Low cost Malaysian-based carrier Air Asia has just released half a million free seats covering most of its destinations. By “free” they mean that you don’t pay for the seat, but do pay for the additional taxes and surcharges. While these add-ons can make a major difference to air fares, at least in Air Asia’s case they no longer have any fuel surcharge.

Air Asia plane The seats are on sale from 10 - 15 February, for travel between 12 October 2009 and 31 January 2010.

By the end of the first day of the sale, many of the free seats had been snapped up. Routes such as Gold Coast (Australia) to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) sold out quickly, which is not surprising given that the return trip cost a total of A$130 inclusive of 15kg baggage allowance and a meal!

There were however many flights within the South East Asian region still up for grabs. Further details are available on their website: www.airasia.com
