Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / October 2005Buying very cheap air tickets in Asia
The budget airlines have just began to take flight in Asia. To get the lowest ticket prices you have to be aware of the promotional offers available from each budget airline. I made a list of budget airlines and the places they operate in at my website. I'll be updating the this regularly with the latest promos. http://singaporetraveller.blogspot.com/2006/10/buying-cheap-air-tickets-in-asia.html > The budget airlines have just began to take flight in Asia. "just begun to take flight"? They've been around for years. miguel  SignatureHit The Road!

They've been around for years. Prices have plunged in the last two years. You can fly Bangkok to Chiang Mai for $12 on Air Asia. This is a really nice site. I live in SE Asia and have to fly every six months for visa renewal. He missed China Airlines to the USA, but had a bunch I didn't know about. >>> The budget airlines have just began to take flight in Asia. >> >> "just begun to take flight"?

Or at least I could. miguel SignatureHit The Road!

Or at least I could. Regardless of what is possible, a narrow sample of the AirAsia fares I compiled, shows that the medium fare is pretty close to $35-$40. It is a bargain price anyways. "Taxes and fees" which is a fixed portion of the total fare is 537 bahts and equals to about $13. > Regardless of what is possible, a narrow sample of the AirAsia fares I > compiled, shows that the medium fare is pretty close to $35-$40.

I fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai fairly often (5 or 6 times so far this year). Usually I find the Thai Airways walk-up fare is about $40, with AirAsia, Nok Air, and Orient Thai (One2Go) in the $25 range. Depends on the load though. miguel SignatureHit The Road!

Most likely it's a promotional fare only available for a few seats on each flight. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - 6000 photos from Asia, Africa and Europe "a" <alfred_molonREMOVE@yahoo.com> kirjoitti viestissä:MPG.1dc7195ee4b6bc8f98ad90@news.supernews.com... >> > > The budget airlines have just began to take flight in Asia. >> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I doubt $12 covers the cost of the airline for the flight.

However, in Europe too planes are stuffed with zillions of people who have bought these extraordinarily cheap tickets (there might be plenty of more than just one or two of them onboard). Three weeks ago I bought a return ticket from Tallinn to Berlin. For both directions the fare was 99 cents before taxes. The total was no more than 36.xx euros (includes a 6.5 euro "credit card fee", debit card users are exempted from this fee, just couldn't make mine to work at the airline's web shop). A return ticket from Berlin to Rome was merely 8 euros more expensive. The carrier is easyjet. |
