KUL-SYD axed Oct 25: full refund, 730-day credit, or last move flight by Oct 24.

AirAsia is suspending its Kuala Lumpur–Sydney service from 25 October 2026, citing network optimisation and widebody retirement. The route currently runs four flights per week; if you hold a booking, you have three options: a full refund to the original payment method, a credit account valid for 730 days (requires an AirAsia MOVE account), or a one-time free flight change to a date before 24 October 2026 on the same route, pending seat availability. No compensation or re-accommodation is offered for missed connections, hotels, or other costs.

the play

If you booked directly through AirAsia, pick one option before 25 October 2026 — either grab a full refund or take the 730-day credit — but note the move-flight option requires a date before the 24th.

Trip.com deal: 17.5% cashback is solid, but past rates hit 36.5%.

Capital One Shopping and Offers are running a deal on Trip.com today (September 9) with up to 17.5% cashback or 17X miles on hotel, lodging, and car rental bookings. Flights earn 3.5%/3X, and other categories like tours or transfers earn 2.5%/2X. Rates are targeted, so you may see higher offers. The cashback from Capital One Shopping is redeemable only for gift cards, not cash. This is a decent return, but note that past deals (like in March) offered up to 36.5% for hotels, so this is a step down. The deal expires today.

Log into your Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers accounts, check your targeted rates for Trip.com, and book any eligible travel before the September 9 deadline.

Don't book on TopCashback's 16% Klook rate until you read the fine print.

TopCashback has boosted rates across IHG, Radisson, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Expedia and more, but the 'up to' qualifiers change the deal. Viator's 15% is only for new customers, while existing customers earn 10%. Expedia's 10% applies only to new customers booking activities, with existing customers seeing 5%-8% for other travel. IHG's 12% is limited to Iberostar, though all IHG brands earn 10%. No expiry is listed, so compare rates on Cashback Monitor or Savewise before committing.

Check the 'up to' terms on each rate, then compare on Cashback Monitor before booking.
