Re: Super Cheap Air Asia Premium Deal

I'm not seeing the really good deals unfortunately, maybe just looking at the wrong dates.

Oh my lord, thank you so much for posting!

Re: Super Cheap Air Asia Premium Deal

deal is dead now. There are still $300 economy returns and approx $700 premium returns available but the $0 plus taxes fares in premium are gone.

I suspect it was an error

I got in at 7:15, 2 pax return SYD-KUL in Premium, $544 including $34 odd in credit card fees. Got a booking confirmed email, money has been taken off the AMEX, and have been able select seats - but no itinerary as yet.

Will be a fun night away if it is honoured!!

sorry for double posting, next time i will know where the right place is. Deal has expired. that means the fault as been rectified. question - Will those cheap tickets be honoured or refunded? JoyV

I'm currently in Kuala Lumpur and a few hours ago got off an Air Asia X SYD-KUL flight in their premium cabin ..... it's actually not too bad for a LCC. MUCH better than JQi's equivalent because at least D7 has fully flat but angle sloping seats compared to JQs recliners. As its a LCC I wasn't expecting much and that pretty much summed up the experience received. Definitely a third tier premium cabin experience but then again it is probably a third tier airline. Good luck to those who booked this deal, I hope it sticks.

If this had worked out of MEL I would have jumped in.

I will be surprised if they honor it though - it was clearly an error fare charging taxes only for 'J'. Airlines only honor error fares for 3 reasons:
1) They legally have to (i.e. because of DOT);
2) They are worried about bad publicity; or
3) They don't want to lose loyal customers.

Reason 1 does not apply in this case because the fares do not touch the US and LCCs dont usually care about Reasons 2 and 3. They'd probably welcome the bad publicity to promote their 'J' product - I dont think thta many know they have it.
