Hello
I would say you have to contact the airlines directly.
Just because the bike might fit in the plane doesn't mean they will do it.
Also if somewone did a transport a week ago it's not sure you get it as well.
I had offers for airfreight for $7000 due to dangerous goods,while some airlines charged the actuel size other charged the space above the bike as well. Some need a crate , some put the bike in a corner between the other luggage. Nothing is certain in airfreight.
I also wanted to go to Indonesia as well ( http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...rth-asia-65944),but decided not to risk the hassle with Indonesian bureaucracie.
I met some biker who did Darwin-Dilli and on the other side the Onion-Boat to Malaysia. These are the easiest ways to enter Indonesia.
There was a break in the service of the Onion-Boat but as of today it runs again (only the word on the road).
