I definitly reccommend Chris as your “Travel Agent” because he is a very hard-worker. He always suggests you better itineraries in order to save money and time. He was very helpful to us. Terima kasih Chris!

Aldo Galante, Buenos Aires, Argentina

I cannot speak highly enough of Mau Ke Mana and Chris. Flights to and from Pangkalan Bun in Kalimantan seemed impossible to book online – my tour operator in Borneo suggested Chris and the problem was solved. I will certainly recommend this company. A huge thank you, guys!

Denise Martin, Ettalong Beach NSW, Australia

I do not leave testimonials normally however I came across this travel agent on line after scouting thru for tours hotels etc in East Java. From the first contact I found Chris to be probably the most efficient with an absolute professional approach AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING and it shows in the results. CHRIS PLEASE COME TO PERTH for my future travel arrangement 3 bookings all so smooth Well done Chris You lightened our load. Thank You Harry and Maryke Newell

Harry Newell, Perth, Australia

WOW. What can I say? All the reviews on Mau Ke Mana and Chris are accurate. At the busiest time of the year Chris efficiently saw to all my internal travel arrangements in Indonesia. ….even working on Sunday and Christmas eve ! Great, easy to understand instructions (for one who is not so technically savvy ) and friendly advice on suggestions for tours which are outside their business main stream. You can trust these guys.

Terry Brockhall, Brisbane, Australia

Amazing service from Chris at Mau Ke Mana, I can’t recommend highly enough!
We have a reasonable number of internal Indonesian flights next year and it was becoming a nightmare trying to tie them all together and work out best routes (not to mention wondering if we’d be able to pay for them once we’d found them).
From my initial request at 9:30 one evening plus a few extra ‘what if’s’ thrown in along the way, here we are 2.5 days later with everything booked and all the itineraries in my inbox – Chris has saved me a very considerable amount of time and effort!
Thanks so much Chris, your help has been most appreciated. All the best until our next holiday in your part of the world :)

Shannon Earnshaw, Perth, Australia

The service I received from Chris was over and above what I expected. He booked my domestic flights as well as providing great advice on hotels and airport taxes. He was prompt and I would strongly recommend his services. Thanks heaps Chris!

Tracey Wilson, Gold Coast, Australia

MKM arranged train and plane journeys inside Java and helped in the booking of a hotel for a very enjoyable stay at Yogyakarta. The service from MKM was efficient and response to my emails was very fast. The payment method was easy and secure. Most important was the very valuable advice given about train and plane journeys. This gave me great confidence about travelling. I would always involve MKM in any future travel in Indonesia

Mal, Perth, Australia

Thanks Chris. All went well with the flights you booked for us around Indonesia. Really appreciate how much easier you made everything. Will be using you guys again in the future & have already recomended you & your great web site.

Warren, Karratha, Australia

We recently booked flights from Denpasar to Pangkalan Bun via Jakarta and then back again through Chris. It was so simple and all our questions were answered quickly and respectfully. Chris was efficient and provided us with so much useful information. Payment was straightforward. And at the time of flying everything went smoothly. I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. Gold stars!

Susi, Adelaide, Australia

This is a good service. Its very hard to book internal flights in Indonesia from Australia. Chris from Mau Ke Mana booked our Denpasar to Labuan Bajo flights very promptly. Recommend!!

Jeannie, Hobart, Australia

Very prompt service in purchase of train tickets.

Peter, Sydney, Australia

I found it extremely easy booking my rail tickets for my trip through Indonesia with the website – “Indonesiamatters”. The process was straight-forward and I received my e-tickets quickly after finalising the details. They arrived with no problem, and the instructions of how to use the tickets once I got to the train stations in Jakarta and Yogyakarta were very helpful.

David, Sydney, Australia

I am extremely impressed at how easy the whole process was! I am leaving for Bali today and needed to organise domestic transfers. Chris was able to do this for me with a 24 hour turnaround

I was certainly weary in the beginning about using an unfamiliar site but as it was recommedned by intrepid tours and after reading all the testimonials, and now my own experience with MKM, I will definitely recommend this site to all my friends travelling to Indonesia

Thanks again for all your help Chris!!

Anna, Melbourne, Australia

Many thanks to Chris for organising my train tickets between Surabaya and Yogyakarta …emails were prompt and informative. The process for payment was clearly outlined and I had the tickets within a couple of hours payment. Chris also provided extra information for places of interest in Surabaya . I’ll definitely use MKM for my next trip.

Sue, Wollongong, Australia

After having great difficulty booking internal flights in Indonesia, we found a link to this site on a Thorntree Forum post. We clicked through and had a quick look and decided to email them. Chris responded very promptly and provided a quote that was alot cheaper than another travel agent we were referred to, who was based in Medan. The transaction was seamless. Very quick and easy. We would recommend this site to anyone who, like us, enjoys having tickets booked and paid for in advanced – as opposed to just showing up at the airport and hoping to buy a ticket on the next flight. Thanks to Chris and the team at Mau Ke Mana!

