AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa that is really cheap. I was looking at flights from Sydney to Malaysia for Jan (yes I know that's peak season) and flights were around 1300 return >< Even in off peak, flights are about 800 return.
airasia made a smart manoeuvre. you just cannot bypass sydney and still wish for a good business in Australia.
it is more the MY govt (KUL airport owner) not allowing airasia to operate a service between SYD and KUL (malaysian airlines is also govt owned…. notice a pattern?)
yes exactly right !, I also heard MAL had priority to certain routes and to create balance AAX axed their London, Paris, Delhi & Mumbai services to make way for MAL's full service, something like that…
but tony fernandes already obtained some shares on the malaysian govt's airlines

But now they're suspending flights from KL to Europe/India - talk about poor timing for people from Sydney/NSW wanting to do the same thing as others from Melbourne/Perth have had! :(
everything is sold out or it is just me. even try july august april and all sold out
OP says on sale from 2pm.
I've been on since before sydney was added, and they were sold out immediately. I think they haven't added them yet? Three seconds after sydney appeared as an option, they were sold out.
also Scoot is opening midyear, which will be Singapore airlines budget airline
site is not working…..
awww hell yeah this is epic news!!!!!!!!!!!!
so what up with return flights?
predict a website crash again
OP where did you read about this?

Other news articles are now floating around as well.ah cool. cheers mate! great great post!!!

He means seat selection, you have to pays to get good seat in Airasia, else it will be first come first serve basis.
bought one. cheers
don't forget to book as two parts rather than a return flight
as the flight from KL to SYD is $66 rather than $99 when booked as one way$199MYR which is about $66AUD depends on your bank's exchange rate.
if you book single from KL to SYD .. the fare is NOT including tax.
The fare is $67MYR + airport tax $132MYR = $199MYR ($66AUD)
So you would have to pay in MYR? I had it set on USD & the fights are still $100AUD+ (after curr. exchange) for most days.
yes pay in MYR
sorry, i guess we're looking at different dates and yes on certain dates it is about $66:

