    $4.00 flights are availble from Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2), Kuala Lumpur to the following destinations and 8 others :
    Kuala Terengganu
    Penang
    Johor Bahru
    Alor Setar
    Kota Bharu
    Langkawi

    and $3.00 from Kota Kinabalu International Airport (T2), Kota Kinabalu to: Tawau

      To anyone thinking of flying to, or via Kota Kinabalu, leave plenty of time to check in (it took my wife and I almost 2 hours for a domestic flight). The check in desks are woefully inadequate, and 90% of the people flying through there don't have any concept of lining up in an organised fashion. YMMV though.

        Seconding this.

        It's a mess of an airport. There are passport checks for all entering/exiting passengers, even if flying to KL (still part of Malaysia). Hardly any staff working, Although I did find that people were reasonable at queuing properly.

        But only for the LCC terminal, the regular terminal is actually very nice, Air Asia however goes through the LCC terminal

        • glitchypixel on 22/06/2015 - 11:01

          the lcc terminal has been replaced by the new klia2 since last year so it's much better now

      Only for flights to Bali.

      Jetstar will price beat if on the same day but they don't fly direct to KUL so you can't price beat on the route.

      • Mrlai2 on 22/06/2015 - 09:02

  • zappy32 on 22/06/2015 - 08:22
    +7

    Not particularly cheap from Melbourne.

    The deal PER-KUL is good at $99 - remember that most of this fare is Airport Tax meaning even if you cancel/don't catch the flight you can get a refund on this tax minus $6 meaning you would still get $73 back if you cancelled or missed the flight.

          You're welcome, I should also probably say that this is only on outbound flights. There isn't much Airport Tax on the return flight so if you cancel that you would only get a fraction back.

          Going to have to side with marky here. Few months ago air Asia gets airborne at Sydney and loses FMS. Had no GPS for navigation and asked for a rough heading to Kuala Lumpur. Diverted to melb after ATC refused such a dangerous idea. Took 3 attempts to land in clear weather. Air Asia are a major reason an ILS is at the gold coast for reasons you don't want to know.

      Malaysian: They lost a plane (not sure yet what's happened to it), which may have been their fault (or a numerous other causes) but we don't yet know. Then the Russians in Ukraine shot one down, definitely not Malaysian fault.

      Air Asia: Lost a plane that was flying unapproved routes, then into a storm. Lots of mistakes here.

        I am yet to see a shred of evidence that exists to support Russia being responsible for shooting MH17 down. If it exists, please share. You have to begin with asking yourself who would benefit from such a heinous act? How would the Russians or the separatists benefit? On the other hand,the fascist US backed regime in kiev as well as the americans had everything to gain from doing it in terms of putting the blowtorch on Russia and demonizing Putin… But yet again we swallow the propaganda fed to us time after time without thinking logically.

          Singapore airlines was flying the same route, as were plenty of other airlines. Yes, a few airliners had changed their routes based on either additional information or additional risk assessments.

          and who said those retards on the ground intended to shoot down a passenger plane?
          That's you projecting, comrade

          All the radio traffic intercepted from those morons had them claiming the successful shooting of a Ukrainian plane. Shortly followed by "oh shit"

The west on the other hand had the propaganda all ready to go fresh of the heels of the annexation of crimea.. Call it Russia today crap if you like but its the only logical explanation somebody that's thinking objectively can arrive at. But hey, I can always be swayed with evidence..

      Agreed. I will never drive a holden because I heard one was in a car crash. And I won't use GE trains because one once derailed.
      Oh, hang on. I disagree.
      I am prepared to accept that the maintenance and training for Jetstar/virgin/qantas flights is top notch. But I don't think that a crash in a storm makes it valid to conclude Airasia can't reliably operate an airline.
      Considering the hundreds of flights they operate every day, apparently more than 200 million passengers carried all up, I would suggest they have a very good safety record.
      The IOSA apparently agrees their systems are adequate:

          Fair enough, I was comparing a brand.
          I won't get in a Silver Taxi because one once crashed. Or a government bus. Might be better comparisons.
          Knowing AirAsia had a crash doesn't give enough information to judge whether they are safe or not. It must be viewed in terms of the number of flights that don't crash too.
          They have a worse record than Qantas, but a very good record none the less.
          And they have recently been audited and passed.
          The chances of there being a crash are vanishingly small. If you applied this level of risk avoidance in other areas of your life you would never get in a car, shake somebody's hand or climb a ladder.

        Systems are adequate, the question is cockpit authority gradient and losing face which has been an ongoing issue with Asian carriers.

