Sensational price! What a pity you have to add $200-$300 on the return leg, just to pay UK departure taxes. Wish I could team this one up with the Accor 50% off sale, but the dates don't match. Great post, thank you.
- eswee on 08/06/2010 - 16:04
  
  Doesnt it say * Flights and fares are subject to availability. Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights, or peak periods or days. Fares include airport taxes and charges.
- samehada on 08/06/2010 - 17:19
  
  UK airport tax is a rip-off, AA is considering open another route to Europe, Orly-Paris airport. Anyone know if Orly airport tax cheaper than London?
  The greedy UK government's gonna increase London airport departure tax in November to $85 GBP

  AA is also flying to Japan in Oct so stay tune for Japan sale :), they are also planning to fly to West & East Coast of USA, Incheon(Seoul), Honolulu (Hawaii) as well. Wow, I love AA waiting for their new routes !!!

  Cheers for that. Also, unless my maths deceives me, the title should read "Gold Coast to London return for $217"
  
  Gold Coast -> Kuala Lumpur ($56)
  Kuala Lumpur -> Stansted ($10)
  Stansted -> Kuala Lumpur ($130)
  Kuala Lumpur -> Gold Coast ($21)
  
  $56 + $10 + $130 + $21 = $217!!
adiosofenn on 08/06/2010 - 16:47

  Hey OzBargainators -
  
  I've primed and readied Adioso to index the fares smack bang on 2am, so it will let you know which days have all the cheap fares by about 2:20-2:30am tonight. As per usual, just do a broad-date search to find the super cheap ones, ie:
  - http://adioso.com/au/melbourne-to-kuala-lumpur.html
  - http://adioso.com/au/gold-coast-to-kuala-lumpur.html
  - http://adioso.com/au/perth-to-kuala-lumpur.html

  Happy Hunting!

      Hi Dragonrabit -
      
      The search works in all directions, just type in whatever you want in the search bar, ie: http://adioso.com/my/kul-to-ool.html

    I doubt that your search bot can access AA website to index fare.

    Good work. Much appreciated.
  - Castrom8 on 08/06/2010 - 23:43
    
    AWESOME! I just saw the bargain and said to a friend of mine what a pity that they're probably sold out before adioso even found them. I was wrong I guess! Thank you so much for adjusting. By the way, we really really love adioso! Aren't booking anything without it usually! One of our favourite websites ever! Million thanks!!! :)

    $269 is the cheapest… can't find any $73 :(
  - adiosofenn on 09/06/2010 - 09:32
    
    As you guys (along with everyone on facebook) have probably realised, this sale seemed to be a bit of a non-event. There seemed to be VERY few (if any) fares available at the advertised prices (at least for long haul) and if there were any, they must have gone in seconds.
    
    Who knows, perhaps AirAsia will release another batch, but for the moment, don't go to the AirAsia site (or Adioso) expecting to find the super cheap flights.
    
    See end of this thread for more comments/etc.

Great prices. Does anyone know what time exactly AEST this starts?
- adiosofenn on 08/06/2010 - 17:10
  
  The page says: "starting from 2am EST or 12.01am WST" - I'm assuming they mean Australian EST (http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/a…) it came from the Australian version of the email. So 2am Melbourne/Sydney as far as I can gather.
  - PcisT on 08/06/2010 - 18:28
    
    So just to confirm, that's tonight right? That is, the next time the clock hits 2am

Much love for AA.

From previous years, is anyone aware of whether or not AA puts up many sales for travel in December?
- Castrom8 on 08/06/2010 - 23:47
  
  usually not. I think that's mostly their so-called embargo period. You know, Xmas, New years, etc… usually no bargain prices. As far as I remeber they're back in February.

  surely, Syd-Melb or Syd-GC can't be that expensive with Jetstar or Virgin? You're still getting a great deal overall even with additional domestic fares
  - Castrom8 on 09/06/2010 - 01:24
    
    or find a cheap tiger fare and get jetstar to price beat their fare (given it's within 1hr of one of their flights. That's how I do it all the time: Tiger prices but jetstar's reliability)
King Tightarse on 08/06/2010 - 22:25

Had a quick go on the site..
The drop down menu showing destinations, once you put in Melbourne as the location shows only Kuala Lumpur as a choice.
I want to book to London, so will it offer that as a choice tonight, or do I book KL and then KL-London?
Unclear…
- dragonrabit on 08/06/2010 - 22:29

  you have to book separately, most people will stay overnight, in case their first flight delay. so they got enough time to catch the next flight.
- ccrap on 09/06/2010 - 01:11
  
  ^ is correct, KUL is Air Asia's home city, and so all flights originating from OOL or MEL need to first stop in KUL before onward travel. You will need to book separate legs. KUL is a nice city, i recommend staying over not just to avoid the potential risk of delay. If you dont want to see the city, you can stay on the cheap near the LCCT (budget) terminal at Tune Hotels (part of the Air Asia group).
King Tightarse on 08/06/2010 - 22:33

blasian on 08/06/2010 - 23:01

just wondering people like adiosofenn and on other sites it mentions flights from:
Fares from Kuala Lumpur:
- Melbourne from $27
- Gold Coast from $21
- Perth from $23
- London (Stansted) from $10
- Tianjin from $10
- Taipei from $10
- Chengdu from $10
- Mumbai from $10
- New Delhi from $10
- Hangzhou from $10

but when i went to the air asia website or the link provided it mentions flights from kl to london for $130.am i missing something or going to the wrong link?

- AdiosoTom on 08/06/2010 - 23:42
  
  Yep it's a little confusing - those extra-low return fares you mention are on a 3rd-party site, whereas on AirAsia's own site the return flights are the same as outgoing ($130 for Stansted-KL, etc). We'll only know for sure when the sale commences. Not long now!

quackster on 08/06/2010 - 23:50

I predict an epic meltdown.

Will book go for Gold Coast to Perth - return for $177.

Virgin Blue does the same (albeit via sydney/melbourne instead of KL) for $520 return.
- AdiosoTom on 08/06/2010 - 23:56
  
  We'll see. AirAsia is now hosted on a huge CDN (Akamai) so in theory they should be able to handle the traffic. We'll soon see how it holds up in practice.
  - zhenjie on 09/06/2010 - 00:02

BTW, I have to remind you guys, if you fly in November you will have to pay higher Airport Tax from London airport. Greedy UK goverment increase airport tax effective from November 2010.

The current airport tax is GBP 71, new one is GBP 101. 1 GBP ~1.77AUD
princess_nik_nak on 09/06/2010 - 01:45

Im holding out to book for a family friend who hasnt seen her parents in 10 yrs so its a little suprise for her :) i would love to go to KL for a holiday but hubby doesnt want to go :(
seamonkey on 09/06/2010 - 01:54

princess_nik_nak - not sure if hubby is familiar with KL, or for no particular reason just does not want to go. As a frequent visitor to KL, I think its an amazing place. I have friends there so its always nice to see it from the local perspective rather than that of a tourist, but a great city with much to be discovered. Hope all goes well for you.
princess_nik_nak on 09/06/2010 - 01:57

Server is going slow, but prices are loading up for me. I can't find any completely "free" flights for Melb to KL. I found one way "free" flights on every Fridays in Oct to Nov, but couldn't find a "free return" leg.

Too accustomed to getting all legs on sale. Previous sales have been much better and easier to get sale fares.

I think AA still make money from these kind of sale. Since the flight is booked separately by each leg, by the time you got one leg of flight, the other leg's sale fare is already sold out. So end up you got stuck and have no choice but buying a non-sale fare for return leg.