where I go from KL (with cheap flights)? Wanted to go to Asia but not interested in KL itself…
Guests will also be able to book Fly-thru flights from Sydney to Bali from $159*, Bangkok from $149*, Phuket from $139*, Jakarta, and Surabaya from $149*, Medan from $139*, Singapore from $139*, and Ho Chi Minh from $149*. The Flu-thru service allows passengers to seamlessly purchase two flight sectors and connect via Kuala Lumpur.
I am going to Hong Kong! How about Japan?
I have my eyes on that too!
how did you book to HK? is Japan available?
thanks but how do you book the fly-thru? cant see it on air-asia?
Just buy another KL to Hong Kong return - which is less than $200 USD
go sydney to phuket/whatever, and it may do the "fly thru" for you.
if thats what u are talking about
For those not in Sydney, what are those awesome search engines that email you when a cheap flight appears?
adioso
ARRRGH IM PISSING MY PANTS OVER THIS SALE!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHHAHA SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIG THANKS to you OP!!!
I manage to get a cheap flight to KL on July! WAHAHAHAholy sweet baby Jesus, this is by far the greatest post on ozb for me!!!!!!
just booked.. not even sure if I would go but for 250 i cant say no to it..
best thing is there is no black out period even for uni breaks…
oh well, at worst I lose 250 if I dont go but what the hell
haha ozbargain at its best!
credit card fee is very steep.. $80!!! what the hell and the paypal seems to not working
you sure about 80 dollar fee, i paid with my AE card and fee was 10 bucks
yeah just realise, i am doing multi country travel and each leg is 10 bucks
It's $5 per flight
website not working??!!! it allow me to pick my dates and the $99 fare came up. but does not go through to finalise the booking/ payment etc.
my $99 idea jumped to $419. $840 for 2 people.
Price per head:
15.00 AUD Meal (return)
66.00 AUD Luggage (return)
198.00AUD Fare (return)
118.00AUD Seating (return)
22.00 AUD inflight entertainment (return)not sure what point you're trying to make….
u could consider:
no meal, bring your own food onboard (like a couple of wraps)
use your iphone, kindle, ipad etc for inflight entertainment
a normal seat request is $15 per person 1 waystill a catch. considering at normal price would cost you at least $800 per person.
argh!!
couldn't resist
was looking for somewhere to go around april (had leave booked) - so now its off to KL ;P
can someone tell me the best/cheapest way i could connect through to either Paris or London?… (in late May)
Any help greatly appreciated!.. and how quick is this likely to sell out??I think the reason we have syd-kl is becuase they are getting rid of the kl-london, kl-paris routes.. last flight is march 31
http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/airasia-suspends-fl…
Actually, travel period is only til 30 June, not Oct as reported by OP.
No its not..
i can agree with danj303.
im looking at july dates and they show the PROMO 99?? On their site ( http://www.airasia.com/au/en/promotion/rx1430406.page?mb for SYD-KUL AND http://www.airasia.com/my/en/promotion/rx1430406.page?mb for KUL-SYD) it says
Booking Period :
17 January 2012 - 22 January 2012
Travel Period : 1 April 2012 - 30 June 2012
Travel Notes
- Advanced booking required.
- Fares are not available during embargo period.So good luck if you can get outside those dates - seems it could be worth trying!
SYD to KUL: AU$99
KUL to HKG (return): AU$170
HKG to SYD: AU$61
HK government handing out money because they are too rich (a.k.a. shopping money): AU$747Now, if only I had the time… :-(
lol at HK government. It reminds me of HSBC trying to take a cut out of it to "help HK-aussies".
HSBC wants $200 to get those bank accounts established.
I suppose if you qualified as a Citigold ($100k sitting here doing nothing…lol) customer then you could get that done for free. I'm exploring this option at the moment.
Cost of flights + 'HK equiv. stimulus pkg' = An almost free holiday (factor in accom.) + extra cash in pocket for ozbargaining. :-P
please expand on this HK stimulus package so i can at least google it!!! :)
Thank you
@ drexxx… basically the HK govt has too much money in the bank… so they are giving all their citizens 6000HKD to help them out.
instead of spending money on healthcare or social welfare, they decide on giving it to the people …. im not sure if foreign workers get the money.
Im not complaining cause I was born there and spend a great deal of my childhood there but never paid a cent in tax towards the hong kong govt.
for more info
what you talking about handing out money?
Hong Kong Govco's version of Krudd handing out free dosh.
They are most likely doing this (following suit w/ Aus) with the purpose & hopes of boosting the economy by having ppl spend more, but IMHO still think some ppl will just put it away somewhere for backup/emergency money in these hard times…
Yes please expand on this shopping money business…
A few months ago, HK gov announced that they would hand out a sum of money (one off) to any current or previous resident/citizen of HK that holds an ID.
http://ax3battery.com/2011/03/01/hong-kong-government-is-giv…
"Hong Kong announced on Wednesday that they would be giving away $6000HKD (about $770 USD) to each adult -permanent resident- in Hong Kong."
Thanks both of you. =)
this is the best ozbargain post by a mile
Is it just me or did the price just jump to $319 for the peak periods?
It was all $99 flatrate before I booked, now it doesn't go through… sad
Promo seats may have ended. 6th of April is gone.
Its just the dates are filling up. Flights later in the period are still $99
Is it just me or getting to the payment page, submit payment then it says seats not reserve or some crap like that?
Note to Air Asia - if you want to recruit new customers then please at least ensure your booking system is up to scratch. Thought they would've learnt from Jetstar and their absolutely useless booking system. Probably Amadeus or something.
I think Jetstar using Navitaire. Amadeus only used by non budget airlines, as far as I know…
Got 2 tickets for the June long weekend - BOOM
Thank you for posting such GREAT deal…
I got tickets to Vietnam! :)
"[1018:ClassNotAvailable] Sorry, we are unable to reserve the selected flight(s) at this time. Please select another flight(s).
[1018:ClassNotAvailable] Sorry, we are unable to reserve the selected flight(s) at this time. Please select another flight(s)."
This is the second time!!! COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
they took my credit card and it says pending but i got a case number now with that message above….. wtf???
I found the problem! the return ticket from KL to SYD priced changed from 99 to 139! which is no problem! I redid the flight booking and got my tickets :D! hello KL! with the family!
According to this article another sale for $149 will start on the 19th. It's not clear though whether it will be a new batch of seats or just the leftover ones from today.

i booked my flights!! thanks for this post! in the end had additional fees on lugguage & "processeing fee" and seats; but can do without food or comfort kit or in flight entertainment!! paid $343 return SYD to KL, thats pretty good price.
is that for 1 person??? so expensive??? i have booked for 2 ppl return $396? (ie $99 oneway)
Jetstar found a way to get around their 10% price beat guarantee… by freezing when you try to check for the flight between Sydney and KL between April and October. Well done Jetstar!
Thanks. Forgot about Jetstar.
don't think you can use jetstar - as they do not have a matching Sydney - KUL route
You're right. No direct flights.
Book using two one way tickets, even with the extra 10 ringgit surcharge, the return leg comes to $75 AUD (with a i.e. $175 return flight to KUL)
anyone booked some cheap accommodation or able recommend accommodation to go with these cheap flights?
