Thanks Putraskyline. I am yet to book the ticket and wanted to confirm this..Unfortunately the Malaysia Airlines website is unhelpful and does not have any information about this on the website. In any case, the support desk here should open in an hour's time. I will talk to them before taking a call.

For the benefit of others who may bump in here later from Google, here is the reply I got from Malaysian Airlines - non-refundable tickets are just that. No money will be returned, nor will be held for a future transaction. If you cancel the ticket, you lose the money. If you want an option to get ticket refunded, then the price of the ticket is up by almost $350 (for my sector at least: Bangalore-KL-Sydney and return ).

Even if you buy a refunded ticket, there is a catch. There is just a nominal cancellation fee of around $25 if I cancel before embarking on the journey. But if I have already taken the onward journey and then I'm forced to cancel the return leg alone, then the ticket is deemed non-refundable and no money shall be refunded.

I bought a cheap ticket with MAS to Bangkok during MAS promo. I wrote them a letter asking for refund & stated the reason why I can't go to the mentioned date. They reply my email within 2 weeks& agree to refund minus RM100 admin fee. Better than nothing.

anyone managed to get the rm56 fare?

Nope Few search and after that, I give up.

managed to grab Rm1.3k return from kl-tokyo for next month. about the same price as AA.

I also opt for MHInsure but not sure if Basic is just enough

Good deal!

You can actually opt out from MHInsure though and just get a full travel insurance package from one of the insurance company. I usually do that as it's not that much more expensive plus the ones that offered by insurance company covers the whole of your trip incl. the flight as well.

If not mistaken airline offered insurance only covers your flight.

i looked at the MHinsure guide here http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/content/da...ure_Feb2011.pdf

the medical,etc are included though unless i missing something

wow, RM3.8K? I got my KUL-LHR for only RM2.8K for July next year. Booked it a few days ago.

Oh, that's a good price then
Mine is just for one ticket. Consider good also compare to normal price RM3600++

Oh so sorry bout that. Thanks for the link.

Seems ok to me but usually whatever insurance co provide, will always be more than what airlines provide la.

I usually buy from AXA for the VIP coverage.

Oh cheap!! I keep asking myself if i should get the Frankfurt tix or not... as it's RM2.8k. However, when i checked on skyscanner, and if i buy thru expedia (Etihad), can get the same tix for RM2.3k but i hate transitting though!

too late i guess.

i found out skyscanner,etc don't include the promo price. skyscanner showing the normal price but i actually can get MHpromo price from MAS

Hi, I have a question here..

I booked my flight ticket and my passport almost want to expired already. I just key in the old passport number. Isn't ok for that? When I renew my passport, I need to call to MAS tell them I change new passport? or just bring old passport along during check in??

It's ok. Why not just key in your IC no if allowed? Otherwise just key in your old passport number and then manage booking once you have gotten the new passport.

If still cannot, call MAS hotline, they will change it for u thru the phone.

yup each time i'm travelling i also bought this MHinsure.

I just check for next year the price isn't cheap it's exactly like travel in october which is RM2800++ how you manage buy 3.8k for 2 adult and 1 child

cool.

any dealing experience with them before(well of course i hope not)?

hmm so far nop hahaha..

I've been trying to book on MAS's site for the past hour but I keep getting this error (when I click on Next after flights selection):

"Unfortunately system failed to verify your selection this time. Please try again."

Anyone encountered this?
