KC Sim 2 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 This is not necessarily accurate as there is no indication of the sector length for each of those fares. If I look at Firefly's fares from Singapore to Subang, it is often far more expensive than those of Tigerair and Jetstar Asia from from Singapore to KLIA/KLIA2.

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 I agree with KC Sim. Try booking it one or two months out for SZB-SIN, the price will be RM400-500+. Frequently much more expensive than MH itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Do note that it's based on an average fare basis. Of course when you buy something it's not on an average basis. Edited June 19, 2014 by Mohd Suhaimi Fariz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Yes, it would be a better comparison if it was quoted at an average fare per km. Firefly's cheapest SZB-SIN return tickets are usually around RM 280 (zero base fare) if booked around 4-5 weeks before travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
