Thinking of where to go for your next holiday?
You may want to consider adding Indonesia to your list, as budget carrier Scoot just announced the launch of two new services to Belitung and Pontianak.
Flights to Belitung — a tropical island in the eastern coast of Sumatra known for its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters — will begin on May 3 twice weekly.
Meanwhile, flights to West Kalimantan’s culturally rich capital of Pontianak will launch on June 29 with three weekly flights.
The new flights can be booked on Scoot’s website and mobile application from April 9, before being available on other booking platforms progressively after.
Prices for one-way tickets begin at $99 to Belitung and $129 to Pontianak, inclusive of taxes.
Flights to these new destinations will be operated by the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft.
