AirAsia Indonesia Review
<p>Flying from Perth to Bali leaves you with a handful of budget airline choices: Batik Air, Citilink, Jetstar, and AirAsia. These no-frills airlines will get you there without requiring you to take out a second mortgage, but you’ll need to pay extra for any luxuries—like checked bags, meals, picking your seat and even drinking water. It's all part of the budget airline charm, right?</p><p>Having been let down by Jetstar before (delays and a general lack of enthusiasm for actually flying on time), I decided to try my luck with AirAsia. Let’s just say it didn’t turn out too badly.</p><p>Read the full review below or watch the four minute video review here. </p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4Bnpwu9cXMI" title="YouTube" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" data-provider="youtube"></iframe>
