Air Asia Promos in Thailand
 

Hi Folks,

Does Air Asia have any promo fare offers for ticketing anytime in Sept / Oct for travel in Dec ?
Wanted to check out cheap tickets on the Bkk - HKT sector for Dec, and though chances of good offers are low, wanted to know if Air Asia launches some short sales around this period ?

Any past experience will give some sort of possibility ( however remote)..

I dont know about December, but I just booked 8 flights with them in November on their last sale (2 weeks ago I think) to be honest it WASNT as cheap as I saw the exact same flights in April, so the sale wasnt brilliant.

I will say that if you do see a sale with AirAsia BOOK IT FAST as their 'Promo' seats sell out insanely quickly.

And if your not used to their extra charges be prepared to add a good chunk extra for card payment fees etc.

yes, I recall the last sale was only 20% off from usual price.. so not such a big deal IMHO..

Yes 20% but if you were fast you got an extra 15% off as they (re)released the already discounted 'promo' fares. As I say, you have to be fast, they sold out in 3hrs on the flights I picked up. I was just lucky I checked them at midnight.

aha..
Hope to be able to catch them the next time..

In recent months and years, the booking windows for the really rock-bottom Air Asia sales seem to be going further and further out into the future. They might do a sale, for example, for travel dates fro 3 months to 6 months from now.

It used to be that you could be much closer to your date of travel and still get a deal, but that has become harder to do in recent years. The exception might be certain domestic routes in Thailand like BKK-UBP, as there's a real fight on for those. I prefer Nok Air there, though...not as bad a fee-ing frenzy.

You often see sales that are 8-10 months out! Who can plan THAT much in advance?

Yes, that's been my experience as well :(

But even close in, they tend to be cheaper than other legacy carriers.

Fly 'em all the time, but they p*ss me off w/all their 'nickel and diming'. I love how hard it is to unselect trip insurance and paying a 12% surcharge to use a credit or debit card. I wish I wasn't so d*mn cheap & could leave them forever.

Wow! Great deal! Is midnight usually the best time to get the extra?

Can anyone tell me the place of interest in BKK where we can visit.

Look up wikitravel.

The airport or the city ? :p
Depends on your interest. Maybe this can help

What's the best seat on an AirAsia plane?

For me, it's a 100B aisle seat rows 7, 8,or 9. I can get off the plane & through immigration quickly. If you check luggage or there is no immigration, row position isn't as important.
