Batik Air's own help centre puts it in one sentence: their Indonesia flights are not allowed to bring pets. No cabin, no hold, no fee structure to compare. I went looking for the asterisk that usually follows a line like that on a full-service-styled carrier, and there isn't one. Luna disapproves of taxiing; she'd have disapproved of this research trip too.
Batik Air does not carry dogs or cats — not in the cabin, and not in the hold. There are no weight limits, fees or crate specifications to compare, because there is no pet service to book. This page shows the airline's own wording below, so you can stop checking and start looking at carriers that do fly pets on the route.

Which makes this a two-column problem rather than a one-airline problem: list the carriers serving your route, strike the ones with no published pet policy, and compare what's left on cabin weight limit and hold availability in your travel month. That shortlist is usually three names long. Build the plan off it, and print the confirmation — I keep a copy in three places now.