Jamee & Kurt, Gold Coast, Australia

The seemingly simple task of booking airline tickets online from Bali to Lombok proved impossible, even with a Melbourne travel agent. It wasn’t until I came across a really good recommendation for Mau Ke Mana on Lonely Planet’s Thorntree that we could succesfully book our flights. We were pretty specific about what we wanted and received all the information we needed within 24 hours and booked and confirmed our flights within the next 24 hours (and this was over the weekend!).

We highly recommend Mau Ke Mana!

Kristin, Melbourne, Australia

I have been dealing with Chris and MKM for only a few months, and the service has been really excellent. Very obliging, patient and understanding of the kinds of issues and challenges faced by those w ho travel frequently – especially when they travel solo.
MKM responds very quickly and efficiently to all questions and requests.
I love the website – very practical and useful info there.

Lea Davis, Melbourne, Australia

Hi,

I recently used MKM to book some domestic flights from Jakarta-Balikpapan on Citilink.

Everything was very professional and easy, no hassles…

will continue to use this service again in future.

Thanks guys!

Perth Guy, Perth, Australia

I was a little concerned with booking tickets from Lombok to Denpasar on line as I had heard of various con artists scamming people however based on recommendations on Trip Advisor I chose Chris and am glad I did. My requests were handled promptly and the process was painless – I now have the tickets in my possession and am very happy with the service.
I would recommend Chris for your travel requirements in Indonesia

Michael Baker, Two Rocks, Australia

Excellent service by Chris. Thanks

Stephen, Melbourne, Australia

I needed to book a date- critical train but couldn’t do it myself from overseas using an overseas credit card – I was really impressed with how quick and helpful MKM proved, resolving things in no time. Thanks Chris!

Kevin Kiernan, Fern Tree, Australia

These guys are fantastic! I had so much trouble booking internal flights in Indonesia. I contacted Chris online and he organised everything. He took the hassell out of everything. Flights were booked and sorted in a few days. Chris was trustworthy and and all payments were professional and through trusted methods. I will be recommending this company to all my friends and would not hesitate to book through them again.

Cara, Exmouth, Australia

I can also recommend Mau Ke Mana for booking of flights. It was impossible to organise internal flights from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo, Flores for my recent trip out to Komodo national park. a few emails to Chris and it was done. too easy. Thanks guys!

Virginia Crozier, Sydney, Australia

These folks are great and their service is invaluable if you want to book an internal flight in Indonesia; I’ve been dealing with Chris who has gone above and beyond for us. From the initial booking and options chased up for us, through to Chris personally going to Merpati’s head office to make a change for us after our flight was changed in conflict with another flight, the service has never faultered. Great work guys; with so much dubious customer service around these days, I am never hesitant giving props to those who offer a good experience.

Mike C, Adelaide, Australia

We contacted Mau Ke Mana in order to organise flights from Lombok to Denpasar. We have been very happy with the service and information we have received in regards to flights and additional information on our upcoming trip to Indonesia. Chris has been prompt in replying to all emails and we now have tickets booked in readiness for our trip. We would definitely use this company again. Thanks

Rick Bright, Victoria, Australia

Trustworthy, efficient and friendly! I was highly impressed by the service provided by Chris at “Mau ke mana”. I have been telling my friends about it.

Chris took the hassle out of our recent train travel, suggested the best trains, provided schedules and sent our tickets by courier to be at our hotel when we checked in. What could be better than that!

Travelling by train in Indonesia is a great way to get around, see the countryside, talk to the locals, avoid the hassle of traffic jams and delays. Trains are comfortable, non-smoking, air-conditioned and generally on time. In recent years, more executive-class carriages are being added to popular routes. Trouble is it has not been easy to get schedules and book tickets in advance for those of us outside Indonesia when planning our trip. “Mau ke mana” is the way to go. We will be back!

Barbara Burr, Adelaide, Australia

I recently made enquiries with MKM about flying to Lombok as we are heading to the Gili Islands and didnt want to travel by boat. i hammered Chris with email after email about what he thought was the best way for us to get there, what if??? and what ifs???? and he always replied promptly and in a professional manner.
He kept me up to date with our ticketing when we finally decided what we wanted to do and sent me several links which will be very useful for our travels
Thanks very much for all your advice and help Chris

Tracey Hatch, Bawley Point, Australia

I have just returned to Australia after my trip from Denpasar to Jakarta by train/bus/ferry/car.
The train bookings, plane from Jakarta to Singapore and some of the
hotel bookings were made through Chris and Indonesia Matters.
They were absolutely flawless!!!
I just presented the printed voucher at each station ticket office and an official ticket was immediately printed and handed to me.
The trains were all very good or excellent and ran pretty much on time.
The air conditioning is excellent and there was plenty of food on offer on most services.
I can not recommend Chris’s booking service more highly and I loved the trains.
Thanks also to Chris for his general advice which helped to make this an unforgettable experience.

