore airlines wkwkwk
I LOVE YOU DAN!!!
LOVE YOU TOO SHAHRUL!
great review dan
Awesome video, looks really nice besides the small issues! I didn`t expect this from Batik.
I'm guessing she was hoping you'd review Malindo. Hope KL was nice for you Dan! Great review and respect to Batik's dedicated crew!
Very good video. That food looked fantastic. Now I'm fancying a curry.
Yaaay... Finally... Indonesian airline, Batik Air. It is member of Lion Group... 😘 ... Next time please review Garuda Indonesia. You should take Citilink if you want to fly indonesian domestic flight. Citilink is member of Garuda Indonesia's group. Enjoy your flight, Dan!.. ☺😘
You are truly a fabulous person! Such a pleasant guy. Thanks for the great video.
I have traveled from Chennai to KL with them and I had a pleasant flight.

Im from Sweden! I love your vids! Never stop doing it💕
I hope you enjoy your time in Indonesia!
They also partner with Lion Air.. glad you're safe Dan!
it's not partner, to be exact it's subsidiary of Lion Air. But the flight experience is totally different. At least I feel safe flying with 'em :v rather with it's own parent, Lion air.
Only 253k subscribers??? A new subscriber
Much love from Qatar Airways! ❤️

Great video dude. I really love your channel and I am so proud of how much it’s grown
I’m flying Batik Air next month from Perth to Bali for Christmas. Excited to check them out, even if it will only be in economy 😁
Good to know. I’m traveling more often to Asia so this is good info!!
Cool and Amazing
I feel so bad because he put so much effort in all his vids and yet I watch mainly because I have a HUGE CRUSH on him. T_T
Must... Concentrate on the content! Too hard to concentrate! XD
Dan...tq for visiting my country malaysia...i'm your fan..😁
Wow I have never heard of batik air before. Also quite impressive. Keep up the awesome vids nonstop dan👍
can you do a economey week with qantas jetstar and virgin australia
It certainly looked a lot more comfortable than economy (which I, NON-affectionately, persist in calling steerage!), there is no denying it! Thank you for the video!
I was in kuala lumpur 2 weeks ago, got their by qatar airways Airbus a340
Yes mate! Malaysia have lots of vegetarian food. They are very creative with it as well
Great video👍👍
Like it! From Indonesia👍✌😁😄
Batik sir is a budget airline so it’s impressive they have IFE and incredible food tray
Yay, I can finnaly watch your videos!!! (I had some problems with my internet, now its fixed)
When you arrive in Jakarta Airport with Garuda you will landed in the new Terminal 3 Ultimate, fyi, the new terminal is very big and spacious as well, previously Garuda used the old Terminal 2 for their domestics and international flights, and now they already moved all the flights to Terminal 3.

Great review Dan, I have personally flown this route from MAA in business class on the 739 also it’s a great one! Keep up the good stuff
Loved watching you enjoy vegan food - so yes, more (food) vlogs please! (and that food on Batik air looked amazing as well)
Until when ur staying at Bali? I wanna meet youu ! Your fans from Brunei Darussalam! Going to Bali on 2nd December
A good crew makes the difference.
Nice video! They look a pretty good airline!
Which website/app you use to book your flight tickets?
They have a dunks at Kuala Lumpur!? Wow
Garuda Indonesia and Batik air are my two favorite Indonesian airlines
Welcome to Indonesia! 🤙
You should visit the hot water springs in Bandung and Taman Safari in Puncak next time you're in Indonesia.. Indonesia is more than just Bali.
Dan, thanks for this review. I flew them last year in winter from Bali to Kuala Lumpur, sadly they had a terrible delay of 5 hours! Luckily I was in Business Class and was able to go back to the lounge. Then connected in KUL to SGN on Malindo.
Dan,could you please do an Air New Zealand review?
Nice video. So, you booking ticket business class batik air with third party online ticketing expedia, traveloka or only website batik air?
Thanks! I booked through their site :)
Review garudaa please...top 9th skytrax:)
Try the first class garuda from bali to jakarta with the 777-300ER
I haven't flown with Batik Air before, this video gave a really good insight. If you're impressed with the cabin crew, try flying with Garuda Indonesia. There's a reason why they won Skytrax's best cabin crew award for the 5th consecutive year, and they really are second to none IMO. I hope you enjoy your stay in Bali, Dan!
Looks like an awesome flight! 150$ for a 3 hours Business Class Flight is incredible!! That’s about what I paid for an economy flight that lasted 30 minutes lol
Do they fly from the states to bali
Awesome trip report of Batik Air mate. New subs here. I can not wait to see your experience with Garuda soon. Keep up the good work 👍
Dim Sum looks amazing
what aircraft is that ? single deck but 4 engines ? never seen that before ( the Qatar one )
Airbus A340's family
Great flight report! Though the seats look a bit like Singapore Airlines old business class seat (In my opinion)
Nice cheap flight on Batik. They do fly to Australia but are little known unless you are into LCC ! Glad you enjoyed the flight and another most honest review!
Batik air is not an LCC, they are a full service carrier ( budget model ) = limited food / drinks. In economy for example u can only get coffee / thea and water (domestic flights). I don't know about international flights though.
Hi Dan.. I regularly watch ur videos and ur content is always amazing. Just wanted to ask u one thing here: Can u suggest me a monopod or any kinda pod which can be mounted on aircraft’s window glass with an action camera?
Will be thankful for ur help!
Regards from India.
Hi actually Batik Air has few of Airbus A320 and in 2019 we'll be fly with New Batik Air Airbus A321 Neo
Looking forward to Garuda review
Those headphone they gave you are the exact ones i have. :)
Since you're around the region, try out Royal Brunei soon! hope you'll get to try it! :)
