Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2013 Ideally ticket price should be cheap long before departure, getting progressively expensive as the departure time becomes nearer. Then just prior to departure (a few days or a few hours) price should be cheap, if there are any seats remaining as airline will try to fill up those otherwise unsold seats. Are we getting anywhere close to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we getting anywhere close to it? In Australia and NZ, the same practice applies. If you buy it during the last min. Be prepared to pay heaps towards your fare. Sort of like airlines punishing you for not planning your travels early. It is easier for the Chinese to control their price as all airlines are government owned anyway. A lot of people buy their fares just days before the travel and we were told to wait for the last minute fares a lot of the times.

Mike P 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Unless you're flying on the KUL - SIN route. This route is now relatively cheap and I could get lesser than 200 MYR return on this trip 2 days before the Christmas Eve and New Year Eve. Either Jetstar or Tiger is the cheapest of all.

flee 5 Report post Posted January 9, 2013 KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 (Bernama) -- AirAsia has received overwhelming response from the rakyat to the '1Malaysia Integration Programme with AirAsia'.All the 10,000 free seats offered under the initiative had been snapped up by 11 am today, AirAsia said in a statement.Under the free seats campaign, return flights to eight destinations in Sabah and Sarawak, namely Kuching, Sibu, Miri, Bintulu, Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Labuan and Sandakan, were offered from three destinations in Peninsular Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Baharu) with a total of 417 weekly flights.The 10,000 free seats offered were the first of many other activities that the airline would unveil as part of the '1Malaysia Integration Programme launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last Saturday.Only the airport tax is applicable for this 1Malaysia Free Seats campaign, as fares and fuel surcharge are waived for the routes offered.
