Batik Air (Indonesia) to start Bali-Canberra

[Bali Guy]

Same here.

However, things are happening with Batik Air on this proposed route.

1. Batik Air has changed their website to include Canberra as a departure airport.

2. Batik Air has deleted some of the weekly flights from ADL to DPS. This will free up planes and crews for the Canberra service.

3. Batik Air has scheduled a launch at Canberra Airport next week. Hopefully, this will give details of pricing and dates.

4. Batik Air has a sale at the moment, There are no Canberra flights included. The sale prices for SYD to DPS flights to 30 June 2024 are $479 return and $239 one way. This may be an indicator for Canberra pricing.

Any idea when tickets between Canb and Denpasar will go on sale? Went on the Batik Air website today was advised that there are no ‘Flights do not operate on the date I searched’ [14 June 2024}.

The official launch is actually tomorrow where there will be a media event at Canberra airport this should include more details about schedule, pricing etc.

Also welcome to AFF, hope you stick around.

Batik Air has announced that the one way fare will be $394 from CBR to DPS for flight ID 6014 on 14 June 2024. This compares to the current sale fare of $239 one way to DPS from SYD and $219 from MEL.

Flight ID 6014 will leave CBR at 0800 and arrive at DPS at 1250.

From Canberra Airport's Instagram, 3x weekly service starts in June 2024.

A pity they haven't announced which DAYS they will arrive and depart CBR. Helps when making longterm plans...

My step daughter arrived last week in Bali on a Batik Airways flight from SYD. She reported that it was a no frills flight with no food or entertainment.

My wife inquired at a Canberra travel agent about buying a return flight to DPS from CBR. With travel agent fees, the price quoted was more than $800. She mentioned the Batik Airways advertised prices and was told that they were promotional prices and no longer available.
