      I agree. It’s risky. It looks like air Asia is trying to raise revenue to try to gain the shortfall in the hope of making it. However the system is heavily skewed and a pyramid scheme. I’d say use it if you’re travelling immediately so you at least get your moneys worth. Also look up this and other similar stories about airlines selling seats:

      I see flight availability as being a huge problem, after lots of peeps jump on this. To counter that, AirAsia probably has some fine print somewhere in the contract stating that the 'deal/pass' is not applicable/usable on all flights. My prediction is that if the whole company doesn't fold before this can be utilised for much of a benefit, the opportunities to actually use the pass will be restricted to only a few seats on certain flights, or only a specific few flights, or something along those lines. A bit like 'frequent flyer' points. If they have lots of customers lining up to buy full-fare seats, there is no way they are going to forgo all that potential profit, and 'give the seats away' instead to peeps who bought this pass for a one-off payment of $800 AUD.

      It would be a case of separate tickets for each leg, so you would buy Perth to say KUL then buy another ticket from KUL to TYO. How this works with transiting and shit, I would have no idea since you would technically have 2 tickets so theoretically luggage will need to be manually done…. + you might have to enter then exit immigration.

      But if you plan the trip well, say 1-2 days break in KUL between each flight it would work out well.

          'KLIA is a long way from the city'

          KLIA2 (last I looked was the AirAsia-only terminal) is a long way from the main KUL terminal

          and it seemed about 1km from the food court at the parking lot entrance

          we started walking to stretch our legs after the long flight from Oz,

          and eventually hitched a ride on an electric buggy - it was just too far !

          If it's as good as I seem to recall T2 Nasi Kandar is recommended for roti canai and teh tarik during the inevitable hours-long layover at KLIA2 - https://goo.gl/maps/f7VBvC8zeivdAc2D7

    It's not quite 100% free.

    For example a one way ticket from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur is $304.14 on Feb 4.

    The ticket breakdown is:

    1x Adult136.79 AUD
    1x Airport Tax100.90 AUD
    1x Airport Fee1.45 AUD
    1x Fuel Surcharge65.00 AUD

    So instead of $304.14 you are paying $167.35. So essentially 50% off the ticket price. Every airport has different fees and taxes but it may not be as great as it sounds.

    • yty1997628 on 05/12/2022 - 15:53

      The tax from australia is very expensive. But from Malaysia to Korean or Japan will be cost under 80 aud for a round way trip.

      • neil on 05/12/2022 - 16:04
        +11

        True, KL to Osaka One Way, Feb 1, RM 650:

        1x Adult579.07 MYR
        1x Passenger Service Charge50.00 MYR
        1x Regulatory Service Charge1.00 MYR
        1x Malaysia Departure Levy20.00 MYR

        So RM 71 (~A$24) instead of RM 650 (~A$218)

        • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2022 - 17:12
          +3

          So that means you can get from Mel > Japan for….$250ish? At a time when direct 1 stoppers are going for $2k+ all through Feb, $1000+ all through march?

          There has to be a catch, aside from "DIY Leg bookings" and "A bit of pain at transfer".

            @[Deactivated]: You would have to book a one way flight from Melbourne to KL, KL to Osaka/Tokyo and then reverse. You'd have to match up all the flights so you may need to stay over in KL.

            So Melb - KL Feb 8 One Way $171 (Fare $301)
            KL - Tokyo Feb 9 One Way RM 71/$24 (Fare RM650 / $218)

            $195 One Way + 1 night in KL (or long layover in airport)

            vs. $590 One Way with Scoot.

            • also you'll have to add bags, meals, seat selection on each leg.

    Welcome to SUPER+! As a subscriber, you gain access to a dashboard showing a list of exclusive perks for you to enjoy.

    For Free AirAsia flight seats, a unique promo code will be auto-generated from the dashboard. Select flights that are marked ‘100% OFF’.

