Atmos Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 cheers; I'm on an aircard and too slow to make AA bookings that way so will head to an internet place 4km away - worth the trip I came back from Penang yesterday on cheap fares I bought last year, in May we head to Phnom Penh at the crazy cheap fare of 290b each way.

Hmmmmm and the full story, how much are the taxes Air Asia are pretty straightforward with their pricing - unlike some LCCs. The airport taxes are shown in the pricing menu and they are the exact same amounts as are levied by the respective airports. They don't charge fuel supplements. The only slightly questionable fee is the recently introduced "convenience fee" for paying with a credit or debit card. The attempts to add on insurance and other extras, and the perverse mouse clicks needed to remove them are also a bit disapointing. However compared with say, Ryanair, I think Air Asia do quite well.

theoldgit Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wish they would give a heads up as to what their latest offer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmos Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hmmmmm and the full story, how much are the taxes some things can't be avoided, whatever the discount - taxes! Still a cheap trip, as follows: 700 baht airport tax 150 baht airport fee 140 baht convenience fee (for online booking) and 290 baht x 2 for flights and I'll have to pay USD$25 departure/airport tax when leaving Phnom Penh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wish they would give a heads up as to what their latest offer is. It should be the usual "free tickets" [or thereabouts] offer for the November/December/January period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The travel period is 13th September until 29th February, it's only Air Asia flights this week though they will be doing Air Asia X flights next week. They have sneaked in higher charges for checked luggage on the back of the higher oil prices due to the problems in the Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Looking for flights to/from CNX to HDY or BKK over Christmas/New-Year, it looks as though these have not yet been loaded onto the booking-site, which may make it more-difficult to book them under the offer ? Or perhaps one needs to pay a surcharge-fee, whisper it quietly, to see what flights they will operate ?

theoldgit Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well not the free flights I had hoped for but not too bad I suppose. I have booked a return flight to Macau for 3000 Baht each, all in, and Hanoi for 1800. I need to open an account with the Siam Commercial Bank to get rid of the convenience fee. As I said yesterday they have hiked checked luggage to 450 Baht each way for a standard bag and preselected seat prices have also been increased.

Convenience fee, baggage fee, seat selection fee - they've all gone up by very large percentages. Good deals still to be had during the promotions, but I think the size of these fee increases will make Air Asia much less attractive on their normal fares. The difference between Air Asia regular fares and the lowest prices for Thai/Bangkok Airways is going to almost disappear I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Not too bad, GBP 130 all-in for 4 Pax CNX-HDY-CNX, including (luxury personified !) sitting-together & 40kgs of luggage, for a couple of weeks over Xmas/New-Year. So I guess it will be Christmas with family & by-the-beach this year ! But a cheap-return CNX-KUL-STN in the autumn was GBP 451, even before wanting an aisle-seat or taking any hold-luggage, and an 11-hour overnight-connection in KUL on the return-flight ! Not so good.

Thailand Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Deals not so good as in the past. Interesting to see if ThaiTigerAirways really provide some competition should they ever take off, 3rd delay already-put back to May! TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
