Much friendlier times than JQ on that route!

Indeed. However given the choice I would take my chances with JQ. QZ is on my DNF list.

35 min turnaround in DRW seems...ambitious.

Is there any grounds for DNF for Air Asia Indonesia? I'm really struggling to find a "decent" op out of the 5 plying the route Perth to Bali. Not a great choice between them!!Batik, CitiLink, Lion Air, Jetstar, Air Asia Indonesia!! I was hovering over the Air Asia over the rest.....maybe!!

I have flown Citliink a few times internally in Indonesia and thought they were fine. They're Garuda's LCC.

I’d be another who would only fly QZ as an absolute last resort and only in a situation of need. You’ve likely already googled their name and ‘incidents’.
I’ve flown Citilink over 20 times and Batik a couple of times. How do Batik’s J fares compare? If you can get the ‘Green Seat’ and row 1 or exit row on QG, that would be my choice. Also depends on timing I guess. I’d not be keen to fly any of them in Y overnight…

Thanks for that. Yes want to avoid any Y class overnighter.
