To have a good comparison of how Air Asia airfares fare, I made some comparison with the competitors. These are prices by major commercial airlines and prices includes taxes and fuel surcharges (prices are in THB Thai Baht). The front fare is One Way and the other is Return Fare:
Garuda Indonesia Airlines - GA via Jakarta 10,900 13,000 5 days Depart Bangkok within 31 Mar 11
via Jakarta 10,900 17,500 10 days Depart Bangkok within 31 Mar 11
Malaysia Airlines - MH via KL 9,200 16,000 1 month
via KL 9,200 14,800 1 month/GV2 Min 2 paxs travel, rate per person
Singapore Airlines - SQ via Singapore 12,200 15,200 1 month minimum stay 5 days
via Singapore 12,200 16,500 1 month no minimum stay required
Thai Airways - TG Direct flight 17,900 16,100 1 month/low/GV2 Min 2 paxs depart 03Jan-09Apr, 14Apr-30Jun,01Oct-25Dec
Direct flight 17,900 18,100 1 month/high/GV2 Min 2 paxs depart 10-13Apr, 26Dec-02Jan, Jul,Aug,Sep
Direct flight 17,900 18,600 3 month/low depart 03Jan-09Apr, 14Apr-30Jun,01Oct-25Dec
Direct flight 17,900 19,600 3 month/high depart 10-13Apr, 26Dec-02Jan, Jul,Aug,Sep
Direct flight 17,900 22,600 6 months/low depart 03Jan-09Apr, 14Apr-30Jun,01Oct-25Dec
Direct flight 17,900 25,200 6 months/high depart 10-13Apr, 26Dec-02Jan, Jul,Aug,Sep
On average the price is over 13500 Baht for a return flight. The lowest price by Garuda goes via Jakarta and has a absurd limit of 5 days duration.
So Air Asia still is unbeatable. Current prices without those discounts are hovering around 7000 Baht for a return flight.
