Hey everyone, has anyone got up to date info on the cost of taking boards on Air Asia from Jakarta to Banda? I've heard on the grapevine it's $100 / board. Can anyone confirm if this is true. Thanks in advance.

I haven’t flown with airasia in years. The only airline I know of in indo that includes boards in your checked luggage is Garuda and possibly citilink . I flew superjet ( lion group ) last year going up to Padang and it was 200,000 rp ($20) per board , per leg , they don’t count a board bag as 1 surfboard, they will ask how many you have and check if they doubt you . So bali Jakarta being one leg then Jakarta Padang being second leg . Garuda gives you 20 kg , if your board bag comes in at that weight then no charge . I have been told first hand by people flying Bali to Bima ( sumbawa ) that it’s 1,000,000 rp ( $100 ) per board . For all the fucking around low budget airlines give you in indo , I believe Garuda is the best option .

Don't fly Air Asia...just don't do it to yourself.
