    Well, it's a fantastic offer but I have checked every outbound date and there's no £71 fare available (checking for 3 adults, 1 infant). I wonder if anyone has had more joy? (I called their call centre but they are unable to say if there are any dates at that fare still available.)

    Ha - well that would explain why I couldn't find any flights at that fare. Would it be OK to blame it on the fact that I slept 5 hours last night :)
    Thanks.

    Nice find :)

    But note that the offer is ONE WAY only (i.e. you'll have to buy another flight (presumably at full price) if you want to come home again. (TnCs: "all fares are quoted for single journey (one-way) only ")

    Also, "A non-refundable Convenience Fee is applicable for payments via credit, debit or charge card". Not sure how much that is.

    i really want to book this but i hope i'd have a job by then
  • Sounds very tempting, but if you check out the reviews online on any site they are so horrendous that I am too scared to fly longhaul with them.

    Well I slept 6 and yet did the same as you. I did finally spot it though after I'd gone through the whole period clicking "next day".l

    i've flown air asia before i found them fine, although not long-haul

    just have low expectations i.e. no tv, have to pay for food etc plus for the price.

    same here, not long haul, but used them several times, MUCH better than our budget airlines.

    Of course, i'd prefer to fly BA Club Class, but I'm too tight for that if I have to pay for it.
