Any MalaysianWinger going there on the inaugural flight?

I was gonna be on the inaugral out of OOL, however cheapest tix from PER to OOL is $800 return!! Add $600 to get on D72702/2703 and its an expensive trip! I think i'll stick to my original plan for November.

[Walter Sim 1]

Damn, only XL Class..

 

Thought of joining if i manage to get the cheap RM50 ticket. Go to OOL and back on the next flight...

 

EDIT: Wow 1 hour and 15 minutes turnaround

All economy seats were taken up in the first 5 minutes! Only XL class seats (which is selling for MYR 1,268) are available on the inaugural flight. And so, I will stick to MH lah.

[Walter Sim 1]

RM100 extra for emergency/bassinet/bulkhead seats..

 

smart smart

RM50 seat available now. Not loaded before 1215h

[Hon Kit 3]

there is no Rm50 for Gold Coast . I just book the XL seat. for both flight. costing me Rm3209 inc tax. den add another 20 for luggage. total Rm3229. ahh!! business class without service! haha.

 

i manage to search Rm50 to Gold Coast and rm4** from gold coast though.. add up including tax is Rm1141. not bad right?

[Walter Sim 1]

yeap saw some of it.

 

RM773 return.

 

RM20 for extra meals, theres NasiLemak, 12 inch Hotdog, Chicken Pie, Vegetable Briyani, Kids Meal

 

RM20 for comfort kit..

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

Oh my god! After multiple attempts, I got the MYR 50 one way fare for both the inbound and outbound journey! I never expect this. Just to share, here are what D7 (AirAsia X) charges me:

 

Outbound Trip

D7 2702 KUL-OOL, 2 November 2007

Fare - MYR 50

Surcharge, Fees and Taxes - MYR 292

Total - MYR 342

 

Inbound Trip

D7 2703 OOL-KUL, 11 November 2007

Fare - MYR 50

Surcharge, Fees and Taxes - MYR 381

Total - MYR 431

 

I also opted for the extras:

 

- 2 comfort kits - MYR 40

- 2 advance seat request fee (43D for each trip) - MYR 40

- 2 checked baggage (less than 15 kg) - MYR 40

- 2 meals (Asian meals) - MYR 40

- GoInsure - MYR 49

 

Therefore, the total cost for my return airfare to OOL is MYR 982. Oh, and I also have to add another AUD 20 for ETA.

 

I also checked on MH's website, the available return airfare to BNE on the same date is MYR 3,802 (W fare). So, it can be said that D7 is MYR 3,000 cheaper than MH!

 

Anyone joining me?

ARRRGHHH.. i tried like crazy to get the booking. all my cards lead to decline!!!.. . Does any other people get this problem? Obviously not Azizul. Did you have problems with paying with the credit card?

[Peter Smith 1]

I'm not on the inaugral, but i will be on D72702 KUL-OOL on 7th November, seat 12A (cost me MYR502)...oh their $99 fare is bogus, I saw some for only $1!! But extra tax makes it all up.

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

The first time I managed to get into the system, I used my Enrich CIMB Gold Mastercard to make the payment but it was declined. I tried again using my Citibank Gold Mastercard and it went through.

Great deals there indeed. No doubt a certain '5-Star Airline' will cry foul . Itulah... cekik orang lagi. Now we have a value-for- money alternative.

I tried like 5 different cards, VISA/Mastercards combined. (borrow friends, mum, dad)... all decline.. just risking myself of being blocked.. I dont know what's wrong. My only guess is that the website isnt accustomed to transaction in AUD. Coz my origin is OOL, the price is in AUD.

 

I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe tmrow there wont be any of the AU99 price anymore. sob sob

I also opted for the extras:- 2 comfort kits - MYR 40

After thinking of it, I won't be needing 2 comfort kits, do I? I can use the one purchased on the outbound journey again on the inbound journey. So yes, one 'unused' AirAsia X's inaugural flight comfort kit is for sale/up for grab. Place your bid now.

Azri, keep on trying. Maybe try booking using a different PC. Insya Allah you will get through the system.

[Walter Sim 1]

Me bid 20RM LOL!!

[Ivan L. 0]

Arrgghh.. I"m so angry, can't even bought the ticket. Same problem with Azri, all of my cards declined!!! What a BS!!!

Now they run out of the AUD1 ticket already... Feel like going to slap the IT people in AK.

Sounds like you could organise an MW Do at Surfers'. Alas no MEL-OOL direct on QF so it'd have to be via SYD to attend the gathering.

...or bit the bullet and fly on Pornstar.

...or bit the bullet and fly on Pornstar.

 

Not when there;s no Star Class cabin domestically.

 

If I'm going to go LCC it'd be Vermin since I could pay an extra 60 bucks for access to The Lounge both ways. Then an extra 30 bucks for The Blue Zone. Flying Crapstar, not officially a oneworld member, might result in no Qantas Club access as my oneworld sapphire status is on AA and not QF, so very much dependent on the mood of the lounge dragon. So really, costs of flying DJ (lounge access +blue zone + food) or JQ (jetflex fare + food) vs costs of QF via SYD are similar, and given the advantages of the latter I don't see why I'd go for the LCC options. Plus only 30 SCs away from QFF Gold. But as I can't make it the point is moot.

Then pax will be stranded until the aircraft is ready (like what happened to JQ pax in HNL), or if they charter an aircraft from another airline.
