AirAsia offers free seats for KL-Perth

 

KUALA LUMPUR: From midnight Thursday, 5,000 free seats will be available for the Perth-Kuala Lumpur flights via AirAsia X.

 

The free seats up for grabs are for the travel period between Nov 2 and April 30, 2009.

 

AirAsia X director Datuk Tony Fernandes said the offer was only available for booking on Friday and Saturday and it was in conjunction with the launch of the long haul budget airline's new direct service from KL to Perth, Western Australia.

 

"From midnight today, you can try to get free seats to Perth. I've already received 27 SMSes from Malaysians and Australians in Perth asking what time they can start booking," he told reporters Thursday after the launch of the long haul destination to Perth here.

 

He said the average fare to Perth would be under RM400 including fuel surcharge and the return fare for business class seats was about RM2,000.

 

"Many people have been asking when we are going to Perth. It has the largest Malaysian student population and Malaysians and Singaporeans living there. Our dream of turning Malaysia into a hub for people flying around South-East Asia destinations is also becoming a reality."

 

Perth is the airline's third international destination following its launch to Hangzhou, China in February this year with five return flights per week and to Gold Coast Australia in November last year with four return flights.

 

AirAsia X will offer six return flights per week between Perth and KL, and is already planning to increase the flights to daily return flights by March 2009. The airline’s new wide-bodied Airbus A330 aircraft will service the route.

 

To date, AirAsia X has carried over 50,000 guests between Gold Coast and Kuala Lumpur, and 30,000 between Hangzhou.

very decent indeed, website slow. cant even get into the booking page!! since yesterday <_>

Website quite fast from Shah Alam. But I'll skip this deal. Perth in summer is hmmmm ... too hot!

 

I think school hols is 14/03/09-22/03/09, according to my reckoning, so disclaimer applies. And plenty of RM0.00 tix for that period. So, take the risk (in case my calculation is off) - treat your kids to a Perth vacation.

Perth boringlah hehe... spotting with Kian Hong/Liam/MIR oklah hehe

[Ryan Soh 3]

Yippee!!!! I managed to get onto a RM0.00 fare to PER.

 

In total with taxes included, I am paying an equivalent of SGD 450.00 (with meals, assigned seats and checked baggage) for a return flight to Perth. Which is really a steal. Now I just have to find my way to KL to catch that flight. <_>

I STILL CANT GET IN THE RED WEBSITE!!! <_>

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

Got myself on the inaugural flight!

 

 

But only I will be in PER for 24 hours only due to some work commitments. I hope 24 hours is enough for me to discover what PER has to offer. Will probably meet Michael there!

 

For comparison, the cheapest flight to PER on the same days with MH costs MYR 2,521 all inclusive (H Fare). So I guess, D7 just gave me instant cash reward of MYR 1,874.

 

About the booking, I added another MYR 40 for Malaysian Food on both the inbound and outbound trips. AIG GoInsure didn't offer their service to this PER ticket unfortunately.

 

The earlier mentioned IFE is also not available for purchase. I think it will be introduced in later flights.

Hehehe ... ya lah. Been to Perth 2x, but nothing really memorable. I'd rather opt for the impending AKX flight to Japan during the same period.

[KK Lee 5]

 

Managed to book return to PER in November for RM608.50!

According to the nujum cuti friend of mine, the March school holiday is going to be on the second week of the month. That means 7-15 March 2009.

He has always been right in the past years. But I'm not putting my money on it... hahahah.

 

Ok lah. I'll skip this offer since Perth in summer is hot and March 2009 holiday is not conclusive yet. There are going to be more offers and destinations coming our way later.

 

It's interesting times indeed.

I wish to challenge this nujum. I used proven 'scientific method', i.e. to study previous years' trends ... and lo and behold, 1st half of Term I always comprised 10 weeks of about 47 days of schooling. Since Term I '09 starts on 05/01/09, we move 10 weeks ahead to the week of 16/03 - that's the cuti week.

 

And yes, deducting CNY and Prophet Muhammad's Birthday in that period, we have 47 days of schooling.
