Malaysian doesn't fly KK-DPS direct, only through KUL. That would use up a full day of traveling. Air Asia has 1 flight a day on T, Th, Sat to KK from Jakarta, AK 6713 leaving at 7:20 pm. I'd have to find a flight from DPS or YOG on another airline that wouldn't have too much time on the ground transferring. I'd have to claim the luggage in Jakarta and recheck on to KK. I imagine I'd need to allow at least 2 hours as the departing flight is international.

Any suggestions of airlines to do this? Is it worth spending some time in Jakarta, maybe 1 or 2 nights?
