Free flights to Bali?

[PSI 304]

Anyone else heard about this? Heard on the grape vine Air Asia offering free flights to bali if you book this week for travel between 1st July and 10th November 2011 only having to pay airport taxes.

Thinkin book flights now, worry about accommodation later. Just wondering how on earth you would book these flights? Been on air asia website and any flights i search come up at $110 flights plus taxes

not all flights between those dates will be free, only a select number, how you find out which ones they are i dont know, id have to look into it, but some friends did manage to book some free flights.

According to Wikitravel;


The most significant season of the year is the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan. During its 30 days, devout Muslims refrain from passing anything through their lips (food, drink, smoke) between sunrise and sunset. People get up early to stuff themselves before sunrise (sahur), go to work late, and take off early to get back home in time to break fast (buka puasa) at sunset. Non-Muslims, as well as Muslims travelling (musafir), are exempt from fasting but it is polite to refrain from eating or drinking in public. Many restaurants close during the day and those that stay open (e.g., hotel restaurants) maintain a low profile, with curtains covering the windows. During Ramadhan, all forms of nightlife including bars, nightclubs, karaoke and massage parlours close by midnight, and (especially in more devout areas) quite a few opt to stay closed entirely. Business travellers will notice that things move at an even more glacial pace than usual and, especially towards the end of the month, many people will take leave.
The climax at the end of the month is the two days of Idul Fitri (also known as Lebaran), when pretty much the entire country takes a week or two off to head back home to visit family in a ritual known locally as mudik, meaning going home. This is the one time of the year when Jakarta has no traffic jams, but the rest of the country does, with all forms of transport packed to the gills. All government offices (including embassies) and many businesses close for a week or even two, and travelling around Indonesia is best avoided if at all possible.

Bali has Hindu majority only a small minority are Muslim so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Btw I spent a week in Malaysia over Ramadhan this year no hassles other than overhearing a pretty disturbing incident from our Saudi Arabian neighbors suite and as a result having to move rooms at 2am.
