AirAsia X Premium Flatbed Overview

AirAsia X has two rows of Premium Flatbed seats on its Airbus A330s. These offer a lot more space, but what do you actually get?

This is a great article Matt because with the likes of Scoot Biz and Air Asia X Business, they’re arguably still cheaper and much more comfortable than a prominent local airline‘s Economy offering that purports to be a full service carrier. The Customer Service is on par if not better too.

The other huge benefit is that these two Airlines offer great options to get out of Australia to SE Asia cheaply and comfortably without paying the Australia tax nor succumbing to a local carriers’ loyalty scams offering a mere “bundle of rights”. After a comfortable stay over somewhere in SE Asia, you can then originate a business return fare to Europe with many highly reputable carriers for peanuts.

Having flown Air Asia X and Scoot Biz many times, I can thoroughly recommend both offerings as outstanding value to and from Australia. I just wish they would reinstate the old MEL-DPS direct service.

I've been quite successful with bidding on AirAsiaX, both to Premium and to Spare Seats (not offered anymore)

That said more recently I've found Scoot is often cheaper.

The hard product is great, albeit I prefer the soft product (food, drink, service) with Jetstar Biz

I’ve flown a couple of times in the Premium Flatbed but have booked and paid for it from the get go. Do you find that it is a better saving by bidding for the seat?
Cheers,

Nothing guaranteed with bidding.
And AirAsiaX Economy isn't great.

Even if you buy a flat bed 6 months out AirAsia will cancel it the morning of and move you to encomony and only offer less than half what you paid as a refund, thanks AirAsia!
