1. Malindo Air Sale for Jan-April 2018
Malaysia based Malindo air is running a sale right now, still valid for next few days, with very tempting fares to various destinations in South East Asia. Example- Chennai-Bali for about INR 15000. Unlike Air Asia or Scoot, Malindo's fare includes 30 kg baggage, meals and even WiFi (select flights), so it is a great deal even if their price expensive by a small margin compared to ultra low cost rivals. Jan to April is also a good time to travel in South East asia- not very hot, not too cold. Check available deals and book your travel. Read full post here for all the details
