Direct flights to Bali from Australia have never been easier with Batik Air.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seat\u00a0and the\u00a0route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bali<\/a> (DPS) to Melbourne (MEL). Seat 29C on a Boeing 737 MAX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 hours 40 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a loyalty scheme?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through Batik Air Club, travellers can earn Batik Air Club Points and work their way from the free Silver membership level to Gold or Platinum tier, with perks ranging from members-only discounts to complimentary checked baggage, priority boarding and check-in, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was the airport experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) can be busy at the best of times, but the Batik Air check-in desk was pleasantly quiet, located in one of the more secluded areas of the bustling hub. Check-in itself was simple and smooth, and while security can be a bit of a bottleneck, once you\u2019re through the dining and shopping options across the departures terminal are varied and well-positioned, so you never felt too far from that last-minute purchase before boarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was the cabin & seat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cabin was clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable seat pitch of 32\u201d and adjustable headrest for added support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was the in-flight dining & drinks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to streamline their service and minimise waste, Batik recommend pre-purchasing your meal ahead of departure (though sales are of course available aboard). The menu features a wide array of Malaysian bites, from nasi lemak ayam (coconut rice with chicken) to vegan-friendly idli with sambhar (spiced lentil and vegetable stew), alongside familiar snacks and drinks to keep you going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the service like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From check-in to disembarkation, the crew were consistently patient and professional. Polite interactions always make for a much smoother travelling experience, and the Batik team helped ensure the journey was an easy one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Running frequent, direct routes to Bali from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth \u2013 along with direct flights to Kuala Lumpur from Sydney and Perth \u2013 Batik offers comfortable and reliable service at a budget-conscious price point. For one of Australia\u2019s most popular flight paths, the value here is undeniable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
