Yea it's nothing in between, just that it's two seaters nearer to the back of the plane, instead of 3.

I fly KL-GuangZhou on promotion around RM400, cheapest also RM300+ like that la.
Expensive depends on how you see it, are you comparing with MAS and other full service airlines or just among Airasia tickets?

Just among Airasia tickets I guess.

I think its expensive.

You should try this when googling.

Go to www.google.com & key in 'Direct Flights from KUL to Guangzhou Direct'.

The search will come out with a + button and you can click on the + button to see which other airline flies direct. If there aren't any direct flights then this search will not have the + button.

At least you know which other airline flies direct and can look at the pricing for comparison. FYI, those airline that flies from Europe/middle east to KUL and then heading elsewhere, will always be cheaper.

For eg refer below.

^^ thanks for sharing. pretty cool

Welcome.

I also just found out of this cool google result maybe just a month or 2 ago only.

Under one booking of 3 passengers (family members). Air Asia auto seat allocation intentionally separate one of us at row 26 and the remaining two at row 12.

Why the result write RM88 only? Where got so cheap ah?

That one not the price la. If not mistaken it's flight number.

Edited to add:

Confirm it's flight number. Refer pic below.

Just pay extra to buy your seats.

AA sure like you alot because you are such a good consumer. Don't mind being squeezed by AA and pay for someting your are supposely entitled foc.
Anyway, I didn't pay extra for it. The baggage drop counter staff, upgraded our 3 seats to priority red seats A,B and C after I brought up the problem to him.

You have to remember that AA is a low cost airline, of course all the freebies that you get from a full commercial airline have to pay.

BTW, scared to sit on your own is it?

The only reason why I seat with family
Members is they will pay for my stuff.

Otherwise I don't see the point as I will either be sleeping or playing my iPod.

Heard that AirAsia is planning to fly to South Africa, Kenya or Egypt soon. Hope it happens fast as it will push other airlines to lower prices.

Wow not bad. Was wondering when they are flying to USA or Canada or other parts of Europe.

Until then, will have no choice but to take full commercial airline as I'm too lazy to run from 1 airport to another airport.

Oh...you like to sit quietly beside a stranger far away from your hubby/bf or your loved one is it ? my bad, I didn't know your preference and that's bad for AA

Perhaps you didn't read my post properly.
This is about ethical business practice. When you book 3 seats under ONE (1) booking, Ethically, AA should allocate the seats closest possible. But AA's automatic seat allocation system intentionally or unintentionally break up the seats several rows away to force passenger to pay for togetherness. ( It is still ok if it is just 1 row behind)

As for the AA is a low cost airline....not totally true. For example all in return airfare to London in mid November is more expensive than MAS as at today booking.
Services like extra luggage weight, priority red seats ets ets ..need to pay no doubt about it. But getting paid unethically by breaking out the seats under one booking is not right.

I highlighted the issue here so that more passengers will voice out their complains to the ground staff and subsequently AA can take corrective measures to improve and to be a better passenger friendly airline.


So... I guess you also have no issue with the impending July price hike by Astro huh ?

Well like monkeyflo has explained, it is not intentionally.

You have to understand that you are not the only booking 3 seats under 1 booking. There are many twin and triple seats under 1 booking hence you MIGHT be separated when you check in. Plus most probably alot of those twin and triple seats under 1 booking - they paid for their seats already.

It goes the same with full commercial airline. If check in early (for both full commercial & low cost airline), then the probability to be seated together is much higher.

And no, I don't care if my BF sits like 10 rows away or I'm sitting next to a stranger. Nothing wrong with that.

Well, AA offers low pricing at only a few seats. MAS also what. If they are offering ALL seats at that price - then bankrupt la? It's for those first come first pay hence getting the ticket. If you think MAS is cheaper then can book MAS, didn't say you should.

No, I have no issues of Astro hiking the price. U also want salary increment right? If dun like the price, I will just cancel la. No big deal.

i wanna go!!!

I can't agree with your logic above. Upon my request to change the seats at the AA counter ground staff, their apologized for the error and gave me the the same row A,B and C. They have ample seats and the flight was not full.
Maybe you are a rich girl and don't mind paying for whatever is right or wrong. Average people fighting for their rights to save money are regarded as calculative and nuisance.

No I am not rich. I just am very good with financial planning & execution only.

Well I am glad you get your row of seats & the staff apologize for their error.
