Join me for another one of my flight reviews as this time we I check out Malaysian carrier Batik Air for the first time and find out whether its worth spending just $90USD to fly with them in Business Class on their Boeing 737-800 on a 1 hour flight domestically within Malaysia between Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi! Ultimately I seek to answer the question as to whether all the hype of a sub $100 business class actually still delivers as a good deal in real terms!
In this review I seek to put Batik Air's Boeing 737-800 business class to the test to see how one of the fastest growing airlines in South East Asia that can arguably be classed as a middle ground airline in 2023 between low cost and full service models performs in offering its business class product. I will assess everything from the ground handling experience, to the aircraft and and state of their business class recliner seats, on board business class food and beverage offerings and of course value for money and ultimately wherever its worth your time and money flying Batik Air in Business Class in 2023 even admits the backdrop of a seemingly very affordable business class product! In this review I will also offer my perspective on why I believe Batik Air's domestic business class seems so affordable and whether it is a product worth paying significantly more for on longer routes between Australia and Malaysia!
