2 min read
KUALA LUMPUR : Batik Air unveiled its new unbundled baggage fares, featuring ‘zero check-in baggage’ option at a lower price. This revised fare is applicable only for Domestic and ASEAN routes, and for bookings commencing 1st May, with travel dates starting from June 1st, 2024.
Under the new fare family, passengers who choose the Super Saver Economy Class will now enjoy enhanced flexibility and the choice to either purchase baggage allowance or travel without any, affording them the option to travel light. Passengers can pre-purchase baggage allowances on Batik Air’s website for a lower rate while booking their flight, or at the airport Check-in Counter at a standard price upon checking-in.
Commenting on the policy change, Chief Executive Officer of Batik Air, Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy stated, “We recognise the diverse and changing needs of air travellers, especially in the Domestic and ASEAN markets. This revision aims to offer our customers the increased flexibility they seek for their short-haul travel, allowing them to travel light and benefit from lower airfares without being burdened with unnecessary costs.”
“At the same time, the pre-purchase baggage options offered at reasonable prices enable travellers to tailor their travel plans and manage their choices during their booking process on Batik Air website. By implementing these new fares, we aim to make air travel with us more affordable for the savvy air traveller,” he said.
Meanwhile, passengers who opt for the Economy Class Value fare will be entitled to 10kgs free baggage allowance whilst the Economy Class Flexi fare will benefit from a 20kgs free baggage allowance.
As the aviation industry continues to rapidly shift, Batik Air remains committed to enhancing the overall travel experience for its passengers through continuous engagement with our customers and the market to meet the changing preferences and needs.