        Its not a question of reliability, its a question of safety and situational awareness. In a holden you kill 5 people usually by driver error , in an aircraft if you get it wrong, i.e flying into a thunderstorm that is completely avoidable you can kill 180 plus in one foul swoop.

        Food for thought!!

        • mskeggs on 22/06/2015 - 14:15

          Not disagreeing, for example the Korean Air crash with this issue.
          But I guess I am saying the increased risk because AirAsia has this problem that, for example, Qantas doesn't have, is such a tiny, tiny additional risk considering the very good safety record that it is poor risk management to let it influence the decision.

          It is like a smoker who gives up aspartame because it might cause cancer. Sure, aspartame could possibly cause cancer in rare cases, but there is a much bigger risk to be concerned about elsewhere.

        Air Asia flies direct to Bali from Melbourne.

        • xsacha on 22/06/2015 - 10:57

          Ah I see.
          Darwin -> Bali seems like a good option too for people in northern states. They both fly direct to there. If traveling from Brisbane, you don't have to go to Gold Coast to pick up a deal here. So Brisbane to Darwin is $85 on tiger or $76.5 (pricebeat) on Jetstar. Then Darwin -> Bali is $99 on AirAsia or $89.10 (pricebeat) on Jetstar.

          That makes it $165.60 from Brisbane to Bali.

          Only issue is the next flight of the day is only 30 mins after the Jetstar flight arrives from Brisbane. Likely not enough time unless you can convince Jetstar to book it as one flight? I think they still need 40 minutes to do that.

    For the long weekend here in June (NSW) a few weeks ago - I found it was just as easier to book Air Asia on Expedia (combine flight and hotel) than with Air Asia itself

    4 nights in KL - 4.5* hotel in KLCC - plus flights and bags - $777 each (booked 3 days before
    departure.)

    It was the same price I paid last year (and strangely had the same seats flying over and the same hotel room - deja vu !!)

  • noskich on 22/06/2015 - 17:05

    Made two bookings, money taken for both, however for the first one it showed payment needed and afterwards the booking is gone. Spoke two times on the phone and made two online complaints - now have to wait one week for the answer.

    Before when I flew with them my wallet got stuck in the scanner and as I was in a hurry I didn`t notice. I took off without the wallet and they refused to despatch it to me and even did not let me know they are refusing it. No email, no nothing. I had to call Sydney airport to be told they are refusing it.
    Therefore, they are OK if it is working, if something is not working god help you.

        I didnt leave it, it was stuck in the scanner. And found straight away (after I reported it ten minutes later). I wasnt allowed to go back to pick it up and was told to get on the flight and Air Asia would give it to me later. The crew was promising all that telling me I would be contacted later on which never happened.

    What does a security screening operated by Sydney Airport have to do with Air Asia?

    • noskich on 23/06/2015 - 09:28

      Well, another airline would not leave their passenger stranded without funds in a foreign country. Or at least let them know they are leaving them to their own. The Sydney airport staff told me that other airlines were actually helping out in that kind of a situation. Things like that just happen from time to time.

        wallet lost in airport? making assumption that you lost(well..stuck unnoticed) a wallet and want them to bare the cost of arranging it to deliver to you at oversea?

        • noskich on 25/06/2015 - 09:20

          It is not the same when something is lost by neglect and lost by external circumstances.
          What kind of cost are you talking about, they have flights daily to my destination? The only thing they needed to do was take the wallet and bring it to the office in Bangkok at Don Muang airport for pick up.

          @noskich:

          Ok, so to report the final outcome regarding the problem with the booking. I booked a flight on the 22nd June, the money was taken and I got no booking. Called them and submitted an e-form as suggested. They were supposed to call me back within 5 business days and they didnt. I called them again and they said they would call me within 2 next business days. They didnt. I called them again and they finally sent me the new booking. Bottom line - very inefficient whenever any problem arises and I think the biggest problem is that they simply never follow up. Just leave you to chase them. Which can be stressful if you are overseas and on a budget as a few of their regular customers are.

      You're on the wrong website mate.

      • Donaldhump on 23/06/2015 - 14:45

        not sure what you mean, can you be specific.

  • AM1 on 23/06/2015 - 09:55

    Is it possible..and easy enough…to book two tickets Melb to Bali or Melb to Langkawi with one ticket with my name on it and then if no longer traveling with that friend/partner change the name for the second traveller?

    Also how difficult is it to get jetstar to price beat (or match - whatever they do)? You do that in a jetstar online chat rather than on the phone or something is that right?

      To the best of my knowledge you cannot name change on those trips regardless of travel fare & class. ( After your initial search click on the price and you will see a pop-up of what changes, if any, you can make)
