I've been watching out for a $149 fare and despite the sale dates saying these fares have been on sale for three days, a whole bunch of seats appear to have been made available today - where there were no sale fares available earlier, this evening you can pick and choose your flights.
Booking Period : 10 March 2014 - 16 March 2014
Travel Period : 10 March 2014 - 31 May 2014
Travel Notes- Advanced booking required.
- Fares are not available during embargo period.
A couple of tips to secure your seat at the above price:
Save $15 on your return sector by booking each sector separately rather than a return flight. Air Asia appears to charge more in AUD for the return sector than if you were booking a one-way DPS-PER in IDR
- DPS-PER as a return sector AUD 79.00
- DPS-PER as a one-way sector IDR 664,000 = AUD 64.43 (if charged to 28 Degrees or equiv. no fee c/card)
Beware Air Asia's baggage charges when arranging the Price Beat Guarantee:
- Jetstar CSR tried to tell me Air Asia's baggage charges were taxes and charges. Stuck to my guns and finally got her to realise it was baggage that had inflated the fare, not taxes.
It's worth using the Price Beat Guarantee, not just for the 10% discount over the Air Asia fare, but also for the 10kg carry-on allowance out of Perth!
