Under the package, MAS is offering seven deals for economy class travel, one for business and one for first class. The package includes the “balik kampong” package that has fares of RM69 nett for travel within the Peninsular and within East Malaysia, and RM99 nett for travel between East and West Malaysia. The MAS Stimulus Package covers domestic, Asean and international travel. Idris said while the airline cannot control the operating environment, it could control the way it ran its business. "These deals have been tailored to meet what the customers want and stimulate travel demand." "Based on the public's support to us during our travel promotions, we can see that if they are given a choice to fly with us, they will definitely do so as we offer the best value for their money," he told reporters after launching the deals.

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 Now if only MH puts on the website for all to see the all-important fine print, the T&Cs for each package. From experience, even the call centre may not be aware of the all T&Cs, and only give selective terms over the phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 MAS sees 30pc rise in domestic bookings PETALING JAYA, May 12 — Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has seen a 30 per cent increase in domestic bookings since the launch of its stimulus packages last month when compared with last year’s bookings. Managing Director and CEO Datuk Seri Idris Jala said the stimulus packages have received good response, attracting many customers. “Our forward bookings in domestic bookings are better than last year by 30 per cent,” he told reporters after the opening of MAS’ one-stop ticket centre here today. The latest ticket centre at the Skypark Subang Terminal was opened by Tourism Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen. “We have also seen some improvements in our forward booking profile for Asean, which is better than last year by around 10 per cent,” Idris said. He said customers could log on to the MAS website for more information on the stimulus packages. On the impact of the H1N1 flu outbreak on the airline, Idris said: “We have not seen any direct impact of the Influenza A so far. I think we are a lot more prepared globally on how to deal with this.” On the ticket centre, MAS chairman Tan Sri Munir Majid said the development of ticket offices was part of the national carrier’s Business Transformation Plan which focused on making the most of resources in order to serve customers and partners better. “The ticket office is an important place to meet and serve our customers, whether they are individuals or travel agents,” he said. “Although we officially opened today, the system has been up and running since a month ago. As of May 5, we have closed over 1,442 transactions, served over 600 customers and brought in sales worth RM321,000,” he added. Munir said the airline planned to place six Internet booking facility kiosks at Skypark, which are expected to be operational in October this year. He said these would enable flight tickets to be purchased as early at 6.30am or as late as midnight, similar to the automated teller machines (ATM). MAS has three other ticketing offices at KL Sentral, Putrajaya and the main terminal building of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. – Bernama http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.p...mestic-bookings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