Alan Wirth, Mount Barker, Australia

I was so stressed about booking domestic flights in Indonesia. It was such a struggle! Thankfully, someone suggested MKM on a travel forum, and thank God they did! The team made everything so easy-we had a lot of hang ups including late passport deliveries, and strange layover times that we needed the team to be flexible with, and it was not an issue at all! They also made great suggestions for taxi use and hotels, even though we didn’t book through them since we had no idea what we were doing before we left. Thanks again team! I’ve mentioned you a few times in my travel blog-all positive! pieknamermaid.tumblr.com/

Natasha, Townsville, Australia

I have no hesitation recommending Chris to organise your flights within Indonesia. For my son and I, Chris had flights quoted, booked, and E-tickets issued within hours of my first contact with him. All at a very reasonable price. Not only that, he also provided us with a lot of useful additional information relevant to travel to and in Indonesia. Thank you very much.

Marc Tomlinson, Margaret River, Australia

I really appreciate the service offerred by Chris and Mau Ke Mana, it certainly simplified the booking of domestic flights in Indonesia. The reliablity of the payment options meant security and peace of mind. Thankyou

Nicki, Albany, Australia

Wonderful service from Chris. He organised our train tickets promptly and booked the seats to see the best scenery on our journey. Quick replies to emails, very professional service. Thank you Mau Ke Mana

Lynette Ward-Musicka, Mareeba, Australia

Chris organised a train ticket for me form Jakrta to Yogya. It was all really quick and easy with no fuss. Payment was via paypal so I had no qualms whatsoever. I would definitely recommend his travel booking service to anyone in need.

Gerad, Toowoomba, Australia

So glad to stumble upon Mau Ke Mana while trying to book domestic Indonesian flights. Someone recommended your service on TripAdvisor and I couldn’t thank them enough! Chris was very helpful and efficient. He also provided us some tips and addressed some concerns regarding travels in Indonesia. I’ll definitely use MKM again. Terima kasih.

Yuki, Sydney, Australia

Thanks, Chris. Mine was a complicated itinerary involving multiple legs requiring different airlines, and it was solved via email and with a single payment. Saved me hours.

Andrew Buchanan, Sydney, Australia

A big thank you to Chris and the team at Indonesia matters. We have a young family and are heading to Lombok for a part of our next trip to Bali. I was unable to book domestic flights within Indonesia and was a little worried about arriving and having no flights organised. I searched around and found a few sites offering a fare booking service however, they were expensive. Chris only charged a small booking fee which for peace of mind was more than reasonable. We have the e-tickets now and it was so simple to pay via paypal. I would have no hesitation in recommending that you use this service as they are so professional and prompt. We will use this service every time we return. It makes Indonesia so accessible and you can plan your trip in advance. Thanks Chris for all your help.

Sue, Sydney, Australia

Just wanted to say thanks for all your advice on Indonesia.
We had a fantastic time and the flights worked really well.
The hotel recommendations were great too, just what we needed.
What a great country, the people were just lovely …

Denise, Sydney, Australia

I was recommended MKM by Reefseekers in Flores. Chris was really helpful from the first contact offering advice, plenty of options and patience with a fussy customer! We had to wait a little while for our flights to become available and he didn’t forget us – real customer service. I have flown internally in Indonesia before and have only experienced a system where you have to pay wads of cash for the flight tickets on the morning of the flight. It’s a pleasure to be able to do everything by email and arrange a super quick, secure payment with Paypal. Now I just have to enjoy the holiday!

Rhian Thomas, Sydney, Australia

The whole booking process was handled professionally by Chris. We were kept up to date all the time. Thanks to Chris and the whole team we have our flights sorted out. Highly recommended !

Andreas Hadiwidjaja, Leichhardt, Australia

I recently booked a Lion Air flight from Jakarta to Manado and was impressed with the good service! All emails were answered within hours and gave lots of detailed information on anything you might want to know. Making payments through paypal is very easy, safe and free! Within two days after my first inquiry I got hold of my e-tickets! Very efficient and professional!

I’m really happy having found Mau Ke Mana flight bookings and can only recommend it – it saved me a lot of hassle with airlines that don’t accept foreign credit cards!

