:'(

A decision had been made

I booked 15 seats on AirAsia to Perth, May 2011. Each costs not more than RM1200. I paid deposit of RM150 each.

It'll be a 'flying' month.
First, Sabah trip: KL>Labuan, KK>Sandakan, Sandakan>KK, KK>KL (within 14 -19 May 2011)
Then, Perth trip: KL>Perth, Perth>KL (20-26 May 2011)

It'll b a crazy May 2011, but will be the last from my before-working chapter in life.

U may think that i booked the perth flights way too early in advanced, but just to justify my reasons for tat.
1. AirAsia flight fare goes up very rapidly. I book to secure the price. U must know tat we dont have additional fund.
2. If you were to grab the promo fares, the only option is online booking. For 15 seats, will take 2 transactions. And anyone should know airasia promo fares only available to limited seats. Is 15 a lot? Dont ask me, I dunno.
3. Online booking requires full payment. Do we have sufficient fund already?
4. Online booking requires full guest details. Do we have the list already? Nope. How many of u still do not have passport? Ask urself.
5. I just have lots of reasons to defend myself. I dun wanna give more. :'(

U can nail me as stupid. U r definitely not the 1st. N u know y i hate making decisions!

MY ASSUMPTION 1:
If AirAsia offers 10% seat of each flight for promotion fares, meaning in every promotion they offer, only these 10% will be entitled for promotion fares. Once these 10% seats are grabbed regardless of which promotion being offered, other seats will be charged on the regular price.
"If 5% seats are sold in promo A, only 5% seats are available for promo B. If 3% seats are sold in promo B, only 2% seats are available for promo C. If in promo C no one bought any seats, 2% seats will be available for promo D. If 2% seats are sold in promo D, no more promotion price seats will be offered for that particular flight. Even if they offer promo E,F,G, promotion price will not be applicable."
MY ASSUMPTION 2:
AirAsia promotions are tricky. 1st+2nd day: Very cheap or as advertised, 3rd day onwards: Promo price no longer applicable. Although booking period has not ended.
Are my assumptions correct? Let's check it out in the next promotion. 

Current online price for KL>Perth, 20th May 2011, Perth>KL, 26th May 2011: MYR1087
