Just booked SYD-KUL-SYD for September. Only drama is I'm hesitant to book ground arrangements until the required approval for the flights is given, but I'd imagine if they're selling tickets it should be a pretty safe bet?
Booking process was easy, not JQ-like website dramas. And, for once, it actually launched right on midnight!
Did I miss it or was there nothing on offer out of Perth as usual?
You know that bloody JQi codeshare on the QF jumbo (SYD-PER) stuffs up my QF OLCI senses... Just when you think you are on an empty flight at T-24, along comes all the "riff raff" to invade what you had thought would be a pleasant experience.
Seriously though, besides HNL, how is JQi going to sell PER cheap fares, when it has to route you via the east coast to Asia?!?!
P.S. The only fares that are reasonable in this offer [from SYD], are to KUL, on special again due to poor pre-sales?! In my estimation, KUL was JQi's first attempt to "up" their launch fare pricing strategy (compared to HKT, BKK), and it has not been successful - yay!

Just fly Tiger. It is surely cheap enough already!

I'd suspect the same with KL. They launched with fairly high fares and didn't exactly pull people in. Add to that the fact that Malaysia attracts not even close to the number of leisure travellers that Thailand does.
Hopefully these cheaper fares have upped sales a bit, with my luck they'll cancel the service the day after I book my ground arrangements!
Honestly speaking I don't understand why JQ limit recent 2 sales (the bring a friend + $3 & the current A$199 sales) on KUL route for ex. australia pax only. During their Syd-Kul launched on Jan, the lauched fare (A$250nett OW) was offered for both ex. Syd & ex. KUL pax. However subsequent sales on this route has been limit to ex. australia pax only. Honestly speaking the only marketing campaign they did in Malaysia is the official press release to the local media on January and went quiet since then.
Frankly speaking if they're really serious on filling up the seats on this route, they got to be serious and start selling & have the marketing campaign like true LCC carriers.
