        what did you get up to man?

          In KL? There's not much. Because dominant religion is Islam, there are very few bars. You can find booze, but have to look around. Any and all drugs are illegal and can carry the death penalty… so you're going to have some of the tamest hostel parties of your life.

        • mr_asstight on 28/03/2012 - 09:18

          So i guess the country is more for sight seeing :(

          Which part of malaysia? Basically its eat, eat, shopping, eat, fishing for me. Went to KL, Ipoh, Penang (stop by Sitiawan/Lumut) for the fishing trip.

          If you want more details, shoot me a note..

      • SuperJew on 30/03/2012 - 15:28

        I agree with Strand0410….I am not racist against mozlems but not much of a place for fun, why travel if you can drink, buy a ladyboy and get stoned off your rocker. Bali way better and you get klunj ripe at 16 years….all legal!

    So cheap, hopefully they will not close down after the sales.

    • skinny on 27/03/2012 - 20:07

      +1 good thinking! u never know, when you pay so much in advance!

      • MrMaxwell on 27/03/2012 - 20:19

        Just pay with credit card for some security, however I doubt you will have any issues (never could say the same about Strategic/Air Aust).

        The bigger problem is trying to get sale seats when the Air Asia site goes in to meltdown.

        • davidl222222 on 28/03/2012 - 00:02

          LOL @ you guys

          you know how much AirAsia is earning?
          at least they are not losing money like AirAust!!

        • ausooi on 28/03/2012 - 13:48

          Just read this on theage.com.au.. and thought a good tip with regarding @MrMaxwell's statement above.

          http://www.theage.com.au/travel/price-of-going-up-on-the-way…

          Extract..

          :
          If you're concerned about booking travel with a low-cost carrier — or any airline — the best protection is to pay with a credit card.

          You may have to pay a fee for doing so but in the case of an airline collapse you can apply for a reversal of the transaction.

          Australia also has a consumer protection scheme, the Travel Compensation Fund, but it is important to understand that you are only covered if you purchase your flights as part of a package, including other travel components, and only if you buy from a licensed travel agent.

    Would they have any June/July sales? :(

    • MrMaxwell on 27/03/2012 - 20:22

      They already did back in Feb. The LCC's are operating sales about 6 months out (with the exception of launch fares which have been about 3-5 months out)

  • hello007 on 27/03/2012 - 20:28

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong - but the fares above are taken from the AirAsia - Malaysian website — and are cheaper one way to Australia. - About $121 from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney

    See: http://www.airasia.com/my/en/promotion/rr0751001.page

    However - a look at the Big Sale fares on the Air Asia - Australia website (just click the drop down box on the top right of the website) … show fares for example from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur for $245

    See: http://www.airasia.com/au/en/promotion/rr0751001.page

    So all up its $366 return if you snare the cheapest return sale fare.

    • SirFlibbled on 27/03/2012 - 20:43

      It normally is cheaper to fly from KL to Au rather than the reverse. Last time I did it a year ago, the flight cost me $54 (no joke). Flying there cost me about $200.

      • superforever on 27/03/2012 - 20:52

        wow $54, cheaper than go to Brisbane.

      • Telios on 28/03/2012 - 19:48

        Omg that's ridiculous!
        I'm hoping the link flights from KL to japan aren't too expensive…could use a nice break!

    • Paul Atreides on 27/03/2012 - 21:30

      doesn't account for airport tax. i tried doing this a while back

      the list price was cheaper pretending to start in KL (ie. KL-SYD-KL-SYD, disregarding the first leg)

      but as I said, doesnt account for the airport tax

    • monarocv8 on 27/03/2012 - 22:47

      Typically flights in any currency but AU$ have tax, fees and surcharges added (the typical Asian plus plus effect). The ACCC demand that flights being sold in AUstralia in AU$ are fully inclusive.

  • superforever on 27/03/2012 - 20:35

    nevermind.

  • ozAzn on 27/03/2012 - 20:48

    wow sydney's premium seats are cheaper than perth/melbourne/goldcoast…

  • bohn on 27/03/2012 - 20:57

    Does anyone know if you need to book the legs separately to get the best deal.. ie, a one way from Melb-KL and then book the return trip as a one way?

    Or is it ok to just select Return trip.

    • battler on 27/03/2012 - 21:02

      usually 2x one way = 1 return on the discount airlines - you mix and match the legs to sum to the return value.
      (no better off booking a return)

    • emeraldone on 27/03/2012 - 21:59

      We booked in Feb. definitely got cheaper overall fare by booking 2 x one-way. Cost us $199 + $99 gold coast to KL and back. From memory we saved about $50 booking separately.

  • johndoe789 on 27/03/2012 - 21:09

    Perth-Bali return flights total: A$205, is that a good price or can it get any cheaper?

