    I take it as you want to try the crampy seats on the D7 Airbus. :p

     

    Anyway, the last time I checked the best option I would have was to fly BKI - SIN - PER on Jetstar return. All in was RM100 cheaper. Nothing much but just a thought.

     

    Nah I appreciate your comments...but I just wanted to try D7 for myself and for the flight timings suited us better than MH and I'd rather fly a D7 A333 then a MH A333.

     

    I'll do a trip report and give my honest opinion of how I find Air Asia.

    I just booked PER-KUL-PER on D7 then onto PEN rtn last night.

     

    Paid $421 (roughly RM1010.40) per person PER-KUL-PER although the outbound leg is in the XL seating but by the time 20kgs of baggage and a Malaysian meal was factored in it work out at $1026 (RM2462.40) for the both of us to travel in July.

     

    And the flight KUL-PEN-KUL was a promo fare of RM9 per sector each = RM36 but by the time baggage and meals are again factored in it came to RM416!! MH for the both of us was RM380 rtn, but after flying them on 2 previous trips I wanted to give Air Asia a bash and their flight timings on the domestic flight suited our needs better.

     

    My observations is the fare might look cheaper on face value but it pays to do some research into the total cost of the ticket once everything is added on.

     

    I don't understand how come a LCC can be more expensive than a legacy carrier such as MH on the same domestic route.

     

    Also with regards to their STN flight going daily I was always under the assumption it was going to be once they received their second A340....PR hype.

    Norman, et al...I think Chaity is on the money here. The first bird is a 747-400F and looks like its got 4 "tubes" under the wings (ie RR RB211's) which fits the LX-PCV profile

     

    It hasn't got the SUD (stretched upper deck) either so it's a B744F.

    Hi Folks,

     

    Does anyone know the seating configurations for 9M-XAA and XXA?

     

    Reason I ask is in PER we have now seen -XAA a couple of times on the 'red-eye' flight. I was under the impression that the new one XXA was for PER and MEL flights exclusively and XAA for OOL and China services.

     

    I was under the impression that XAA was around the 320 pax mark and XXA and the rest of their new deliveries were 396 total pax, but that said I recall reading that XAA would be reconfigured to match the rest of the new A333's when XXB arrives.

     

    Many thanks in advance.
