“Currently, we are making preparations and process in relation to ticket price adjustment,” Danang added. However, he elaborated that the tariff will not include baggage charges, passenger service charges, value added tax, and insurance fees. Also, the promotional tickets will only be valid 10 days before the scheduled departure.
