Finding A Reason to Travel

[Slightly attractive price, interesting destination]
Spotted an interesting fare - round trip from Singapore to Billund, Denmark going as low as SGD724.40/RM2,385 on Air France official website. We regarded it as interesting, not because of the rate but a rare destination to fall within that price.

Be mindful that it is a “light” fare. Nowadays there are quite a number of full service airlines offering a no-frills class to compete against LCCs. If you are fine with packing under 12kg for a winter trip, this can really be an affordable opportunity to visit Scandinavia! 🇩🇰

Happy FARTing! 🤓

[Just some random catches]
Not sure if any bloggers have posted this, but AirArabia has got some really good one-way deals that return to Kuala Lumpur. For example:
Doha to KL cost only RM498
Muscat to KL cost only RM551 (OTA)
Amman to KL cost only RM547 (OTA)
Cairo to KL cost only RM614 (OTA)

Very limited dates, likely the deal has lasted a few days.

Another deal that we saw is a round trip from Singapore to Osaka and back, costing just RM798 on Trip OTA. I know what chu gonna ask, the answer is no… departing from KUL on the same dates cost significantly more. 🙂‍↕️ what happened 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Anyway, Merry belated Christmas (if that’s the right way to say it 🤓) Happy FARTing! 🥰😘

[🚨 One-way to London, bug?]
Here’s an early Christmas gift - A one-way ticket to London could be seen going at RM421 only on 24/25 December at multiple OTA platforms like Mytrip, Gotogate and Flight Network. The journey involves flying to Male first via AirAsia, then flies to Dubai via Flydubai and eventually the highlight - fly on Emirates’ A380 to London!

At this price, you really shouldn’t have an issue chilling at the Christmas market or play with snow with an open jaw ticket budget of RM2k, hohoho.

Happy FARTing! 🥰🎄🎅🏼

[ex-SIN Barcelona deal]
While Saudia officials are selling it at RM2.7k, we found the same round trip going from Singapore to Barcelona and back, priced just a pinch higher than SGD600/RM1999, in early February 2025 on Trip OTA!

This is a rare opportunity even when comparing with the current ex-KUL EU deals we see, and more so considering that it’s departing from the tax-heavy Changi Airport.

Now, if you usually book accommodations on Booking.com, we have a good news for you. On 18 December, Shopback users will be able to earn 12-13% cashback on accommodation bookings on Booking OTA. On top of that, using our custom code SBFARTBCOM, you could add an additional 2% bonus cashback, earning a max of 15% from 12AM-2AM! 😂 (Do note that this promotion is only applicable to ShopBack Malaysia’s users)

Set your alarm and book here when the time comes: https://app.shopback.com/challenge?code=SBFARTBCOM

Happy FARTing folks! 🥰🎄🤶

[Say hi to EK's multi-city deals again 😎]
Emirates is using its price to remind y'all to start shopping for your next EU trip. Using the same open-jaw construction method, one can get the KUL-LON, IST-KUL in Q3 next year at a fantastic RM2,297. If you're keen, you could opt to have all our flights done on A380, and you could also opt to stopover at Dubai for more than 24 hours.

If Istanbul is too far as the departure point of our inbound segment, consider some of these alternatives that in the 2.5-2.6k region, in total:
Zurich (ZRH) RM2,585
Paris (CDG) - RM2,617
Milan (MXP) RM2,639
Geneva (GVA) RM2,672
Madrid (MAD) - RM2,673

Happy FARTing!! 🥰

[One way Milan deal Pt2]
Continuing on our one way Xmas deal post, those who find themselves easier to position to Bangkok can enjoy slightly more discount flying one way to Milan (starting from RM722) and Budapest (starting from RM809).

Same airline, equally challenging flight duration, unless you love flying (or have a metal butt) 😂

Happy FARTing! 🥰

[One-way Milan deal]
A one-way ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Milan by the full service China Eastern Airlines is surprisingly priced only at RM833 on 11 Dec on Trip OTA - a price attractive enough to get us question the prices of LCCs 🫣

Such is a good alternative to those looking to mix and match itinerary and have time freedom this month.

Happy FARTing! 🥳

[Hola Emirates’ Baltic deals + 6% cashback on flights!?]
This shouldn’t be something new to our long term followers. When it comes to Baltic destinations, nobody does more generously than our UAE powerhouse - Emirates.

Till today, one could still find round trip tickets going from Kuala Lumpur to Riga/Vilnius and back in the region of RM2.2-2.4k. Huge availability in Q2-Q4 2025.

