QUOTE(junecheah @ Oct 11 2016, 04:08 PM) I cant say much abt Malindo as I only tried Malindo to Penang. Have not tried their Intl Flights. Not quite sure what is provided. I go to Bangkok often and normally I do price comparison between AA and MAS. Hardly check Thai Airways pricing as they are always on the higher side. What I normally do is, check AA & MAS, if price different between AA & MAS is very significant, then I take AA. If not much, less than RM 100, i will opt for MAS. Sometimes AA may look cheap in their pricing, but dont forget you got add baggage,meals,seat, etc.. so it may add up to alot. But this round, Thai airways seem to be throwing price and RM 425 to me if acceptable, so will go for thai airways. as for insurance, i dont normally buy unless im taking long haul flights. But you can consider to buy if you are comfortable with.. If not wrong Malindo flight to Penang is via the small plane with propeller. I've sit on the new plane flying to Sabah before and it's damn good. Much better than AirAsia. A lot of space for your legroom. This post has been edited by Icehart: Oct 13 2016, 09:23 AM |
