Not bookable yet by the looks of things:
AN AIRFARE war is set to break out on flights to Asia following the announcement budget carrier AirAsia X will begin flying from Sydney to Malaysia. The airline is offering introductory flights to Kuala Lumpur from April from $99 one way, on to Bali from $159 and Phuket in Thailand from $139.
It follows Singapore Airline's budget offshoot Scoot's announcement last month that it would begin flying from Sydney to Singapore to July.
The new airlines will make it quicker and cheaper to get to Asia than ever before, with AirAsia X offering links to more than 80 destinations.
AirAsia X already flies to KL from the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Perth and the introduction of flights from Sydney had been highly anticipated.
Goods news for the tourist traveller.
Bookable from 2PM AEDST
Pretty good A$7.00 +A$92 Tax SYD-KUL
The reverse is nice too KUL-SYD-KUL for 571MYR all in (360MYR taxes).
No through fares from HKG though
Syd-Kul-Syd with premium flat bed (business) for $947 on a dummy booking in July!! Wow...
AirAsia X - Premium
Only negative is that you use the LCCT at KUL...not the nicest terminal in the world but I have seen worse....
Dreaming of my next flight...

Some of the on-flights pretty great too, e.g fly to Saigon for $149 (from SYD). All the reviews from this part of the world suggest Air Asia is the premium LCC (i.e. better that Jetstar) too.
Great times too! SYD-KUL departs @ 1100 and gets in at 1800.
Return KUL-SYD departs around midnight, arrives around 1000.
Sweet.
For those looking at the business class seating, beware of the luggage limit.
Just booked 3 x KUL-SYD flights at AUD75 each (including seat assignment fees). Pretty hard to beat.The reverse is nice too KUL-SYD-KUL for 571MYR all in (360MYR taxes).
No through fares from HKG though
I expect though that the MEL/OOL flights will lose some business to the SYD flights.
