Should be running "from March". with fares from RM1,200 return (US$370 - must be ex taxes and surcharges?), probably to Stansted, initally 5x/week (building up to twice daily) with an A340.

Still a while to go then, which is a pity now that Oasis is no longer around. I may try them next year, maybe fly to Europe on AirAsiaX, and fly back shorthaul through Turkey, Middle East, India. That would also have the added benefit of avoiding the UK's longhaul taxes.

I'm not really sure whay he means by " the rest would be economy seats but will be bigger". Bigger in which way? Surely they're going to cram as many seats into economy as possible to get fares as low as $370 return, even if that does exclude tax. |