    If they limit the free seats to the cheaper booking classes / a select few seats per flight, it would seriously diminish the value of this. If it was open for all pass holders even if there was like < 5 seats left, this would be an insane deal,

    Air Asia is very dodgy so beware. They cancelled my trip during the start of the pandemic and emailed me saying they will process a refund, after a couple of months of nothing I tried getting in contact with them, their customer service is next to non existent as well. In the end, after almost a year they emailed me and told me that my trip was non refundable. So no thanks.

                  As I said, if you follow Air Crash Investigations you'll find that this is more common than you think.
                  The worst air crash in history was when a KLM pilot decided to take-off without clearance crashing his 747 into another 747.
                  The second biggest was JAL due to a Boeing certified technician performing an incorrect repair.
                  Or how about when an Air New Zealand pilot flew into the side of a mountain because the pilot didn't know where he was at the time?
                  All of these incidents are out of your control as a passenger. To think that you can control this through your choice of airline is extreme naivety.

        What crime is that?

    • Aequitas on 05/12/2022 - 18:20

      I was in the same boat, got my flight cancelled. But they sent many emails about it and what to do. I got my credit about ~6 months ago with barely any effort.

    I remember they offered a similar type of product back in April/May 2020 as Covid-19 was unraveling. Pretty dodgy.

    Edit: I have flown with Air Asia many times within Asia, they're fine for those short trips within Asia, but long-haul flights (eg. Melbourne to KL) are tough!!

      long-haul flights (eg. Melbourne to KL) are tough

      I would agree with that. I've done like 80 trips on budget airlines and anything over 3hrs is tough. People must be pretty desperate to try those 13hr flights from KL to Europe.

          You probably don’t need to share your hygiene status!!

        Recently flown with Singapore airlines … felt like shxt after 3 hrs

        the seats are narrow and cramped in economy class

        they ain't that shxt a decade ago and i swear i didn't gain in size

          Their A350 seats are smaller than the seats they used on their A380’s which they used to fly pre-COVID.

      I've taken Melbourne-KL multiple times. Feels normal for me. But again, I've only ever flown budget airline all my life, so you don't miss/compare what you've never had.

      • Charlie Dont Surf on 05/12/2022 - 16:22

        I've done PER-KUL on Airasia, and PER-SIN on Scoot/Tiger, but paid the extra surcharge for the emergency-row seat. I don't need to be fed on a 6 hour flight, but the seat-pitch on these LCCs just don't agree with me! (1.94m). I can just get by on a two- hour flight, but beyond that, no.

      Edit 2: It was at the start of March 2020 that they launched the previous product: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/521725. From memory, everything started to go pear-shaped in around mid-March. I remember anxiously trying to fly home on the 18th March.

      • dcep on 05/12/2022 - 17:45

        Good on you.

        No more flights in May 2020 until 2022.

      I've flown MEL-KL many times on AirAsia, never had an issue. Actually prefer it to Malaysia Airlines, get to choose meals etc. Earlier this year I flew SIN-MEL on Scoot, worst flight of my life by far.

      • montorola on 05/12/2022 - 21:00

        Lol why was it so bad (Scoot)

          Seats were being held together with sticky tape. They spent the whole flight handing out meals in a seemingly random order, then the meal was genuinely inedible. No in-flight entertainment available at all.

          Half the plane was really angry because they'd paid for Singapore Airlines tickets, but got put onto Scoot without being told. I suggested they ask for the fare difference back.

            @900913: when I read that Scoot would not allow you to bring your own bottled water (or course emptied before and refilled after customs) because they want to sell you bottled water for $6, I went yeah nah that looks like an airline I will choose NEVER to fly with.

          • TimSubaru on 07/12/2022 - 10:01

            @900913: I fly scoot 787 every two months , no sticky tape , no entertainment I know this , tell me how I can fly to Singapore return 7 hour flight for $320 elsewhere? Meal I eat before hand only 7-8 hours and bring my own water on board. If you got switched by Singapore airline then head with them !!!

            Scoot food not very good abs expensive that why I not utilize.

            Scoot luggage cost expensive that why a 10kilo carry on is much better then AA 7kilo. Plus have heavy pockets
