SirFlibbled on 16/08/2011 - 09:14 ¶I've done it twice now. The good thing about planning in advance is you can stalk deals and get an awesome holiday on the cheap. Pay everything off way before you go. I'm heading to Bali in Jan and everything is paid off and now saving spending money so by the time I go I'll have about $4K which will having a LOT of fun for that value in Bali.
+1 voteGreat prices!! I am going to Phuket in April but that is not on the list :(. I found another sale on AirAsia website, it's similar but travel periods in Jan/Feb and only from Darwin and Perth - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/50928
+1 votecanleyheights on 15/08/2011 - 15:57 ¶sydney - goldcoast $150 + goldcoast - KL $360. total $510. during school holidays. WIN.
+1 voteHrmmm.. if I do a return search 2nd May - 13th May:
Perth > KL $179AUD ( 70 fare + 74 tax + 35 fuel )
KL > Perth $128AUD ( 70 fare + 23 tax + 35 fuel )
= $307 not inc baggageNothing on the return is close to $85AUD as advertised after searching…
Unless I book from KL to Perth 1-way in MYR it'll show fares for 110RM, add taxes + fuel it's 249RM / 3.1 exchange is ~$80AUD.
If I do a return KL > Perth:
KL > Perth = 249RM
Perth > KL = 405RM
= 654RM / 3.1 exchange is ~$211AUD not inc baggageThat's almost 100AUD diff for the same flight path just originating in opposite direction?!

nunya business on 15/08/2011 - 21:21 ¶Great prices 299 to mumbai love it, but i wish it was just in november would be amazing!

I found Gold Coast - London return for $995 return for the dates we're hoping to go next year. But then have to add cost and inconveniece of flights from Canberra - Gold Coast.. then Rome back to London (was originally planning on booking open jaw flight)… And the fact we're not 100% sure if the dates will work…. Wonder if its worth the hassle and very slight risk the dates won't work to save $1000ish…
SirFlibbled on 16/08/2011 - 09:11 ¶Sadly living in Canberra you need to fly somewhere to go international. Not much more flying to Goldie as it is Melbourne and at least Gold Coast is 2 hours shorter flight than Melbourne is :)

True, last time we flew overseas we found it easiest to get a bus straight to sydney airport, rather than another flight from Canberra, by the time you check in and find your luggage etc, it doesnt take much longer and is less hassle. But you're right, it would have had to be done anyway.
+2 votesSirFlibbled on 16/08/2011 - 09:10 ¶A little tip, use http://www.airasiaplus.com so you can search out the best deals. I know that there's a heap of flights from KL to GC for $61 but you need to search as a one way flight to get them. All up to KL it's $262 from GC return which is a bargain. Then from KL to where ever in Asia you want really.
Lakandasht on 16/08/2011 - 10:23 ¶Just a heads up that the advertised prices generally don't include taxes, airport charge, fuel surcharge, baggage, meals, entertainment and more. Just go through the booking process to get the extra costs.
I'm about to get the Perth-London return. After you include all the trimmings it's about $700 each way. Still better than anything else on offer.

yeah i've seen some decent london return deals for about 700 bux from air asia!
for these prices its pretty much cheaper to fly to Perth via KL from melbourne rather than melb to Perth Direct! LOL!
