Air Asia seats are a bit small and leg room may be less than other airlines but they are so, so cheap I just don't care about a little discomfort. I have done Melbourne-KL and the flight went ggreat. I brought a Subway sandwich on the plane. They don't even supply water, so bring some with you. If you are budget conscious (a frugal traveler), fly Air Asia! If money is no object, I would not fly it.

If you just stumbled upon the local travel section's article, then it was sheer luck. Nevertheless, I suppose timing is everything and you've snagged it.

Andrew (and Chris):

Just a heads-up that A.A. recently did start a sort of frequent flyer program, called "Air Asia Big". It isn't a great deal, but better than the nothing that they had until recently.

I just booked a trip from the states to HKG then onto the cheap flights through south Asia and onto Australia. Then still working on my return flight home.

true, but Air Asia has little to no legroom, very uncomfortable for an hour flight, can't imagine long haul. Plus do they serve food on long haul? Lastly, no mileage accrual.

Impressive way to enjoy 3 destinations for a reasonable amount of money to get to Australia.
