Indo Flights and Travel Details :)

Here is the basic itinerary for the Indo trip.

!!BE SURE TO Check out the NEW KANDUI VIDEO!!
  • July 4th - 1:40 am depart from lax via Malaysia Airlines flight 95 to KUL kuala lumpur(need to be at the airport 3hrs ahead of time)
  • July 5th - Arrive in Kuala Lumpur @ 12:15pm , proceed to hotel downtown. Chris stayed here last summer and it was awesome. Check out some pics of KUL
  • July 6th - Go to water park and potentially rent out the sunway lagoon wave pool @ $300/hr, Move to a hotel next to the airport. Goal is to get acclimated to climate and time change, have fun...
  • July 7th - Depart KUL for Padang @ 7:50am on Air Asia flight 942, arrive PDG at 8am (1hr time change), then stay on hotel in Padang for 1 night. Per kandui recommendations the evening of the 7th is the latest anyone should arrive to Padang.
  • July 8th - fly out to island and start surfing
  • July 19th - Leave Kandui Resort and fly back to PDG, we will be in PDG by 12 noon. Spend the night in PDG.
  • July 20th - Depart PDG on Air Asia flight 943 @ 8:30am arriving in KUL @ 10:40am, switch terminals and depart on Malaysia air flight 94 to LAX at 3:15 pm.
  • July 20th - 6:30pm arrive at lax

There are two flights that you need to pay for: the flight from lax is booked and I have already sent you your reservation locator number. Call Malaysia air @ 800-552-9264 to pay your fare and to pick your seat. Your reservation is being held for 1 week. I am in seat 39H on the flight out and back.

The second flight is with Air Asia and you can book your flight online with the information provided above, and or call me with any questions you may have.

If you are trying to get airline miles or use airline miles Bill Ivers said that you can book the same flight through Delta for the same price. Delta books the flight through china air (one of their partners) but it is operated by Malaysia airlines.

I paid: 1584.70 RT through Malaysia air, and $78 RT for the flight with air asia.

If you choose to not join the group in Kuala Lumpur, then the latest you should arrive to Padang regardless of how you get there is the evening of July 7th.

There are basically 3 ways to get to Padang:

  • Lax to singapore, Singapore to Padang
  • Lax to singapore, singapore to jakarta, jakarta to padang
  • Lax to Kuala Lumpur, KL to PDG

If you want to be hard headed and shop yourself to death on flights as Chris and I already did for you , then I recommend SideStep and Vayama travel sites to find your flight. Just remember that the shorter the flight time the better, and the fewer connections and different airlines that you use the less likely your surfboards will get lost or fucked up.

Our flight to KUL is a direct flight but it does stop in Taipei to get gas. That means me and my bags don't change planes. We are flying on a 747-400 which is one of the largest commercial airliners in the world. Then the flight from KUL to PDG on air asia is a short 1 hour flight. Air Asia is malaysia's equivalent to southwest airlines and has been in operation since 1986, All of air asias fleet of planes are air bus', which is what southwest uses, except all of air asia's planes are model year 2000 and newer.

Call me if you have any questions or concerns... Conner
