    Well, I've just checked every single day during the period for LON - KUL and they are all £241 plus taxes. Event the tax goes up from £71 to £101 from 1 November. Anyone know any different, please correct me.

    OOPS - offer doesn't start till 9 June!

    Maybe because the booking period is 9-10 June? (today is the 8th)

    I wonder if they use UK or Malaysian time on their website, there's going to be a stampede tomorrow! :rotfl:

    Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning? We posted at the same time. If you had already corrected your post I wouldn't have bothered replying.

    From previous experience they use Malaysian time and their website can't cope with the stampede. If you see anything you want you've got to persevere or wait until the rush dies down which may be too late.

    Thank you, I wondered if that would be the case. Still, well worth the effort of trying and well done to the lucky ones that manage to bag tickets!

    The stampede starts at 5pm today = 00:00 malaysian time.

    I want to go in Jan 2011, mmmh.....decision time.....

    # They will refund airport/tax fee if you are unable to go, charge processing fee of 90 RM = approx £20 (conversion rate £1 to 4.5 RM etc)

    # Flight / Name change / Cancellation: International Route = 90 RM
    (per guest per sector) - No Name change allowed on promo tickets.

    Might be worth a shot if I cannot go and only lose £20.

    Oh please also be aware luggage and meal are added extra, so lose that if you cannot go. + credit card convenience fee of 5RM approx £1.20 pp each way, non refundable.
    (I think maybe a way around this is to not select on board meals and luggage at time of booking, then add them in nearer departing if you're sure you can go)

    Jan 2011 is outside the Travel Period : 11 October 2010 - 14 November 2010

    For those who haven't flown to Air Asia's KL hub before, bear in mind it's about 90 mins away from KL, and the cheapest/easiest way is to sign up for the Air Asia Bus, which is only a few quid.

    Yes I know hence if I go for the november date and finds myself not able to make it then I lose processing and conv fee. Air bus is about £2 from LCCT to KL central, £1.50 if book in advance with flight tickets I think.
