cheers to that. By some FFers logic, a completely free flight in business shouldn't show up on this board if it doesn't acrrue miles. If the purpose of MR's is to earn miles for free flights, I think it is refreshing to sometimes skip the step and move right to the free flights 
Why so picky with MR fourm? Wasn't the Hertz LHR deal in MR last year, as it should?
When did this "settled debate occur"?
Its this kind of rational-- irrationality that leads to so many fourms with no posting of importance like the hotel and rental car fourms....

Why not?
Why can't there be just a simple "HOT DEALS" forum for all the hot deals: MRs, budget fares, supposed premium fares, misc. Avis/Budget/Hertz deals etc...as proposed on the previous post, similar to fatwallet/slickdeals. It's not as if there other postings unrelated to travel accomodations on this site. There really is no reason to have so many posts peppered around the site. Hope this sparks some changes.

I booked two tickets KUL-PEN for a total of MYR101(~US$30.00), but BKK-CNX and BKK-CEI did not pull the promo prices.
Anyone able to book a "zero fare" other than to/from KUL?

their servers are a bit loaded but the fares are out there. Found some dates in May for HKG-KUL at $0++
Hiyo, BKK -> CGK r/t came right up for me, mid-week dates in may. Weekend dates are scarce.
3750 baht, or about $115 r/t... not so bad.

You are correct, sir. I found BKK-CEI/CNX still pulling the promo fares on scattered dates in May, but nothing left for the range of dates I can use in July.

Air Asia flights do not - apart from perhaps 1 mile per dollar/pound with your credit card. But nobody is posting great deals for buying groceries with your airline-mile earning credit card.
That said - its great to get a heads-up when these kind of deals come along, I will have to keep checking the budget travel forum.

Just looking at some loads from Seat Selector on MEL-KUL and some flights are more than half full, and not everyone picks their seats
Looks like D7 have a big winner on their hands here...

Quite true. I didn't have Air Asia to do it on at the time, but once booked flights from SE Asia to PER to be able to do a UA award on NZ out to the South Pacific and back for 20K miles.
