What do people here think of long haul travel on budget airlines?
I was a bit apprensive about flying JetStar to Osaka but it was great. We bought food from the airport, bought drinks and snacks on board and it's $10 to hire a dvd player.
It was a bit annoying that Oz was so remote and travelling was so pricey unlike Europe or Asia, where you can get flights that you only have to pay for the tax component, but now with these budget airlines making it so affordable....it's just perfect.
We just booked flights with AirAsia from GC to KL for $909 rtn for 3 people! The special is valid from May to Oct. Will probably head to Langkawi and Hanoi for another $250! so cheap
Air Asia plans to fly KL to Manchester on possible Stanstead or Gatwick next year so in future it will be possible to go to UK for less than $800k pp inc taxes. We paid $4k for 2 adults and an infant last year...soo expensive.
Has anyone scored some great deals recently?
My friends got tickets Sydney to GC with Jetstar for $3 one way in their recent special...cost $24 all up for a family of 4!!!
A colleague spent just over $2kpp for flights to Phuket and 10 nights accommodation twine share so over $4k all up for her and her bf....with budget you could do it for less than half the price.
Air Asia's GC to KL $300 KL to Phuket $100 10 nights 4 start hotel $800 =$1200 and plenty of $$ left over for shopping and tours and even another holiday. Could also stop in KL for a few days.