Martina, Salzburg, Austria.

one word: amazing!
Chris has booked us a flight from Denpasar to Maumere in an incredible speed. The entire process from us writing the first mail to him to him sending us the tickets took about 1 hour. Thanks again to Chris and his team!
two more words: highly recommended!

Markus, Innsbruck, Austria

Chris never sleeps. Although on the other end of the world I always get answers promptly. Thanks for the quick and easy support.

Christine, Vienna, Austria

I can only recommend booking with Mau Ke Mana!

Without them I wouldn’t have been able to book any ticket I needed to travel around Indonesia. There are several good reasons for booking with Mau Ke Mana. They are reliable, very fast (got the tickets within a day) and very friendly. If you have any questions, Chris will answer them immediately and tries to help wherever he can.

I’m really glad that I have found them and can only recommend them to any traveler having hassle with booking flights!

Great Service!

Robert, Steyr, Austria

Chris , thank you for your fast and good service.
And for shore, next time i will work with you again.
voor de Belgen en Nederlanders onder ons, zeer betrouwbaar, efficient en snel.
Nergens geen problemen mee gehad. Chris doet meer dan zijn werk.

Thank you Chris

Patrick Boeren, Essen, Belgium

Mau Ke Mana saved our honeymoon !

Usually we manage to book our flights and arrange our travels quite well, but this flight from Surabay to Pangkalan Bun turned out to be a nightmare. Honestly, we tried everything and were about to give up hope … Luckily I found a positive review of Indonesia matters on a forum for travellers.
And here we are some days later: our tickets just arrived and we’re soooo relieved! Chris and David have been so professional and kind! Do not search any further: they will help you with a “smile” :-)

So looking forward to discover Indonesia!

Thanks again

Lili and Fred

Lili & Fred, Nivelles, Belgium

Chris advised us very well on the best options for our trip in Java. Since we are travelling around Christmas and New-Year, a lot of trains were already booked full, so Chris gave us all other options. Once we deciced on our trip, the tickets were booked within the day.
Chris responds to e-mails within one day, so that is also an excellent service!

Thanks Chris, hopefully the weather will be nice when we come! :-)

Caroline Suys, Kessel-Lo, Belgium

I had to book some domestic Indonesian flights and Chris handled that promptly and impeccably; he’s also really helpful if you have any question and want some advice.

Alexis Cousein, Boechout, Belgium

Excellente agence, rapide et facile. A conseiller !

Cédric de Bellefroid, Chaumont-Gistoux, Belgium

Very clear, quick and to the point help for my train travel bookings. Thanks !

Joris, Brussels, Belgium

Thank you Chris and all your staff. You are awesome! All your assistance was perfect. Good and fast communication. Flights booked as requested. And the most important thing: HONESTY! Flights were cheaper than previously quoted and MKM refound me USD 200 on my Paypal account. I will definitely use your services again and reccomend to all my friends. See ya in Indo!

Mauricio Mello, Porto Alegre, Brazil

I suppose many people know about the problem which European and other non-Asian tourists are facing when trying to purchase domestic and/or international air tickets to Indonesia. The good news is that Mau Ke Mana’s team is here to help you. I really appreciate their assistance and would like to recommend their service to anyone who is planning to visit Indonesia. Thanks a lot once again Chris and take care!

Alexander Alexandrov, Sofia, Bulgaria

I was not able to book the domestic flights online that I wanted with my Canadian credit card, so I contacted MKM. Chris was super helpful and efficient. He answered promptly and was very professional. He was able to advise us on the flights available and current booking loads, informing us about a large international conference happening in Bali that was going to have repercussions for flights to and from the island. My family and I were really grateful for his help and we’re so glad that we decided to make all the arrangements beforehand. Would definitely recommend Chris’ services to anyone wanting to book a domestic flight in Indonesia!

Martina Iring, Vancouver, Canada

I was very lucky to have found Mau Ke Mana. Dealing with them was so easy – they were professional, responded promptly, and provided a great deal of helpful information, whether regarding flights or tips about the country. As Ellen from Toronto mentioned, they were also transparent thus allowing you to make your own choices. Being able to book my tickets before I left home made my travels smoother since it was one less thing to worry about; even when I had to make last minute changes, they were able to assist as best as they could. Highly recommended and would definitely do business with Mau Ke Mana again. Thank you Chris and David!

Irene, Vancouver, Canada

MKM was great to work with. They were very expedient in processing our requests and providing us the right information to make decisions on out options. They were very professional and friendly at the same time.I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Chris in particular was a delight to work with.

Megan, Calgary, Canada

After trying to book with some other tour operators in Indonesia, we found Chris and his team. They were quick to respond, transparent, and got us affordable prices. Crazy not to organize your trip with them – especially since booking directly with Indonesian airlines is a nightmare from outside of the country. Thanks so much!

Ellen, Toronto, Canada
