Air Asia 1,000,000 Free Tickets Update
Ok. It is official. Air Asia’s site went down for about 10 minutes at 10.30pm. When it came back up again, there it was in bright bold red letters: 1,000,000 Free Seats over 70 routes across Asia.
Booking period: 10th January 2007 - 19th January 2007
Travel period: 1st April 2007 - 27th October 2007
The news was actually announced to RedAlert newsletter subscribers 24 hours before (e.g. it actually started on 9th January 2007). So for those of you who aren’t subscribed yet, might be a good idea to do so. Just so you don’t miss out on great offers like this.
Airport taxes and fuel surcharge applies. While the air tickets are free, it is technically not entirely free. But it’s a good offer nonetheless. As usual, it’s first come first served. Check out ticket availability and grab it while it lasts. Once again, good luck and happy hunting.

please update me the cheapest airfare to London. anytime between now and until september, 2007
G: Might like to wait for Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair. That will start on 31st January 2007. Alternatively, Air Asia is flying there with their new long haul flight (FAX) starting July 2007. Depends on what you want and what you’re willing to pay for.

wanna ask…FAX booking will be sometime in feb if i’m not mistaken..mas fair will be end of jan ..and obviously before airasia FAX promo…which one provides better service..or in kata mudahnya..mana lagik berbaloi in terms of tiket price and keselesaan for 14 hours journey?
does AirAsia provides served inflight food or we have to buy like the one they have right now..sorong troli n jual to passenger?
G: FAX does not serve in-flight food or entertainment. You’ll have to buy the food from the trolley like in current Air Asia flights. Entertainment can be rented. I don’t know whether FAX provides blankets. Probably not. MAS provides everything.
FAX will transit via one of the Middle East countries (probably Emirates). MAS flies direct. As with all transit flights, chances of delays are high.
Which one is better depends on whether you’re looking for creature comforts or trying to cut costs. FAX will definitely be cheaper. If you want entertainment, you can probably bring a book. And with the amount of money you save from the air ticket, I’m sure you can afford two packets of RM50 nasi lemak from the food cart. Should note that according to the new security rules, you won’t be able to bring your own food on-board flights. Or if you can tahan 14 hours without food, then it’s not a big deal :)
Personally, I would go for FAX if I don’t have to keep to a tight schedule and had time to spare. However, if I was in a rush (e.g. following a tour or have limited time to spare), then I would go with MAS. I’m not too particular about comfort. But then again, since I’ve never really flown long haul before, my opinion might not be the best to consider.

let me know if they offer flights to UK.Are they really going to UK on long haul?
G: I’m quite sure they are. Would be bad for their image if it were otherwise since they’ve already announced it.

G: Hi Mima, the free tickets are offered over a period of time. During that period, you just need to run a search for the dates that you would like to fly. If free seats are available, they will show in the results.
