Batik Air is running a Business Class Flash Sale. Book two seats in one reservation and the second seat is free. Book Batik Air Business Class by 10 November.
You must fly by 3 December. The sale covers selected domestic routes and flights to Singapore. Domestic Business Class fares start from RM399.
Here is how the offer works, where you can fly and what to check before you pay.
How Batik Air free seat works
The airline calls the deal a Business Class Flash Sale. Bookings are open until 10 November. Travel must happen by 3 December.
The rule is simple. Book two eligible Business Class seats under the same reservation. The second seat is then free.
In other words, you pay for one seat and the airline covers the other. Both seats must sit in one booking. The two travellers must fly together. Only Business Class seats count.
The airline pitches the deal at couples, friends and family members who travel together. In short, you need a travel partner.
You can book on the Batik Air website or through your travel agent. The report also names the airline’s mobile app.
Domestic Business Class fares start from RM399. If the lowest fare is open on your date, two people could share that one fare.
However, the report gives no price for Singapore. Check the fare for your date before you decide.
This is not the airline’s first deal this year. In April, it also cut fares by up to 35%.
Where you can fly with the promo
First, the sale covers selected flights. They leave from Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 and from Subang airport.
Subang matters here. It is the airport where Batik Air brought its jets back to Subang SkyPark.
The domestic list is long. Sarawak and Sabah dominate it, with Bintulu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Miri, Sibu and Tawau.
On the peninsula, the list names Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Langkawi and Penang.
Penang is on the list. Batik Air also runs a direct Batam to Penang route, which helps travellers who cross the Strait.
Flights to Singapore are part of the sale too. However, the report names no Singapore airport.
Not every flight on these routes will count. The offer covers selected flights only.
The airline’s own poster ends its route list with “and more”. Check the website for other routes.
Also check the departure airport. A Subang flight and a KLIA flight can suit different travellers.
What to check before you book
The airline says the offer is subject to terms and conditions. The report does not list them.
For example, it does not say if taxes and fees count towards the free seat. Check this before you pay.
It also gives no rules on baggage, refunds or date changes. Read the fare rules for your flight.
The cabin is the main draw. Batik Air Business Class seats are full leather, with 45 inches, or 114 cm, of legroom.
Business Class also brings priority services and extra baggage. Those perks can add value for a long weekend trip.
Because the report names no Singapore airport, confirm where that flight lands. Next, plan your dates first. Then check the fare for both seats in a single booking.
Finally, the booking window is short. Compare dates early, because the sale ends on 10 November.
