I am a bit bothered - just a teeny weeny bit - that I have not been able to find anything on Air Asia's current sale, nor anything from MATF. The prices aren't as cheap as before.
Hmpph. That's probably because I have a limited budget, haha, so I can't just pick and purchase just like that. There are a few dates but I am indecisive so that's that for now.
Anyway, did you know that AirAsia is almost strictly enforcing the one hand luggage policy this year? I said almost, because they are inconsistent. And if I may say so, discriminative toward those with backpacks because those with supposedly 'cabin-sized' luggage that are bigger and surely heavier are let through. Yes my backpack is rounder in shape but it is smaller than a cabin-size luggage okay? Otherwise, how can I lug it on my back? And how can you say that my Quarfie doesn't qualify as a handbag? Duh.
I've been travelling with this bag for every trip, except to Singapore last year. Where got big laaa....
And last week as I was scanning my backpack before leaving it at the Left Luggage Counter in LCCT, I overheard the airport security mentioning that Air Asia has increased their baggage fees. I only checked today and true enough; up to 15 kg the fee is now RM20.00 and THAT is the online discounted rate. Am I the only one who's just discovered this?
Yes Air Asia I've got a bone to pick with you.
Anyway, as irritated as I am right now, I will still fly with you, but only when you're cheaper :)
I'm quite surprised I haven't bought tickets during their current sale as well. I found cheap fares (well, cheap enough), but for some reason, I can't be bothered to buy. WHYYYY??
ReplyDeleteAnd damn, RM20 for only 15kilos? WOW.
Ohhh, I didn't notice. I think Air Asia is getting more expensive. I was mostly bothered to see that the airport tax to Standsted, London is now Rm500+ while it was only RM300+ last time. I gotta remind everyone that MAS flights can be suprisingly cheaper for certain dates and routes. They are worth checking out :-)
ReplyDeleteJIPP has a point there about MAS flights being cheaper. When I got back to KL from Jogjakarta recently, I flew MAS cause it was cheaper than AirAsia.
ReplyDeleteI guess MAS has come to realise that they can't make money unless they reduce their rates. And heck, price wars are good cause we consumers benefit the most!
I think the no-frills airlines have joined the bandwagon of the more established big guys. It's all about nickel-and-diming everyone now.
ReplyDeleteNina : Why oh why? I asked myself too. Maybe we need new affordable destinations? :)
ReplyDeleteJIPP : Wow, that's a LOT of money. MAS flights can be cheaper on some dates, do buzz if you find any bargains!
Julie : Price wars need to happen more frequently then :)!
The Nomadic Pinoy : Yupp, you are right there. Now the best bargains can only be found by booking tickets for months and months ahead, on non-peak dates.
Wow, I didn't know abt the increase too. I didn't buy anything from AirAsia sale either. I'm getting sick of it, of LCCT, of the passengers... Another thing: I declare my LAGs religiously but I see people getting away with it. Why?
ReplyDeleteAdek Fab - re:LAGS, yupp, it really annoys me that when that happens. Grrrr.
ReplyDeleteThe disgruntled Air Asia gang. Better watch out AA :)
