Air Asia: Cheap Flights!

Today's weather: High = 5 Low = 0

Looks like all flights are confirmed for the upcoming Spring Festival trip. I'm really excited about this one, it's gonna be a long-anticipated bike trip in 3 of my favorite SE Asian countries. Part of it will be replicating a ride from the famous Mr Pumpy, and the other is a ride I created myself -- the whole thing will be surely blogged

As expected, booking cheap Air Asia flights within the Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia network was a cakewalk. It truly is the flights to and from mainland China that cost a fortune, due to the reasons mentioned in the last post. Having nailed those flights first, that was the hard work done. The rest was just filling in the gaps. The cheapest flight I got only cost about 250 RMB, in other words, less than $50.

More details to come shortly on this trip. Basically it'll involve parts of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia (east Java and Bali). The original plan was to head for India again, but last year's experience proved that 3 weeks was too short, and it's not worth all the time, hassle, and money to get a visa.

Will put India on hold until the summer, then.
