airasia business class 1299RM KUL - SYD Jan / FEB 2016

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

Just picked up a cheap business class seat with AAX to come back to Sydney mid Feb 2016

There seemed to be a decent level of availability for the night flight.

I was surprised they now include 40KG of luggage so if you wanted to go crazy with the shopping you'd have plenty of baggae capacity

Great value at this price. The flights over seemed to be 599-699 AUD which is still pretty decent too.

1299MYR is very good value for a proper lay flat abeit angled seat.

Too bad I am a chicken and have chickened out from booking anything with Air Asia. Air Asia was the most frequent plane I was on in 2014, (8 from 26 flights), but now am avoiding them for a while. For example, next month I need to fly Kota Kinabulu to Bangkok, my options were Air Asia ~$100, Malaysia Airlines ~$200 and then Singapore Airlines was ~$300. After 2014, I ended up booking Singapore Airlines.

I think the Malaysians have had their 3 bad things happen recently, so I've no qualms about flying Air Asia. In fact, I'm flying KUL-SYD bus class later this month. Yes, very good value.

And, FWIW, I'm also flying MH later this month...

I didn't realise you flew anything other than F lol

I know the chances of anything bad is sooooooo miniscule but I think the emotion can be such a powerful tool and override any objectivity and statistic.

Some routes just don't offer F unfortunately

The correct reply is - I wish I could fly F all the time

I just flew MH in J on their 380 KUL-CDG - one of the best flights I've ever had.

No issue with flying them or Air Asia. I've flown Air Asia using their lie flat and it was very good - the great service up front was also a surprise - two dedicated FAs just to the front cabin of 18.

We flew Air Asia business from OOL-KUH last year and I thought it was great value. We loved it and for a family of 4 big savings compared to Qantas. The chicken satay was lovely!!!

Oh the chicken satay - I was asking for seconds (NEVER do that for airplane food!)

Has the food offering improved? The other half and I flew D7 in 2012 and the food offering was extremely basic, not that we were expecting anything fancy.
