Air Asia – 1 million “free” flights offer

AirTravelGenius — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:20:31 +0000

Air Asia has just announced a special offer deal for flights departing next year between April 1st and July 31st 2009. The base fare will be “free” but you will (of course) have to pay additional taxes and charges. The offer covers all Air Asia routes including their medium haul Air Asia X routes to Australia.

So for example an Air Asia X flight from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur will set you back only AU$ 320 return all in which is decent value. (In flight meals are extra) Or you can fly on a premium economy XL Promo fare for AU$ 663.

The fares are available from August 26th to August 31st and heavy demand is expected…

AirTravelGenius — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:43:37 +0000

Viva Macau have a sale fare from Sydney to Macau advertised as “AU$99″ one way not including taxes and charges. The cheapest return fare is actually AU$498 all-in. This is bookable until the 20th August for travel between 1st September until the end of the year. The sale fare is limited so you will have to be flexible on your travel dates in order to find the lowest fare.

Air Asia X has a one-way sale fare from Gold Coast (OOL) to Kuala Lumpur LCC terminal for AU$199 all-in. From here you can connect onto Air Asia’s extensive budget network around South-East Asia. Again this fare is in limited supply…book by 24th August for travel between 1st September and 13th November. And remember that Air Asia X does charge for extras like checked luggage and meals…although it has denied that it will be weighing passengers after some exaggerated reports in the media.
