Yes I tried it but did not get it, booked too late. Did you google around? Each AAX flight for example only has 12 premium seats altogether and most of them are taken up by paying passengers so you need to be very early to get it.

The only problem is that optiontown uses USD so they charge you USD (converted to RM at a certain date) then they refund you in USD (converted back to RM at a different date) so you could profit or lose depending on the exchange rate.

Thanks for your feedback. Hopefully can get it too!
But if I'm really get it, then it will double up everything that I had pre-purchase such as meals, luggage allowances, etc...
Because I only notice the offer after I make the purchase of everything ... Too bad...
Anyway, do hope for the best! rclxms.gif

That's correct, if you do get optiontown everything you bought previously basically is burnt and you have to pay AAX again biggrin.gif
Beautiful way of making money eh? biggrin.gif

Not to say burnt la...
Just double up everything only ... The only burnt was pick-a-seat payment if optiontown really give u those upgrade.
Dont mind eating double meal onboard. Plus the luggage allowance is bit not so flexible because they only can confirm u at least 3 days or 4 hours b4 departure only.

Let say they confirm u 4 hours b4, where can we grab until 20kg souvenir? If really grab b4 the upgrade confirm, it would risky too, the airport might charge u more... bit of uncertainty...
Anyway, I bought my flight ticket last year april and decide to upgraded optiontown in May 2011 and flight was end of Jan 2012. Hopefully can grab it! LoLz...

I search the date that I wanna travel Taiwan some when this year:

AA: KUL-TPE:
Ticket and Taxes: RM299
Baggage 30kg: RM95
Meal: RM13
Travel Insurance: RM18
Seat: RM35
===========
RM 477
===========

MAS KUL-TPE:
Ticket: RM 59
Taxes: RM 65
Surcharges: RM 401
(Includes meals, insurances, 30kg allowance etc)
===========
RM 525
===========

RM48 difference! Additional RM48 for extra comfort and better service, why not?!
Of course there are cheaper flight for other area, but for hot destination, i m think other airline offer much better compare to AA.
