AirAsia today kicked off a network-wide promotion offering up to 99 percent off base fares on flights booked by 1 March 2026 for travel between 1 June 2026 and 27 March 2027. The sale covers both short-haul AirAsia (AK) and long-haul AirAsia X (D7) services, notably including recently announced Kuala Lumpur–Sydney and Kuala Lumpur–Melbourne flights scheduled to restart in July.
With Southeast Asian demand rebounding, the ultra-low-cost carrier is aiming to capture holiday and VFR traffic ahead of the Northern summer peak—and to lure price-sensitive business travellers who mix remote work with leisure. Sub-A$120 one-way fares ex-Australia are already visible in GDSs, though travellers must pay extra for baggage and seat selection.
Before locking in those bargains, travellers should also confirm entry requirements. VisaHQ’s Australia portal (https://www.visahq.com/australia/) lets passengers check and secure Malaysian or onward destination visas quickly online, ensuring paperwork doesn’t trip up a rock-bottom fare.

Travel buyers should scrutinise total trip cost: AirAsia’s unbundled model means ancillaries can add 40 % or more to the headline fare. Additionally, Australian Consumer Law requires that the final price be displayed upfront for corporate card transactions.
The promotion intensifies competition on the Kangaroo off-shoot routes just as Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air ramp capacity. Perth—included in the sale—will see up to 13 weekly AirAsia flights this winter, offering wider connection options for resource-sector commuters.
Agents should book quickly; AirAsia typically releases only a limited bucket of ultra-low fares per flight. Fare conditions require full payment at time of booking and prohibit itinerary changes without a fee that can exceed the ticket price.
