Cheap airfares?

I’m a sucker for a cheap airfare! Anything that will get me to Philippines one more time makes my ears prick up. So Air Asia‘s current sales have me salivating like Pavlov’s dog! Under $300 return to Philippines if I’m prepared to fly via Kuala Lumpur.

There’s only one catch…

Their web site is so shockingly slow that it keeps timing out, falling over, collapsing, screaming, and kicking you back to the start! 2 hours to select and book a single return airfare to KL!! Hmm… I wonder what value to place on my time…

Also, beware of hidden costs – for example, no check-in baggage is allowed in the base price, or meals. But all are available as an extra cost option. And if you’d like to select your preferred seat, you’ll pay for that too. And of course, any changes will cost.

But for AUD$8 return between Malaysia and Philippines, it’s tempting…
