You'd want to be careful that you're viewing the same price package when doing this. For example, when displaying a ticket price in Australia, it must be an all-inclusive price - including all airport fees, surcharges, and everything else. Viewing the same ticket from, say, Japan, it might appear cheaper but it doesn't have those same inclusions, and when you add them all back in it comes out pretty similar.
That said, I always buy my air asia flights in malaysian ringgits - it's always cheaper than AUD.
- jzwinck 12y agoOne reason why Air Asia is cheaper in MYR is because it's a Malaysian company, so they don't take foreign exchange risk nor pay bank fees when selling to you in ringgit. For even more fun, try buying KTM (Malaysian rail) tickets in MYR vs. e.g. SGD. They will charge you the same numeric price, ignoring the exchange rate of about 2.5:1. This works much the same as the airlines pricing by sales region.
