    Love these deals…got return ticket to london $700 last time! and coulda got cheaper.

  • ztune on 15/05/2010 - 20:31

    Damn they dont fly from sydney?

    • bigheadache on 15/05/2010 - 21:06

      The Malaysian govt has blocked Air Asia X from the KL to Sydney leg to protect Malaysian Airlines. It was in the business press earlier in the year

  • ztune on 15/05/2010 - 20:35

    im guessing from syd i need to go gold cost then kuala lumpar then uk for example?

    • muzzamo on 15/05/2010 - 21:14

      Or get your own full priced fair to KL then airasia to UK…

    • ccrap on 17/05/2010 - 01:20

      yeah gold coast or melbourne (i usually find mel flights are cheaper from syd than gc).

      or like muzzamo said, i have booked return to kl via malaysian airlines before and then used air asia to zip all over south east asia for peanuts :)

  • sparkles on 15/05/2010 - 21:45

    The travel time is sooooo far away, like an eternity.

  • whatovit on 15/05/2010 - 22:06

    Does anyone know if there would be any sales for travel during December, from Melbourne to London maybe later this year.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2010 - 10:18

      Usually AirAsia have their sales every six months for departures 12 months ahead so I would say that the cheapest seats for December have already passed.

  • troyww on 15/05/2010 - 22:43

    I booked 3 of us KL to London for $2300 return for August this year , During last years sale
    . That was peanuts , extra luggage and picking our own seats . I'll be booking next years flight as well if the prices are as low . Wouldn't mind checking out Hong Kong - China next year . Hell I might even spring for the XL seats and fly in reclined comfort like a king at those prices .

  • Cluster on 15/05/2010 - 23:36

    The sale starts on Tuesday. Does anyone know what time? Will it be 12:01am, or 9am, etc Kuala Lumpur time?

    • kodoq on 16/05/2010 - 00:55

      it will be Tue 02:01am Melb time……and the bad news is….it wont be zero fare but around $150AUD one way ticket…still cheap though compare to other airlines

      • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2010 - 10:10

        Last time they had a sale I got Melb - KL return for $230 and that was with extra luggage.

      • PcisT on 16/05/2010 - 16:04

        What makes you say $150?

        • munya on 16/05/2010 - 22:44

          That's what AirAsia has been saying on their Facebook page. They say Melb/GC to KL will be 'under $150' one way (not including tax/extras). So I'd be expecting $149

  • Luminary on 16/05/2010 - 03:51

    Nice. Been trying to find tickets to China for less than $1.1k and seems like I can already do that without the sale on this site. Looking forward to the sale. :D

    • ccrap on 17/05/2010 - 01:00

      what are you travel dates?

  • hazwing on 16/05/2010 - 10:01

    Any idea what the flight periods are and what routes they fly?

  • linxinkai on 16/05/2010 - 10:17

    no offence, just a not-so-good news bout airasia
    Air Asia flights investigated by The Australian Transport Safety Bureau

    • aVex on 16/05/2010 - 11:58

      That no-so-good news pales with the problems Qantas has had in the last few years. In fact, most airlines have hiccups here and there, so this really isn't anything special.

      • robxxx on 16/05/2010 - 12:34

        Agreed.

    • orbital on 16/05/2010 - 13:40

      and if you do further research, you'll find it's the type of aircraft that's the issue… the Airbus A330's are known to have dodgy electronics and misinterpreting flight data

  • ryanly on 16/05/2010 - 13:23

    Just wondering if we need to have our passport when we're booking?

    • zack2020 on 16/05/2010 - 14:52

      No but you have to put a passport detail via Manage your booking anytime after you have completed your booking and before you fly. :D

    • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2010 - 14:54

      I know when you book it does ask you for your passport number but I'm unable to say what will happen if you leave this section blank.

      • zack2020 on 16/05/2010 - 15:14

        I dont remember you can leave it blank or not… normally I put some numbers there…bearing in mind that I will change it later. LOL

    • kodoq on 16/05/2010 - 18:06

      no, u dont have to put passport # when u book and when u r going to check in. i flew with then to kul, bkk, cgk, kul and back to mel again without any passport information.

  • PcisT on 16/05/2010 - 13:50

    Has anyone worked out their hint as to what the specials are?

    • zack2020 on 16/05/2010 - 14:51

      The hint is a mathematical equation…. work it out if you want :)

      • PcisT on 16/05/2010 - 15:25

        Zero. Sounds good to me.

        • zack2020 on 16/05/2010 - 17:30

          Zero plus taxes, luggages, food, comfort kits, transit bus (if going to KL city centre), lol…..

        • kodoq on 16/05/2010 - 21:45

          not zero according to facebook reply to me…they say it will be ~150AUD one way………

  • Kantankerous on 16/05/2010 - 17:47

    Anyone know what the best way to go to China from Sydney is? Preferably Shanghai or Beijing but looks like they only stop at Hangzhou and Tianjin as the nearest cities. =(

    • ccrap on 17/05/2010 - 01:17
      +2

      by plane of course, boats take too long :P

      my personal fav is cathay pacific. I used them last year open jaw for syd > hk > beijing and then return shanghai > hk > syd, but that was a ridiculously good deal else I would have taken air asia.

      AA goes to the 2 nearby cities you mentioned, but both link up to shanghai/beijing via high speed rail, so it really is worth using AA.

      If you have time, I seriously suggest you do this: aus > kl > tianjin by flight, sightsee in beijing, great wall etc (3 nts) then take the overnighter train to xian, check out the terracotta warriors, then take the overnighter train to shanghai and spend a few nights there before flying back to kl from hangzhou and then of course back to aus. The trains in china are fantastic, check out seat61.com for photos. Also whilst in shanghai and beijing there are heaps of things to do within a couple of hours of each city and its nice to head out of town and see the beautiful scenery and mountains.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2010 - 16:59

        I plan to travel to China next year and I think I'll take trains as per your suggestion. It sounds like fun!

