Just browsing the AirAsia.com.au website and noticed they have partnered up with optiontown.com, basically you can pay a samll disocunted fee using optiontown and opt for premium/business or first class seat at a great discounted rate….and if on the day there happens to be empty seats in that class then you will get it or else they will refund your $$$ back after 5 days. I just upgraded my seats from Gold Coast to Malaysia for around $100 Aussie dollars. Lets hope i get them!!!
Some info of the airasia website…..
"It’s now more affordable to upgrade your Economy seats to Premium, courtesy of our new partnership with Optiontown! You’ll save up to 75% as compared to the regular AirAsia Premium fare!
When you upgrade to Premium, you’ll enjoy the comfort of a Flat Bed, the exclusivity of Priority Check-In and Priority Boarding, plus a Combo Meal and Baggage Allowance*.
Just follow these simple Upgrade Travel Option (UTO) steps to experience the best perks of Premium class"
Interesting, has anyone used this before? I have been given a price of $56AUD on a PER-KLL flight.
