ok..i can agree with ts on this matter..

Last night, I was booking a flight.. KL-HK-KL..date 24 dec depart and 28 dec return..MAS had a offer..RM760 return except for blackout dates and other T&C..my date was a blackout date so had to get the tickets at normal price..

so everything done, i booked 2 tickets from RM2400 everything included..

then I saje2 went to Air Asia website and checked..i only went halfway through the booking process..meaning i picked the tickets date and reach the part where i had to choose luggage package..after I chose mine the (the RM30 package) the total was already at RM2600!!!

n I havent yet included the luggage package for the other passenger, the insurance, the seat choice..so I dont know how much it would have cost in the end..

just a simple comparison
MAS KL-HK = RM660
AA KL-HK = RM618

At first it looks cheap but when u add on all the shit MAS is more cheaper

I would go for MAS lor if flying from KL to HongKong. Atleast you can take A380. Cathay Pacific regional flight ok2 oni. Food is as good as MAS lor. some of the A340/A330 quite old leh. They oso use old 747 and if lucky can get B777 for this route. Their Long Haul is different story la.

yup..Im taking MAS this December..AA more expensive like shiat..

Now air asia is not paying for aerobridge fee.. Later when klia 2 open, they have to pay for some service that they didnt provide now.. I wonder if they will carge us for that.maybe increase admin fee

Guys..i was booking my tickets to HK on MAS..then the last part, they asked whether i want to choose seats or not..if i dont buy standard or premium seats, will i be separated from my partner? will MAS assign the seat randomly?