        • ccrap on 18/05/2010 - 00:13

          the trains are reaaaally good and super cheap too. if you can, pick up a copy of lonely planet china, it has each of the states set out as different chapters which makes picking and choosing quite easy.

          seat61 lists a number of agencies where you can book tix online, but we just did it there over the counter, about 3-4 days before departure without any problems. basically we would get into a city and book the tix straight away before starting our 3-4 days of sightseeing.

          do the trains, you wont regret :)

          • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2010 - 07:42

            @ccrap: A small point but AA usually means American Airlines, AK is Air Asia's code (the K reflects its KL base)

      • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2010 - 01:46

        There are so many options in China.

        Personally, I wouldn't treck halfway across China by train just to terracotta warriors. If you did there are loads of places to visit on the way.

        I'm a foodie and recommend the dumplings (jiazi) in Beijing and the pan fried pork buns (Sheng Jian Bau.) Dirt cheap and delicious. They never taste as good outside their home towns.

  • zack2020 on 16/05/2010 - 18:09

    Here is the latest newsletter on the current sale: http://www.airasia.com/nl/nl10051464ox_au.htm

  • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2010 - 20:19

    just seen a press release. Fares to Australia start at $149. Google 'kangaroo route airasia' for more info.

    • zack2020 on 17/05/2010 - 20:22

      http://news.brunei.fm/2010/05/17/airasia-offers-1-million-free-seats-…-explore-boundless-connectivity-across-asia-and-beyond/

      'In addition to Free Seats on these selected routes, AirAsia is also offering super low all-in fare from RM49* to destinations such as Bali, Hanoi, Haikou, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and many more. Highly in demand “Kangaroo Routes” in Australia such as Gold Coast and Perth are available from RM149*, Melbourne from RM199* while those planning for a European getaway can opt to fly to London from as low as RM699*. Those who are into exotic attractions can opt to go to New Delhi or Mumbai, India from as low as RM199*.'

      So MEL-KL we can expect about AU$129, while PER-KL AU$99,

      Also http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/mp/7245126/airline-in-9…
      —>PER-Bali $99

  • yongpc on 17/05/2010 - 20:51

    hey guys. apparently i missed the deals to go to malaysia on dec. so any suggestions for me to still fly cheap there. thanks in advance. my timetable can be flexible between 1 dec to 7 dec. and i can change flight. as long as it's cheap. god i'm so regret right now. any advice would be nice..thankss…

    • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2010 - 22:31

      airasia are the cheapest. You won't find cheaper. Before airasia flew here even the fare you can get now for the dates you want are lower than was ever possible before. It's still reasonable.

      Remember to book early next time ;)

      • yongpc on 17/05/2010 - 22:48

        really? i was just thinking maybe flying to singapore then change bus those sorts of thing. but i dun know whether it will be cheaper. it's just kinda sucks when my friends bought early and got the cheaper price. thanks anyway.

  • jack_jackson on 18/05/2010 - 00:52

    sites already gone to shit

  • jack_jackson on 18/05/2010 - 00:57

    i think im gonna experiment with a new tactic

    find the dates on adioso, click book now which will take me to the airasia website with the dates and credentials put in, then change fares

    will that work?

    • zack2020 on 18/05/2010 - 00:59

      Adioso doesnt get updated frequently, not immediately sometimes… so best bet is go to http://www.airasiaplus.com… Look for the cheap flights that will be listed for the next 15 days, and go back to AirAsia website to book it..

      Use mobile.airasia.com if the main airasia website does not load up.

  • jack_jackson on 18/05/2010 - 01:04

    yeah but if you click book now it takes you to the airasia page with the exact dates

    if i look it up the prices on airasia plus, then click book on these dates adioso ignoring the price it says, it will take me direct to the day i want to fly, and i can select my booking from there

    • zack2020 on 18/05/2010 - 01:07

      Yes, but Adioso needs to update the sale manually, so it may take a bit of time for Adioso to manually update the search engine… and these sales come and go very quickly…..

      • jack_jackson on 18/05/2010 - 01:11

        im not sure you understand what i mean

        if i go to airasiaplus, and the cheapest date is the 8th of january

        then i go onto adioso, type in 8th of january and say the fare is $300 on there

        if i click now it will take me to the 8th of jacnuary on the AIRASIA website, where i will be able to view and change to the cheapest flight that day, therefore skipping the first couple of pages of the airasia website and reducing hte chances it will freeze on me

      • munya on 18/05/2010 - 01:12

        Good idea Jack but Adioso hasn't loaded any Air Asia flights after Feb 2011 and they won't be loaded straight away, they only seem to update once a day at the most

        • munya on 18/05/2010 - 01:14

          would only work if you're flying before feb (sale goes to may)

  • ricky d on 18/05/2010 - 01:15

    Has the sale started or still 40 minute wait? Some flights for next year from Mel-kl are 146 aud economy promo, is this the big sale?

    • munya on 18/05/2010 - 01:20

      the sale prices aren't up yet

      • ricky d on 18/05/2010 - 01:21

  • yongpc on 18/05/2010 - 01:17
  • jack_jackson on 18/05/2010 - 01:27

    yeah im flying then so fingers crossed it works!

    • yongpc on 18/05/2010 - 01:29

      are the new prices up yet? it says the fare from kuala lumpur to gold coast is 129 dollars but when i click in it becomes not available at this date. what does it mean? what should i do now?just wait?