Now, do yourself a favor and punch those details onto Trip OTA. The lowest we saw for those destinations is RM2,170 only! If you are a Shopback user, then here’s another piece of first hand info - on the 13th Dec 2024, any flight purchases made on Trip through Shopback will enjoy a 6% cashback 😎😎

Set your alarm and book your tickets here for the deeeep discount 👉🏻 https://app.shopback.com/challenge?code=FARTSB12

[Istanbul in Xmas season]
Probably not very appealing to some, but putting it here just so you guys know that there’s still an affordable option to travel Istanbul in the last week of this month. 🎄🎅🏼

A round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Istanbul can be had at RM1775 only on OTA thanks to China Southern Airlines. Full service offerings.

By default when you browse the price calendar you would only see such prices in January 2025. But don’t be fooled - insist to pick a departure date in December and you will likely see the same price.

Happy FARTing! 🥰

[Long time no see]
After having a looooong sabbatical leave, admin is finally back clearing messages and posting deals again 🫣

To start off, here’s an apology gift for being away without prior notice - a round trip flight from Kuala Lumpur to Barcelona, on Cathay Pacific 🔥🔥🔥 going as low as RM2,342 only. Full service offerings.

What, you don’t like flying to the southwest of Europe? What about Northwest, cause you could get a round trip to Dublin on Etihad as low as RM2,129 only on Trip OTA. Full service offerings too.

Happy to see you all and happy FARTing! 🫶🏻

[Random SV deals for SGeans]
Kudos to brother Setia Hati Wicaksana for sharing some great open-jaw Middle East deals intel this afternoon.

Out of all shared routes, our favourite goes to the SIN-Cairo (CAI), Alexandria (HBE)-SIN, which only cost RM1,705/SGD515 on Trip OTA. Full service offering.

Later, we played with SV a little and found that a standard round trip to Barcelona in end of the month could be obtained as low as RM2123/SGD640.

Direct flights to Jeddah probably cost more than these 😂 interested folks can research more on Saudia Stopover visa to see how to travel two continents with a ticket.

Happy FARTing! ☺️

[TK deal is back + a money saving tip]
Everytime bloggers (us included 🤪) post flight deals involving London, 80% of the time it’s 🛫 into 🇬🇧, 🛫out of ❌🇬🇧.

Well, first, a good news for those wanting to travel UK only - we spotted a few less reputable OTAs pricing Turkish Airlines’ KUL-London (LHR), London (LGW)-KUL round trip going as low as RM2,160 only 😎 all you need is do a bit of digging yourself and you should be able to find it easily.

[Direct flight to South Africa 🇿🇦]
The last time Saudia had a frenzy sale, they sold their round trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johannesburg around RM2k.

If you are looking for such a deal now, then the Singapore Airlines’ non-stop round trip from Singapore to Johannesburg at RM2,561/SGD774 should be enticing for you! 😎😎 such price can be found from Apr 2025 onward.

Shhh… Officials are selling it RM1000+ more 🤫

[🚨Business/First class to Saudi at Econs rate]
Kuwait Airways have some really undervalued round trip fares from Bangkok to Jeddah next year March.

Economy class fare starts at THB9200 (~RM1,196)
Business class fare starts at THB19,215 (~RM2498)
First class fare starts at THB22,035 (~RM2865)

Bug works for ex-Guangzhou too.

OTA could price them lower, but we will leave it to you to decide if the reward is worth the risk.

Big credits to Muhammad Shazwan Bin Safiee for spilling the tea!

[UPDATE]
We tweaked a bit more and found that CAN-JED, KWI-CAN can be done at RM1,439 (Business) and RM1,714 (First).

Happy FARTing! 😊

[Maldives at RM250+-?]
Credits to Ammirur Rasyid for finding such a great deal!

Traveloka is pricing a round trip from KUL-Maldives as low as RM258 only. Dates of such price can be found in the screenshot. Anyone manage to grab it?

[Another 5-star airline entering the price battlezone?]
We seldom feature Cathay Pacific due to their premium fares. But today, we are delighted to spot some interesting fares from them, and we are guessing this probably is done in response to the recent drop in market rates for MY-EU flights (we are back in the season of affordable EU travels!)

On Trip OTA, one could purchase a round trip ticket that flies from Kuala Lumpur to:
Milan starting at RM2,317
Madrid starting at RM2,386
Zurich starting at RM2,419
Officials are selling at a few hundred more.

Travel period: Q4 2024

Rejoice folks! One more premium airline as an option!

Happy FARTing!
