Air Asia (Free Seats,No Fuel Charge)

Now Everyone Can Fly!!

Those Malaysians who likes to travel have to really say thanks to Tony Fernandes!

I saw the advertisment at the night on 11th Nov, Air Asia is giving away 500,000 free seats from 12th Nov to 16th Nov ..and started from 11th Nov, there will be no fuel charges on all flights.

Wow, what's an impressive offer! Hmm... I doubt how true it is, will we be charging higher on the admin fees and airport tax??

I decided to check on the fees (tax and admin) before the offer. The fees to China, will be around RM160, so if I pick the free seats for return tickets, I'll have to only pay RM160+ luagage fees+ food and travel insurance. Seems within my budget!

I told dear: "well, since we both have RM200 air asia voucher, why not we go for a holidays?" He mentioned to me before, no travel in Year 2009 as we have to keep budget for our house renovation in mid of Yr 2009 and also early of Year 2010, we have to go to Taiwan for pre-wedding photo shooting.

After some discussion, we come into a conclusion. If the air fares (all in) below RM200, we will go for that otherwise, sorry, no budget. Keke.

We did somemore thinking then and feel that we are too selfish to go ourselves. Our parents work for half of their lifes to growth us and they don't even have chance to go to oversea as frequent as us. We decided to bring 'our' Mums together. As usual both of our Papa a bit "anti-social". Haha, they are not interested in travelling with us.

12a.m. strike, I log into airasia.com and search for the free flights. Expected, the traffic is heavy and it took few minutes to go in to another page and somtimes it will hang on the page. I chant hard and hope I'll get the free seats on the date I chosen. Destination- KUL-> GZHOU, Date- 2nd Sept to 7th Sept.

Lucky us, free seats at first click! RM200 all in per person and return tickets for 4 of us only RM800. Wow!! The whole process took me 1 and a half hour , we get everything done at 1.30a.m.