    • bohn on 27/03/2012 - 21:20

      $205?? I wouldn't settle for less than $50! ;)

    • SBOB on 27/03/2012 - 21:40

      you're wondering wether flying from perth to bali and back for the price of what, 3 tanks of fuel in your car is a good price?
      I think its a pretty impressive price, considering it costs me almost that to fly one way from Newcastle to Melbourne if I don't book the tickets early enough

      • johndoe789 on 27/03/2012 - 21:49

        I was just wondering if there's a better price happening before so I can make a valid comparison.

  • phantome on 27/03/2012 - 21:20

    im trying to book for december, but the price is $376 (one-way)
    is the sale its already started?

        choose a unisex name like Kim or Cameron or Charlie, then name your kid's middle name that and use it on the booking!
        Will be a great story growing up… why did you get that middle name…. well…..

      • Geewhizz on 28/03/2012 - 07:25

        Slight problem with a date of birth perhaps?

    • rmamila on 28/03/2012 - 09:57

      I too was in the same situation in late 2010. I just booked the tickets stating the name as "Baby SURNAME". Later once the baby was born and obtained a passport, I called Air Asia and changed the name and gave the passport details as well.

      That was so easy and the staff was very helpful.

  • supadupakoopa on 27/03/2012 - 21:42

    So is the price also the same for KL back to Australia? Can't find a mention of return fare to Australia as described in title

  • MrMaxwell on 28/03/2012 - 01:12

    For me… it's not a bargain! (still cheap though)

    $245 AUD MEL->KL (it's not that bargain as "promo" price for air asia)

    fyi… it's just $149 AUD MEL->KL one month ago ($100 bucks cheaper)
    http://www.airasia.com/au/en/promotion/rr0280901.page

    you can't compare the price between budget air and normal ones… I'll prefer the $399 AUD MEL->HK for Qantas promotion last week.

    (sorry if i said anything wrong, just my self opinion)

    I believe the deal title may have been misleading - it is RM 395 KL - Sydney. If you search for deals departing Australia, there is nothing like AUD 95 - it's at least AUD 195 to get from Australia to KL (from Perth).

    http://www.airasia.com/au/en/promotion/rr0751001.page

    It's not AirAsia's fault, I did not see anything in the email or ads about AUD 95, it's all (mostly) AUD 245 from Australia or AUD 195 from Perth.

    I'll fix up the description.

    • wisc on 28/03/2012 - 09:20

      thanks was about to neg the deal. though i still cant find any cheap flights return either

    • ausooi on 28/03/2012 - 09:36

      I have no problems with anyone amending my details, but I dont believe I posted anything misleading. AUD$95 is pretty much the same as RM$295.

      Original post is "from KL to Australia from (approx) AUD$95". I would have been happy to put it as "from KL to Australia from RM 295" . AUD99 x 3.2 (exchange rate) is RM$316. I even put in the exchange rate in the description.

      nevertheless, I'm not going to challenge any 'mod's :). Lessons learned: I guess next time I'll stick with the advertised currency.

      • ausooi on 28/03/2012 - 09:39

        @ausooi, didn't mean to offend, it's just that from the comments here, many thought that they would get AUD 95 fares and got disappointed when they saw that the cheapest from Sydney/Melb was actually AUD 245.

        Actually your original title was "from/to KL" not just "from KL", which I think what was confusing us. I just wanted to make things clearer by quoting fares/flight directions in AUD.

          Ahh.. point taken… Thanks for the clarification… :)

          It was just a bit hard for me to 'verify' these AirAsia sales (a day before the actual sales period), mainly just wanted to give a heads up to OZB'ers ..

          As I said, I have no problems with any correction. As long as this post helps others to actually get some sort of good deal, its my aim.

          And of course, apologies to whoever that may be confused by the original title/description.

    i dont see why people complain so much…flying with basically any other airline u will be paying $700 minimum for a return flight to KL for example, where as u can do it for under $500 with AAX? $200 is easily worth it!

    • Fishy on 28/03/2012 - 14:43

      Sorry I accidentally clicked + lol I thought it was a reply button.

      $200 isn't worth it imo. You dont get points & food..and have you seen the check in line at the airport?

      Last time I flew THAI in Melbourne and the checkin counter was close to Air Asia. I was shocked for a few seconds thinking that was THAI's line.

      $300 from last time is a different story.

      • bohn on 28/03/2012 - 17:01

        I got some tickets to Phuket - (we were already planning on flying, so we did NEED tickets).

        Saved $300 per person compared with Thai (including paying for food/comfort pack/entertainment on Air Asia)

        So all up saved $600 for the both of us…

        Not to be sneezed at?

  • mr_asstight on 28/03/2012 - 13:49
