...or at least, that's their plan.

AirAsia X to restart London flights - Australian Business Traveller

$700 returns coming back!?

Amazulu

Awesome news. They've been hinting at this for a while

$1800 for 3 of us return in 2010

Hawaii would be great too - especially for us in WA

Is the booze free? Important to know on the long haul.

Amazulu

No

At least Air Asia X has booze to buy...normal Air Asia doesn't sell alcohol!

I flew AAX KUL-OOL and they loaded no beer! Wasted revenue opportunity for them!

Need booze on long haul. In fact need it on short haul.

Oooooh!! Wonder how much the 'big seats' will be?

I used to think that, but have opted for just drinking water on my last few long haul and it really makes a difference (positive difference that is).

They also operate a 'lottery' system where you pay, I think, $10 and get if selected pay another $90 (again, can't remember the exact figure) to get the upgrade. We did this on our flight back from Osaka

I'm sure that an upgrade to London would cost more though

Scoot have a similar setup where you bid what you like for an upgrade. On a recent flight to SIN we bid $150 for 2 seats and were successful

Good info Zulu, cheers

They run it through Optiontown I think:

Thanks BC, I knew nothing about all this! Very handy option for short hauls like Singapore

I remember they used to do those flights for normal average joe economy seats. It would cost between £400-£500 for a return from UK to Australia. That was only a few years ago so this is very good news indeed. Shame the British government like to shaft passengers with large tax's 😩

.....and the Australian government don't?

Why is it so much more expensive to travel from Australia to the UK than the other way round?
