I am well used to travel from KL to Batam: Aeroline KL to Singapore HF, Prima Ferries to HB, et voila I am in Nagoya.

For the first time, I will travel in the opposite direction from Nagoya to KL.
I think the best (cost and comfort) will be still to choose Prima Ferries to Singapore HF then Aeroline to Corus Hotel in KL. Or maybe someone would suggest something different?

I checked flights, but one-way ticket with Malindo from Batam BTH to Subang SZB (not KLIA!) would cost nearly 140 SGD (with 25kg luggage). I prefer the bus.
Any other airline?
U can try Firefly... I flew once from KL to Batam almost 2 years ago; can't remember how much it cost me though...

Update: Sorry, I stand corrected... Seems like Firefly don't fly to Batam anymore.

Actually, I think paying $140 is a fair trade-off given that u'll reach KL in 1 hour versus 5-6 hours or even longer with the ferry + train/bus route... Like u said, the time can be better spent enjoying rather than being stuck in a transportation medium....
