Air Asia X is offering a £399 one way fare in its XL “business class” for flights from London Stansted to Kuala Lumpur. Whilst the seat does have a 60″ pitch we would class it as a good premium economy seat. There is no lounge access but you do get a meal provided which you would have to pay for in economy class.
Flights from Perth to KL are available from AUD 47 in economy and AUD 201 in XL. Melbourne to KL is priced at AUD137 (economy) and AUD 398 XL. Gold Coast to KL can be had for AUD 178 / AUD 398.
Flights can be booked up to 26th April 2009 for travel between 5th May and 31st July 2009. Don’t forget Air Asia X is a budget airline and you pay for any extras like checking luggage, meals, seat assignments.
And check out prices on the legacy carriers because there have been some great deals recently between UK and Australia.
