      but long-haul flights (eg. Melbourne to KL) are tough!!

      If I fly LCC for long-haul then I upgrade to a better seat. Last time was Scoot to Singapore which cost an extra $25 for effectively a premium economy seat. That was a better flight than any full service economy seat I've ever had.

      If you don't support budget airlines, then there is less competition,

    I think this was a mistake for you.
    Popular long distance routes would not have that many seats available or any available!
    This only make sense for the short ASEAN country hops.

    AirAsia is infamous for cancelling trips. Seems they open a lot of routes, then if less people interested, they just cancel it.
    All my trips were at least cancelled once, though I got options to reschedule/refund, but it was adding unnecessary trouble, especially if you have connecting flight.

      100% agree from Feb 22-July 22 had 10 flights cancelled / minor rescheduled / major reschedule ( flight 5 days later with 11 hour layover haha).. I got to use my credit up last month using AA short haul in Asia. Never use again

  • radicalvin on 05/12/2022 - 16:42
    +4

    Have been in the past an AA endorser, but never again. They changed their cancelled flight credits to e-vouchers with T&C. The worst of them are
    1. They are only for AAX flights
    2. They only cover flight costs, and
    3. There are limited seats for flights. This is the worst because as mentioned above, they won't say how many allocated seats are left until you get to the payment stage.

    Still trying to used up my e-vouchers, after that, never flying with them anymore

    • naruto128 on 05/12/2022 - 16:50

      Same here, can nevr use the AA credit vouchers. Surprised ACCC not taking any action. Better off flying MAS since I noticed they are now not that much more expensive than AA

      • netjock on 05/12/2022 - 17:08

        I had them cancel a flight and push me forward on the calendar (not later).

        Flew their A330-200 from KL to Asia destination and it was in better condition than the A330-300 they got flying between Australia and KL. MAS on tough times too.

      • zzap on 06/12/2022 - 10:08

        MAS are no better. I had flights cancelled during covid. Malaysia opened in April 2022 and MAS only gave me till the end of 2022 to use the flight credits. With limited routes and insanely high prices while the country was still opening up, it was near impossible to use.

    • 900913 on 05/12/2022 - 17:36

      Yeah that's crap. I managed to book some flights earlier this year before they converted the credits to a voucher. And then I've booked flights for next year which used up the rest of the voucher (paid for around half the cost). So yeah I've been lucky it's worked out for me, but sucks for others.

  • ben5000 on 05/12/2022 - 17:18

    even with all the downfalls, with the current airline ticket prices now sitting at tripple pre covid levels to south east asia, this would quickly pay for itself.

      TIL that in 1987 Steve Rothstein took advantage of the AAirpass (a promotion by American Airlines that let people pay a one time $250,000 and have a lifetime of unlimited flights) and quit his job so he could fly continuously. This ended up costing the airline more than 21 million.

    Essentially this is an attempt to get an interest free loan from customers instead of borrowing from the bank while they are facing financial issues. Similar to a buffet, some will eat their worth, some less and some more. They have already done their maths on this before they made this offer, whether this pays off only time will tell. As other are saying this is a short term strategy, running this long term may cause further financial issues. Just my take on this.

    • star-ggg on 06/12/2022 - 09:09

      Whatever financial model they used would have been wrong. There is no precedent to model on. Even if other airlines offered something similar in the past, different routes,b different cliente

  • Doyen on 05/12/2022 - 18:04

    A Few Weeks Later …….

    We have today made the sad announcement that we are leaving Australia. This has been a difficult decision to make. We have enjoyed flying you to amazing destinations that Australia is known for, working with thousands of brilliant travel agents, flight attendents, pilots, co-pilots and airport staff.

    AirAsia, like all other companies, is now doing business in challenging economic conditions, which requires us to take difficult decisions. We always aim to deliver the best possible service for our consumers wherever we operate, and if we cannot do that we will be prepared to review our position.

    In Australia, we have concluded that achieving a sustainable position of leadership in the market is not possible without a disproportionate level of investment which would have highly uncertain returns.

    On the basis of this decision, AirAsia has been placed into administration. The director of AirAsia has appointed jv as voluntary administrator. To find out more, including information for creditors, please visit click here. You will receive further communications from the Administrators shortly.

    What this means for you

    AirAsia has ceased operations, meaning you can no longer book flights on AirAsia in Australia.

    You will still be able to access your customer account for up to 6 months from this date onwards. After this period your customer account will be closed. Within this period while your account is open, you can download your customer information.

    Thank you for flying with AirAsia.

  • wetsandwich on 06/12/2022 - 11:54

    "The regular price is around 1300aud, so one round trip is worth the pass."

    Weeeell, nobody would ever pay full price though. That's the same price as Thai Airways which is a real airline. AA would normally be half that on one of their regular sales. So you're basically paying $800 to have access to a sale instead of waiting 2-3 weeks for the next one.

    Yeah, this piqued my interest at first too, but as there are no refunds and no way to find any clues about the real availability of the 'free' flights without paying first, it's a no go for me.

    Also doesn't seem that cheap - it sounds like really about 50% off flights after taking out the fuel and taxes, which is then the same as a regular sale fare?

    Assume I'd otherwise take a $400-500 return trip to Thailand on a Jetstar sale (sometimes they're even less like $350), where is any value here?

    It might start to pay for itself if you were doing 3+ return trips to Asia per year and adding on a heap of domestic flights and never paying for baggage, but even then it's dubious.

    Does just seem like a cash grab though, seeing as they already went bankrupt once and have pretty much never been sustainable or profitable, unfortunately. They have tried valiantly but really do feel like a bit of a ponzi scheme.

    I remember the seat upgrade options years back. I got a flat bed upgrade for like $100 which must have meant nobody was paying for those seats at the regular price.. was a nice sleep on the way to Thailand but even then they didn't feel sustainable.

    But if this is true it would be a good deal for me. The escape clause looks like the "100% Free" flights… which they could switch on only when it's super clear there will be empty seats. Has anyone seen such a flight? Where would I look?

      decided to be a guinea pig and purchased the $799 Super+ Premium package. Having fumbled around the site for a week, I wouldn't say it's worth it if you live outside of Malaysia for a couple reasons:
      1) "free" flights from KL to Sydney (where i'm based) are very infrequent. Couldn't find a single one for the first half of Jan 23.
      2) the site is absolute shit for subscribers, it isn't at all obvious which days the "free" flights are available, so you end up having to check each date, individually, ONE BY ONE, to find one (denoted by a little "100% off" tag)
      3) "free" flights to popular areas (KL to Tokyo(Haneda)) seem to be VERY limited, i've scoured most of March and Apr 2023, only able to find 1 so far. And yes, I selected dates not under the embargo dates on the T&Cs, of which there are a fair few chunks of the year blocked out.

      Would be of good value if you were a retiree in KL, but for most of us here in oz, I'd say avoid.
