But dont worry there's alternative
We know that airasia .. valuair... giving cheap air ticket, but sometimes you need to look beyond that ... consider other options to get a cheap air ticket .. well even sometimes you can get a cheap air ticket from BIG name airlines such us Garuda or even Singapore Airlines.
For me, before I go to budget ticket usually I'll:
1. Go to air ticket agency, send them what you want..
2. Go to zuji.com.sg (look for the final price after tax)-
choose flight only, tick the flexible date option
3. Go to asiatravel.com (look for the final price after tax)
choose flight only, tick the flexible date option
4. Search for budget airline (airasia, valuair, tiger) - tiger is my last preference because there's many add on on top of the price displayed. Airasia come with "convenient mode" which actually ask you to pay extra for using credit card and make sure you untick the insurance...
Often time I get a cheap and non budget flight ... such as Garuda for only S$200 which I consider cheap because the budget airline sometimes is similiar / even more expensive if they don't have promotion.
So happy hunting ... remember to compare all the prices and when you get the cheapest just buy it away because the prices it's always changing and the sit is limited.
For your info, I have bought from both of the online travel agent (zuji and asiatravel) and there's no problem when I use their air ticket on te day... so rest assure they are not a fake :)
