Can someone who has been on Air Asia X to London recently tell me how the conditions are on such a long journey? e.g leg room, onboard entertainment, food, seat comfort, etc.

Im planning a trip to UK and Europe next year. The KL - London trip with AirAsia isnt that much cheaper than other airlines like Qatar Airways. Difference maybe about RM 300 when u take the extra baggage and food costs.

Check out the MAS promo starting today. Really cheap prices. A Return trip to Rome is only RM 3218. London only RM 3734. Paris - RM 3347. Fares are all inclusive.

RM 3218 for a direct flight on MAS is considered cheap. Last week the ticket cost RM 4542 for the same date. So its a big discount.

For the same destination, Qatar Airways costs RM 3104 (with 1 stopover in Doha) while Emirates cost RM 4140 with a stopover in Dubai. Air Asia ticket from KL - Stansted (London) costs about RM3000 (including tax, food, comfort kit, etc) but with much less luxury and comfort.

So in comparison to this, MAS is surely a cheaper and better choice. Now is the best time to travel to Europe and UK. Make use of the low foreign currency exchange. In about 1 years time, the currencies might be back to normal. So try and travel now. When the currencies are high again, focus on Asia. But for now try and consider Europe.

When i toured Europe in 2008, the UK Pound was trading at RM 6.30 while the Euro was at RM 5.50. Now its only RM 4.98 and RM 4.32 respectively. Big difference.

What date did u get ZERO fare for Macau? IM looking for any weekend in August or September...let me know!

I think this is the worst ZERO fare promo ever from Air Asia. There are actually very few ZERO fares. More promo fares and all during off peak only. Damn!

The website was slow till about 5am. Best was this morning at 7am when i managed to get 4 tickets to Bangkok for RM 158 each (return). Now the website is slow again. Damn!

Next time pay with Maybank2u.

What do u mean no return ticket???

Give us the destinations and the dates la. Then we can double check also.

Yes most ZERO fares are for local destinations. Has anybody found for international destinations yet? if so please share

Are u sure? The cheapest ive got for Macau is RM 393 (return, tax inclusive) for various dates in July, August, Sept, Oct and Nov and thats already a promo fare. What is the exact dates la

WHAT DATES?

Any idea when is the promo for AAX starting?

Flights start 14 Feb 2011.

Any idea why there is no banner on the Air Asia X promo on the webite? Its supposed to start at midnite tonite rite?

Where is the ZERO fares for Air Asia X????

Never book separately if ure travelling in a group. Anyway, keep trying.

Actually the fares for certain sectors are not that cheap. The cheapest for KL - London - KL (mid week travel off peak season) is RM 1540 (return tax inclusive). Once you include food, luggage and comfort kit, the price becomes RM 1950.

You can get a full service airline like Qatar Airways for about RM 2300 for peak travel with all the extra comforts. So spending an extra RM 350 for comfort on a 12 hr journey i think is worth it.

Yes. China and Australia is quite cheap. UK is cheap on paper but once u include all the additional frills and the cost of travel from Standsted to London city, its better to take a full service airline.

Yes the cheapest seat to Melbourne is going for RM 544 all inclusive return. I think most ppl were expecting some ZERO fares instead of low fares.
