Air Asia Sales is hot topic in facebook now and I saw everyone was posting like:"Yeah finally i booked ticket to Bali" or "WTF? Why I cant access to Air Asia?" and this funny status: "FOREVER waiting room, and i can feel that the room is very big but very sempit, and the door is very small." from Cai Cai. I received call and few facebook messages from friends yesterday to ask me how to book ticket in Air Asia and details about it. Since I am free I will share my own experience on booking ticket.
1. Always alert with Air Asia Free Seat/Big Sales/ Zero Fair.
Follow Air Asia Facebook to get latest information. This year February I booked ticket to Hanoi (travel date: October) although it is not free seat/zero fair they still having sales that time. I think the sales on February is pretty good because it wont cause you into waiting room and wait till pek cek yet only have 10 minutes for booking.The ticket I booked to Hanoi was RM150(air fare) + RM90(tax),total was RM240 per pax.Yesterday I checked ticket to Hanoi on next year October, although the air fare only RM60 the tax was RM150 so total was RM210...Oh ya starting from 2011, Air Asia will charge fuel surcharge...yala still cheaper than February sales but depends on everyone. If you don't want to get mad with the problem of waiting room then I suggested you can go for February sales. I booked Hanoi ticket when I was at Miri and I thought everyone will squeeze into buying ticket but out of my expectation the booking process was so smooth..but everything has its black side, there is not much destinations you can choose to go as free seat/zero fair. For 10 cents sales, I also booked ticket to Bangkok because the airfare only RM0.20, yes it was RM0.20 believe you eyes..total was RM100.20 with tax included. I still don't get meaning of Free Seats because I thought the air fare would be free but friend booked to Bangkok costed RM 160 but still cheap till die.
2. Always confirm number of people going on travel before sales start.
Friends always complain to me that her/his friends said see first..see first whenever Air Asia got sales. See first always end up with nothing I tell you! So my suggestion is you guys can check the normal rate of ticket and estimate yourself the sale rate would be given and then set a budget that you can afford. And of course lastly set the month that you would like to go travel so during sales you no need to waste your time to ask one by one:"Eh, you want to go Taiwan?" For me, I think 2 or 4 people will be the best to travel.4 people is best to share taxi and 2 suitable for couple traveling.Honestly I don't like group of people to travel together especially when u have 10 people.We said 10 people 10 mouth..a bit hard to reach the balance especially when you guys plan together for accommodation,transport and tour.
3. Always check the place you going to travel is peak/low season.
If you want to travel in Malaysia there is no season for you and you can travel anytime except Kelantan and Terengganu.Many people like to go Bali and Taiwan so I list out the best travel period for this 2 countries. For Bali, January until March and October until December is wet season while April until September is dry season.June until September is most suitable time to travel to Bali.For Taiwan, I traveled to there before on November and it was winter season. The weather was cold but it was most comfortable season for traveling. Actually Taiwan is year round destination but I dislike summer because it is hot! Living in Malaysia for 20 years still go to a hot place definitely not my choice unless there is something attract me.However, for ladies if go within winter season then you are hard to get clothes because they all selling winter clothes.
Survey the place's weather before you want to book ticket because sometimes tickets are cheap in low season but what if you need to face typhoon,monsoon?Peak season has its disadvantages, hotel price increased and flooded with tourist then everything will become more expensive.I booked ticket to Bangkok on March and it is super hot and peak season..I am self-contradictory as I mention i hate summer but now I am going to bangkok which is hotter than Malaysia!
Ok, I guess you guys must read until almost fall asleep..there is much to share but I guess tonight only write the part 2. I used like 1 hour to write this post so give me some response la..I mean some comments else I will hate you guys.
