  "Professionals" will buy the flight to SGN and exit at Kuala Lumpur ;)

    Yep and I would call this more standard AirAsia price than a real special.

      Just wondering if I was to change my mind on going to SGN before July could I just fly to KL instead without affecting the other legs and purchasing a different fly onto Cebu.

      • 

        zappy32 on 20/02/2017 - 21:41

        Are there other legs on AirAsia? Eg. a return ticket?

        If so you can't miss any leg or the rest of your flights will be cancelled.

        aussie28 on 20/02/2017 - 21:46

        @zappy32: Yes the other deal was return to Ho Chi Minh City so I guess if I changed my mind and went to Cebu instead I will also need to purchase another flight back to GC.

        All I can tell you is yes I have done this for my friend, he skipped 1 leg of the whole 4 legs itinerary and there is no problem.

        My friend bought MEL-Phuket return via KL. He skipped the leg Phuket-KL and boarded plan from KL back to Melbourne.

        Airasia is budget airline model and it is stop by stop so your remaining itinerary if you skipped a leg should still be usable.

        Either way you can't get boarding pass to VN from Melbourne. You only check in to KL at Melbourne airport and get the next boarding pass at transit desk. If you don't want to check through your luggage just request to check baggage to KL only. You can just tell them you need to give something for your friend in KL.

        @samehada: Thanks for the info, Will need to discuss with GF in Cebu if she can get time off work and hopefully I can get a promo for her if not hopefully I can just use it for return to KL only. It's a great deal anyway so not a big loss even if flying just to KL.

        @aussie28:

        Actually samehada seems to be correct. Nearly every other airline would cancel the flight but I can't find that in AirAsia's terms and this leads me to believe you can skip legs. Good to know!!

        EDIT: I only did a rough check of their T&Cs so read through if you plan on doing this!

      aussie28 on 20/02/2017 - 22:07

      It's a serious question mate, impulse bought the great deal this morning but gf in Cebu may not be happy about it so my options are to get her a flight and meet up in KL and fly onto SGN and back to Cebu for her but it appears to be more expensive then the flight from GC or just fly to Cebu.

      • 

        justcallmeboss on 21/02/2017 - 01:24

        Yooo aussie28 I was reply to samehada!

        What I meant was, it's not a good idea to buy a flight to some place and get off at the stopover country and forfeit the rest of the journey. The reason is because the airline may consider you a "no show" and cancel the rest of your sectors i.e. Return flight too.

• 

  futaris on 20/02/2017 - 20:01

  You'll still need an eVisa for SGN. And only useful if you travel hand luggage only.

  And they might ask to see a return ticket or ticket out of SGN

    You can request to just checkin for your first flight to KL at Australia airport.

  I will never fly Air Asia again, they cancel their flights most of the time and take ages to refund the money, that's after too many follow ups, their representatives hangs up the phone, no manners at all..

  • 

    PVA on 20/02/2017 - 21:09

    Most of their flights are cancelled, are you sure?

    • 

      zappy32 on 20/02/2017 - 21:31

      Just to add to that, unlike Australia or Singapore, Malaysia has an aviation consumer protection and compensation law that defines in what circumstances airlines must give you food/hotel/refund etc.

  Just got back from an air asia trip from Malaysia and all I can say their good for budget savvy like me. They are not too strict with caryy on baggage. As for refund in case of cancellation of flight they are pretty good as I got back the money within a week without following it up.

    Have you had to rebook with someone else after cancellation, was it much extra?

      I haven't experienced that but they did changed my flight to a different day but I was still in Australia that time so I just cancelled the whole trip. That's the time they refunded the whole money within a week.

    pupdog on 23/02/2017 - 06:44

    When you say they're not strict with carry on luggage, were you a little or a lot over?

  Just got back from malaysia last week, Kl is nice but its a city, I recommend langkawi island top left corner of Malaysia near thai border on top of penang, 32c and sunny every day and some amazing beaches and the island is duty free including alcohol, atm you can fly for around 350 return to Malaysia and thinking of going again just because going around is so cheap and work is quiet, btw the Australian dollar is almost the best its ever been against the Malaysian dollar, got an uber for hour and 15 mins for around 15 Australian dollars, for dinner i would get two dishes and a long neck beer for around 15 dollars, massages are around 10 dollars, hotels for a 3 star including nice size room are around $25 a night

        Pangkor and Langkawi is alright. You'll find the islands on the east coast (redang, tioman) to have nicer beaches :)

        Oh and tioman is duty free if I recall

        Belv on 22/02/2017 - 00:57

        yes but atm redang is in rain season and most hotels are closed, east cost raining, west cost sunny

      Langkawis beaches are very clean and ten times better than most of aus beaches, you can find a beach north of island with like 10 people on it and look out and see islands and swim in amazing warm water, one island i went to see monkeys the beaches where great but there was rubbish due to people feeding monkeys

    mate its awesome, i even ate at some questionable restaurants and the meals were full of flavor and spice, got back to melb and tried some "good malay restaurant and it was rubbish compared to a $5 meal over there"

    • 

      pupdog on 23/02/2017 - 06:47

      Yeah, there's hardly any decent Malaysian restaurants in Sydney either. You can't capture the raw taste of street food in a restaurant kitchen

      • 

        illumination on 23/02/2017 - 11:51

        I can't find many with "authentic" tasting Malaysian food so to speak, but Albee's Kitchen in Campsie is pretty good, and I find Petaling Street Haymarket pretty good too. As I said, not "authentic" but still tasty! Papparich is ok (for certain things) but a little bit more pricey due to smaller portion sizes.
