cornishcarlos Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The sale is on... It's a bit slow and you end up back in the waiting room after 10 mins. Just bagged 2 return flights BKK to Perth for 21K, I'm happy with that Mind you I didn't have any intention of going, just a sucker for a bargain... What is there to do in Perth ??? Or should I start another thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is cheaper, just ensure there is enough connecting time, use their times as a guide. But ... if you are transiting through the LCCC at KL, (say BKK - KL - OOL/SYD etc) and have booked your through ticket accordingly, then you don't need to go through Immigration, collect your bag, go back through Immigration etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saengsureeya Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Just checked flights from KL to Gold Coast for early Oct' and they are nearly twice as much as a couple of weeks ago. Am I missing something? Thought, I'll book a flight on 23-12 to P.P. instead of a border run. A whopping THB 8,000 popped up. There are probably 2 seats available.......no lie in the Big Sale.

theoldgit Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm a big fan of Air Asia, but couldn't find anything at all for the dates and destinations over the Christmas or New Year periods that I was looking for. They mention that these fares are not available during the embargo period, but they don't say what the embargo period is, probably the holiday periods I was looking for. I notice they quote an all in price now, that's good, but they don't break down the Airport charges and fees, a figure of 1000 Baht is quoted out of BKK of which 700 Baht is the departure tax, I wonder what the rest is, I assume it's detailed on their website somewhere.

They did last year I took the DOH off O.G. because it sounded too harsh - I am very surprised that got a discount last year because that is not usual for an airline to do so in the 20th - 31st December period. I am looking at a month earlier and it is coming out at 4,000 Baht for 2 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was I, ,I know from experience how busy airports are during that period, probably just struck lucky, it was to Singapore and I booked during one of their smaller promotions, we paid a tad under 6,000 for the two of us, less that half what they are quoting this year. I am looking at a month earlier and it is coming out at 4,000 Baht for 2 people. Where to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fees are fuel surcharge and airport taxes. But they are not 'all in fares' as you still have to pay for bags, seats, convenience fee, food if you want it and insurance if you can't figure out how to avoid it.

ShanePashen Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just returned 4 days ago from HKT to OOL, i just had a look at the airfares from OOL to HKT for the rest of the year, and in my opinion they have gone up about 1/3. I'm thinking possibly it's one less competitor, with the demise of Air Australia. I see no bargains in fact emirates prices direct seem about the same, when you factor in Air Asia's extra charges.

KRS1 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Air Asia always uses fake sales for marketing...and the prices on their website vs at the counter are never the same, and they do not provide free water or snack on the CNX-BKK route like Nok Air does. Good thing their stewardesses are hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
