Having left it too late to book a flight Brisbane-Bangkok prior to Christmas on our preferred mode of transport, Singapore Airlines, we were looking at paying around AUD$4,900 for a return flight for 2 adults & 1 child. Then a mate (Corvettelover on TD) booked us on Air Asia out of the Gold Coast to Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur for AUD$2,100. A huge saving ableit with a seven-hour layover in KUL on the way over.
Having never flown on a 'low-cost' airline, a few questions come to mind(apart from the obvious - Will we make it??).
Firstly, what are the in-flight facilities like? i.e. Do they feed you? Can you get a beer? Movies? Do you have to pay for food and drinks? Should we bring our own?
Secondly, has anyone ever flown into/out of KUL via the LCCT (low-cost carriers terminal) ? What's the duty-free shopping like in the LCCT? Do they have a good range of spirits & ciggies at reasonable prices?
