AirAsiaX CEO said somewhere that their OOL flights were profitable, and have enabled them to expand in this market, catering for demand. So not catering for extra aircraft capacity that is just sitting there which provided extra MEL capacity.
New fares up yesterday and system was working ok for me.New seats look good.............................................. ......Why?
Nope, we're all well aware of your AAX hatred. Don't need to hear it again.
So I got 2x OOL-KUL-MEL (I hate arriving back at OOL, and it's actually easier for me to go MEL-BNE at the end of it all) for $500, including meals, 15/20kg baggage (there/back), and my pick of seats, including a couple of the hot seats. I'm trying out row 7 for the first time. Normally I love my 35K, but figured I should step out of my comfort zone
Say what you want about D7/AK, but >20 flights so far and not a single hitch despite rediculously low fares ... I'll keep the $$$ in my pocket, and the nasi lemak in my belly
Agree
I've done around 14 flights (I think ?) all in seat 15A without any problems.
When this sale first went live they had their K.L to India routes in thier new reconfigured PE with lie flat seats for $0 fare + approx $40 tax !
Just FYI for anyone who isnt aware - if you book and don't fly, you're entitled to a refund of the airport tax paid (less an admin fee).
When they have seat sales - I use them like an option/rights issue.
I book the seat without any extras. If I decide to take the flight I pay for the extras before flying and if I choose not to take the flight I get the airport tax refunded - and I've only burned minimal $$'s to have the option available.
This worked a treat with their free seat sale (pay only taxes), but they seem to have caught on - most of their sales now include an seat cost lol
