well I got it to work today, although seems I still had to do the "twice to get it to take thing."

LOL...well done!

Paying on some Indonesian websites.....You never know if the charge will appear once, twice, or three times...or at all. I have been lucky so far. I'm glad to hear it worked out!

I plan to use Batik air

Good luck.

Good luck.

I flew Batik Air and had a really good experience. I thought they were much better than Sriwijaya Air and domestic Garuda which I flew on during both trips in Indonesia. Both from a service aspect (in flight and on ground) as well as cleanliness/newness of plane, etc.

What is the problem with batik air? I don't have many options

Tiket.com has a process to white list foreign credit cards. Contact them and they'll explain the process. Works for me

Just a reminder than in Indonesia, schedules changes and disappears regularly.. and usually you won't be contacted by either the agent or the airline. Happened to one of my Batik flights. So check occasionally that the flight is still on sale.. and it suddenly disappears you contact the airline.

I flew them without issue in October. Probably not as reliable as Garuda but I did not have any issues...but it’s purely anecdotal as it was only 1 experience of many that others have had.

For what it's worth in the anecdotal realm, given the choice I'd fly Batik over Lion Air. Even though Lion A. is the parent company of Batik they somehow seem to let Batik run a little...nicer. (Lion Air motto: We MAKE People Fly!", emphasis mine.)

Batik typically has newer aircraft, maybe not quite as cramped and they even serve mostly edible meals on long hauls. We're still talking low cost airlines but I'd also give a nod to Batik, having flown both on the Jakarta/Manado run last December. // ww

The people you've booked your diving with might be able to help also. Only time I've booked indonIndo domestic flights I did via visiting the airlines counter at the domestic terminal in Bali once I arrived.
