theoldgit Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The latest free seat promotion goes on sale next week, Monday 14th for domestic flights an Wednesday 16th for international departures. The flight period is for early next year, seats go on sale at 00.00 (GMT + 8), though I never know what that actually means. I suppose this means that next week there will be some happy bunnies passing on details if their bargain flights along with the normal assortment of those that criticise all things Air Asia.

craigt3365 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks for the heads up!!! I did this several years ago and it worked out fantastic. Hard to get to the site to book the tickets, but in the end, it worked out. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150938195687387&set=a.126637407386.141139.18801397386&type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie888888 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks for that. By the way, there is a new budget airline BKK-SIngapore. It's called SCOOT. My friend had a long weekend to Singapore and he paid 3000baht return, incl. all taxes! He had to book 2 months in advance though. Good to have alternatives, especially if it will drive prices down!

lovelaos Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Cheers theoldgit. I have never worked out the GMT+8 thing either!!! From my understanding it starts at 08:00 Malaysia time. Can anyone confirm? With these deals it's best to get on it early so would like to know when the sale starts (Thai time) I've picked up some great deals with AirAsia and never had a complaint flown 100+ times.

lovelaos Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Explains GMT http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ So, 00:00 GMT+8 = 07:00 Thai time? Sorry but I've had a hard day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I've had a hard day 0800 Malaysian time, 0700 Thai time. In this case the AA deal refers to Malaysian time. When it is 0000hrs(midnight) GMT(London), or whatever the quoted time might be, just add/subtract the number of hours to the respective country which is ahead/behind GMT. At present London is one hour ahead of GMT as it is summer time/daylight saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryp Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Great ................nothing like buying a ticket (you still pay all the fees what ever aa say) 1 year in advance to save a couple of thousand baht, oh its also fantastic when flying from BKK as you will have NO IDEA which airport you will be dept from or arriving at But a bargain is a bargain. I will stick with Thai all inclusive e-fares thanks then I know what i am paying for and ALSO know 100% i'll be using Swampy (edit for: Taxins remote controlled mouth piece has confirmed ALL LOW COST CARRIERS will be required to move over to DM later THIS year) Edited May 12, 2012 by terryp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saengsureeya Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Got this in my mail today (Thailand): Malaysia is one hour ahead of Thailand, so there it will start at 00.00 Edited May 12, 2012 by saengsureeya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Malaysia is in the time zone GMT + 8. Thailand is in the GMT+7. If it says 00:00 (GMT + 8), that means 00:00 in that time zone (in Malaysia in this case), NOT 8 o'clock in Malaysia. And Thailand is one hour behind so it will be 11 pm here. Hope this helps :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
