Recent developments and "innovations" on Indonesian airlines' websites in flight reconfirmation and online check-in.
One of the more frequently asked questions Mau Ke Mana receives is "Do I need to reconfirm my flight?"
Five years ago when almost all tickets were paper tickets, it was definitely a good idea. These days, you can do it yourself for most airlines by going to the airline's website.
In addition, three airlines - Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air and Air Asia - now offer online check-in between 4 and 24 hours in advance. It is free and optional for Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air, but Air Asia is taking it to a new level:

To encourage passengers to use its online check-in service, Air Asia now charges a fee of Rp30 000 ($US3.50, € 2,50) per passenger who checks in at the airport.
Below is a guide about how to reconfirm flights and - where possible - check-in online.
Air Asia | Batavia Air | Citilink | Garuda Indonesia
Lion Air & Wings Air | Merpati | Sriwijaya Air
Smaller airlines e.g. Trigana Air, TransNusa, Kal-Star do not offer online check-in or reconfirmation services on their websites.

Please ask us either via email or through the "Contact" section of this page.
Sorry to say, the client cannot do it directly, because it requires a login and we can't let you see other passenger's data for privacy reasons.
ONLINE CHECK-IN
To avoid the Rp30 000 fee, we will complete the online check-in process straight after issuing the tickets. (Please note that seat selection is already done when the ticket is purchased). We will then forward the boarding passes as a pdf/Acrobat Reader file to the client.
