Bookings are open for Batik Air’s new service to Auckland via Perth from Kuala Lumpur. With six flights weekly, starting 24th Aug 2023, the airline will use their Boeing 737-8 aircraft, configured with 12 Business and 150 Economy Class seats. This service should especially appeal to travellers who prefer to break their journey, rather than sit through a longer direct flight.
