KUL -> SIN - for free (as in beer)

[brett-au]

Jetstar is having a sale for Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.
It is RM0.00 for carry-on only luggage. No taxes, No fees and heaps of availability.

Search a date between 21/02/13-02/08/13 and from what I can see there are plenty of seats.

Its most likely a pricing error though.

Note its only one way.

Matching the Air Asia sale!

no taxes KUL-SIN, about 70MYR taxes for the SIN-KUL leg, not bad for SC with a plus bundle it comes to 210MYR return it comes to $65AUD for 20SC

Wow nuts... even if you can't make it, you just let the fare go for no forfeit penalty (i.e. you invested zero, you lose your fare = you lose zero).

I was thinking that Jetstar might have been conniving enough to charge a credit card fee if you attempt to pay 0 MYR with a credit card, but no, they were smarter than that (at least, when I was about to press the Purchase button, the total was still 0 MYR).

Just bought a KUL-SIN on JQ on Friday night. Oh well only the taxes would be the difference.

Do you get points and SCs if you buy a ticket and don't check-in?

Isn't the AirAsia sale for seats from August... and dosn't stat for 48hrs

this might not be all fairies and rainbows. The payment status shows 'ON HOLD'. I think they expect us to pay some money just to get ticketed.

I think it was the intention for them to match the Air Asia Sale, they just did not load it properly.

When I flew SIN-KUL last year it was only about $AUD 14 so even if this is a mistake they are often very cheap.

Oct/Nov last year we paid 0 just the bundle fee one way about about $7 back (plus the bundle fee) so yes it was about $60 return and we were the only ones that bought the bundle - I did it just for SC's and had no idea of the meal etc that is included as well. It may have been a sale but they come up often so I do not think it is a mistake. The biggest issue was the website highlighting the 2MYR fares as the cheapest as the 0MYR fares were "unseen" by the system I guess but still no real issue. I do remember ON HOLD status on ours vaguely but once I received the ticket via email - next day I think - ON HOLD was removed / changed to Confirmed.

 

[yohy?!]

would be interesting to hear about anyone's upcoming trip - 3K has increased their capacity on this route by 400% at the end of last year and I heard they are running at 30% capacity on average.

Hopefully no one gets the JQ Australia treatment with flights being cancelled due to low bookings and shifted to 7 days later!

Given the $0 fares are still there but with RM$58 taxes, I would say its a mistake.

.. Ha ha ..Yep.. has , can & presumably will occur..

It sounds right to me 18 aud plus 15 aud for the starter plus pack x 2 for return = 60 odd aud return

The mistake being the $0 ticket with nothing to pay that lasted less than 24 hours, now its $0 + the taxes.
