    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.

      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?)

        Elijah on 17/01/2012 - 14:36

        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…

    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

    •  
      jackofspade on 17/01/2012 - 14:06

      $199MYR which is about $66AUD depends on your bank's exchange rate.

      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 way

    •

          @ 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.

    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.
