We can also operate the trip without international flights if you prefer.Domestic flightsIt is worth being aware that flights within Indonesia often do not follow their schedules leading to delayson the ground. In a worst case scenario amendments to the airline and route you are travelling will benecessary. Our representatives will be there to assist you if you encounter any of these problems as theyare best placed to help you at the time.For domestic flights in Indonesia, Audley will always endeavour to use EU approved airlines - GarudaAirlines, Mandala Airlines, Airfast and Ekspres Transportasi Antarbenua (operating as PremiAir), MetroBatavia and Indonesia Air Asia - where appropriate as all other airlines in the country are subject to an EUoperating ban.Many of the non EU approved airlines have in fact passed the strict safety requirements of neighbouringcountries they fly to including Singapore, Australia and Japan and the operating ban only prevents themfrom flying in to EU airspace, of which none of these airlines have ever had routes. On this tour you willfly from Java to Kalimantan on a non EU approved airline as none of the airlines listed above fly this route.We recommend you read current FCO advice and ensure you are comfortable with this.
