AirAsia’s Exclusive Sale For Facebook Fans

I think this could qualify as an epic fail! AirAsia originally asked their fans to watch out on Facebook at 1500hrs 1st April for their exclusive airfare sale exclusive for their fans only.

After the 1st timing had come and gone, and after many angry fans’ comments, AirAsia then promised to send a FB Update on April 2, 0001hrs.

What an unintentional April Fool’s joke eh? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Well, I shouldn’t have stayed awake. But I have to finish my job and bring you the best air ticket deals. The 2nd timing came and gone but still no special deals! You can imagine the fury of the now livid crowd.

After almost an hour, AirAsia finally decided to post their promo link on their FB wall. It was… a disappointment for most. From Singapore, only these 2 destinations were on sale: Bali & Langkawi.

We’re sorry we couldn’t compare the deals as we promised in the earlier post. There weren’t any same destinations flights to compare.

We did check out the flight to Bali. A return airfare will cost $70, with taxes and extra charges included, but excluding the luggage charges. So final price could be $80-90.

Oh, and it’s not “exclusive” too. Just click this link to book.

All these Facebook promos by these 2 budget airlines leave a bad taste in my mouth. They are more like publicity stunts than real deals. So the next time these 2 have a FB promo, don’t expect too much. In fact, expect mistakes and delays!
