Hi Brandon ,
Once upon a time it was easier , Darwin - Kupang n then Kupang to Kalabahi but since the flight between Darwin n Kupang has been terminated , the easiest for you guys from Australia is to go to Bali first and then to Kupang .
I have never had any of my fishing buddies refusing to do stopover in Bali on they way and/or on the way out , the surest thing every of by buddies does is to have 2 hrs. massage after the trip .
Jon .
Gees, it's involved getting there. Easier to get to NC?!
