lionel 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 taking advantages to slash the consumers instead of the price? by hiking the price? what to do....just "terkejut" when saw the price they offer... hmm i realised the frequency has been reduced to twice a day from 3 flights per day for kl-sbw route ya, don't know why they reduce the frequency...maybe is the low demand???? (i believe the demand during CNY should be quite high) just couldn't understand how they manage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping, sorry~~i don't understand what you wrote... btw , lionel are you from sbw as well? erm~~my birth place is there, and most of my relatives also live there, so i will go back every year CNY... They reduce 3 to 2 may be MAS still continue to operates SIBU? As last time there is news that MAS will stop flying to SIBU so 6 daily flight to sibu is still ok for us hopefully MAS will continue flying to EAST Malaysia....so that we got more choices to choose...

Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 Waiping, sorry~~i don't understand what you wrote... I believe what he meant was the ticket's price is dictated by demand. Naturally, FY (and any other airlines) will not offer RM9 airfares during festive seasons where the demand for travel is huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] thanks...air asia also the same, when high demand, their not giving out any promo...but MAS do start from very low fare, which was RM148++ (luckily i bought it).....is just that the price that firefly offer is rocket high, it is not reasonable/acceptable...just a discussion, see whether you guys can accept it or not...

andrewljs 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 i noticed that flight kl-sbw is no longer available for booking on MAS website from the 1st of august. hmmm does this mean that MH is withdrawing from that route from august onwards and hand it over completely to FY?

prosibu1 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) those who bought the MAS ticket for CNY are forced to go for FY? since MAS open booking for CNY ticket, so assume ~90 tickets being booked then transferred to FY so that is the reason the opening of the FY ticket for CNY is jumped to RM399 straight?
