Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
I think they should just drug all the passenger B.A. style (thats BA from the A-Team not British Airways).
That would save on seats, food etc

Thanks for that, I was going to ask if anyone could list the catches. A flight that cheap to the UK was bound to be in the same league as the old Britannia Charters - pay for all the extras, and travel peasant class through the worst terminals.
I'll stick to good old Quaintarse

Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
What if both tickets are with Air Asia?
If you miss it, the airline is under no obligation to help you out, and I honestly don't think they would. Air Asia have some very Ryanair-esque policies when it comes to flight cancellations etc.....so I've read anyway. You would have to rely solely on your travel insurance.

Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
Most budget airlines - and I'm assuming AAX are one of these - only offer a point to point service. If you have a connecting flight it will be on a separate ticket. So if your incoming flight was delayed and you missed your next flight, then it would be your problem, not theirs. Ryanair and Easyjet operate like this. Those 99p (+fees) flights come at a price.

For travelling as a couple or alone, with a 2 night stop over each way... a fantastic way to go.

And I bet a flight from KL to London booked at the last minute due to missed connection would cost a lot more then $500.

Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
Stopovers therein lies a question, having never done one myself.
Is Jetlag totally negated, with a stopover in Fareast Asia.... Assuming a 12-13 hour flight to and from the UK ?

Just like the Air Asia safety message at the start of the journey.
"In the event of depressurization swipe your credit card and an oxygen mask will drop down from above"

Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
You could even use the Air Asia branded Tune Hotel in KL....room rates starting at 3USD per night! I kid you not! However you'll have to pay for a towel, air con, etc, etc................

Re: Air Asia starts the London flights out of KL
i agree with the food charges on board in AirAsia will cost an arm and a leg. Having say that they also announce that they will knock down the price even lower when there £91 (RM 271) once they increase the flight frequencies. I wonder will Airasia charge more for drink and meal for long haul flight?
