You can buy air tickets online for Batavia (Sriwijaya too)

I actually stumbled across this agent online site whilst doing a few searches. Anyone used it and can comment? It seems the markup is fairly low on the flights.
TIKET2 INDONESIA. Find cheap Indonesian flights and book plane tickets online.

Gee did you hear anything about Tiket2? I was shocked when my google search pulled it up. Never seen such a slick site for Indo tickets. It's not perfect, but it can be used as a meta search engine to determine which of the dozen small Indo airlines fly an obscure route on a particular day - very helpful tool.

I can't seem to pull up any kind of Express Air site. I see the url but it never loads. Anyone got a way to check Express Air's schedule to Sorong?

No one actually replied and I haven't tried them as yet. Be interested to see if anyone has used them. Atm I just email the agent and they come back to me with flight routes and costs. If you happen to book with them please describe your experience .

Thanks Wisnu.
Can't help but notice all the CANCELLED here -- is that still common?

 

[Wisnu]

Sorry Chep
I didn't make it clear - we saw that schedule in Sorong on Dec. 30, 2012
wondered why all Batavia flights are canceled.

second, it partly answer you question for express air schedule.

We used Sriwijaya and everything was right

Batavia ceased flying at 00:00 on the 31st January 2013.. I think Tiger Airways are looking to cover their routes.

Tiger Airways has a subsidiary called Mandala Air. It has been announced that Citilink, Express, and Mandala have acquired 20 of Batavia's 42 routes. In sum:
Citilink is taking Jakarta routes to: Makassar, Denpasar, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Pangkalpinang and Tanjung Pandan.
Express is taking: Jakarta to Tanjung Karang and from Pontianak to Yogyakarta.
Mandala is taking: Jakarta to Singapore, Pekanbaru, Padang, and Surabaya.

I'm most interested in learning about options to places that only Indonesia domestic carriers serve, like Sorong. Neither Citilink nor Mandala are currently serving Sorong; Express already has Sorong routes, so maybe they will pick up the time slots from Batavia. Merpati/Nusantara and Sriwijaya might take them as well. It would be nice if Lion/Wings took them, though.

Other than Sorong, I would be also interested in knowing which airlines will take Batavia slots to Ambon (2 flights per day) and the Maumere/Kupang/Bali rotation which is quite interesting when you want to dive East Nusa Tenggara.

Nope, not yet because I don't have any problems with my french Visa card for paying online (and I haven't used Expressair) hence why would I pay an intermediate?

Just FYI, I used the ticketIndonesia.info site, worked fine. After a few days they sent confirmation. I used it to book lion air because it wasn't taking my us credit card.
