It’s clearly Flyertalk morning, because hat tip to Flyertalk Air Asia is offering a true $0+tax (no fuel surcharges) fare sale. Book by November 16 (which comes earlier over there than it does here in the U.S.) for travel between June 22 and October 24 — so lots of advance planning required — and you can fly just for the taxes.
By way of example, here’s an availability chart for flights out of Kuala Lumpur and here’s a chart for flights in and out of Bangkok.
Specific flights, with total price, booked by the person starting the Flyertalk thread were:
Clark-Kuala Lumpur one-way: $7.08 all-in (airport tax payable at airport)
Kuala Lumpur-Tawau (Borneo)-KL RT : $19.22 all-in (airport tax incl.)
Kuala Lumpur-Bangkok one-way: $15.31 all-in (airport tax incl.)
Bangkok-Jakarta-Bangkok RT: $33.89 all in (BKK airport tax incl)
You’re not gambling a whole lot of you think you need these flights. Intra-Asia flying can be quite cheap anyway, but these deals are truly cheap.
Be careful of the trick by AirAsia, no surcharge but higher ticket price now compares with previous. The surcharge is added to the ticket, and even higher price to buy.
