MH New Internet Booking Engine: See MASWings'

[MH New Internet Booking Engine: See MASWings']

I can access the booking at :

http://www.bookonline-malaysiaairlines.com...storefront=1001

Still the same booking engine with a different background. I hope it doesnt stay that way, but change the booking system like the MASwings.

 

Maybe it is not upgraded yet..i'm suspecting its from 9am - 12am, but not 12pm..

[MAS being "the strength of an alliance without being in an alliance"]

It is undeniable that MH is too late to join alliance; the next best option for MH is to have as many code shared as possible. Won’t be surprise that MH may ended up with the most code share routes in the world (another point for propaganda).

 

According to MH code share agreement http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/getdoc/c34.../codeshare.aspx, find the code share agreement is looped sided;

 

MH is offering code shared destinations beyond MH online station e.g. BMI LHR/EDI as MH9614, KLM AMS/OSL as MH 9281, while most partner airlines are offering seats on MH to KUL only.

 

To benefit MH most, partner airlines should offer MH routes beyond KUL e.g. LHR/KUL, KUL/SYD, KUL/MEL, KUL/DPS, etc as BMI.

 

Most code share agreement involve stock commitment i.e. seat blocking. Wonder how well MH manages these stocks.

 

Code share is different, not equal to and can never replace alliance.

 

 

MH only codeshares with partner airlines on certain sectors only. MH can sell KUL/AMS/OSL etc because the codehare agreement includes marketing the sector, why dont MH sell KUL/AMS/JFK.

 

I wonder why there is no people would have an idea of creating an new alliance again..eg with EK, EY, China Eastern, Jet Airways, Kingfisher, Aer Lingus, Virgin Group, Alaska Air, and more..maybe it would be just a dream

 

[KLIA Masterplan]

Got back from LGK last Friday late afternoon and on Saturday morning off to Penang for a bit of ...

 

 

Ooops ... sorry, OT, thot this was the pasembur thread.

 

Anyway, here's the latest rendition of MAB's masterplan of KLIA (with 5 runways!), as displayed at their LIMA booth last week. Also note the permanent LCCT.

 

 

 

I think the permanant LCCT will be somewhere next to the new statelite building..those like boxes on the far lower right of the plan. The new phase of satelite buidling has made little modification by combining 2 satelite terminal buidling into one. And when capacity tops, the additional arms (gates) of the building will be built.
