Indonesia AirAsia

West Sumatra is about to become more accessible to Singapore-based adventurers, thanks to AirAsia’s launch of daily flights to Padang, the primary gateway to the surfbeaten Mentawai Islands and the scenic highlands around Bukittinggi. Starting on February 9, Airbus A320 aircraft will be deployed to make the short hop of just one hour and 15 minutes each way ( airasia.com).
