Policy as of 2025
Before you pack
3 points
- Bring exact cash (IDR) for the per-board fee since it's collected at check-in, not online
- On connecting itineraries, budget the IDR 200,000 fee for every leg, not just once for the whole journey
- If travelling in a group with 5+ boards on one Lion Air flight, arrive early - excess boards over the 5-per-flight cap can be held for a later flight
What riders report at the counter
1 report
- Surfboards cannot be pre-booked on Batik Air or Lion Air — the fee is paid in cash at the check-in counter on each leg, and connecting itineraries are charged per segment, not per trip.
