This stereotype could be true for migrant workers or from countryside, certainly not those younger generations from major cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 31, 2017 I think they are trying to stimulate demand with lower fares and daily frequency. HK Express did not last long because they had very low frequency red eye flights too. As this flight is a red eye flight, having it daily might be a good idea - make it more convenient for travellers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most local MW knew what happened and it wasn't pretty to say the least. As such HX decided to leave even before their free landing fee contract expired.

jahur 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) It may be beneficial to KCH's tourism seeing how other market and airlines failed to materialized ak should take the opportunity to try. provided they dont pull the plug so quickly like they always do. BKI sudden increasing traffic these past two years is due to china flights from China Southern, Shanghai Airlines, Spring Air, Xiamen airlines and local ak, od mh. There are actually a lot good behaving mainlander tourist i've met, seemingly i think they're aware of the behavioral moral issues they've been causing to other countries so they strictly tone down their doings. But there are times i've encountered complete morons where they cross the highways like pack of cows slowly and waving their hands at cars like they own the roads, shitting in back alley of a seafood restaurant, then the noise levels they create that rivals the South Koreans who are actually already very noisy and locals abusing the airbnb system by hosting these tourist in their apartments creating noise and cleanliness nuisance . Would've preferred Taiwanese and Japanese tourist as what i see many years ago but then again not many wanna visit Sabah nowadays.

flee 5 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Yes. that is what is happening in Ipoh now. Food prices have gone up - now the locals rarely go down to town because prices there have almost doubled due to the tourists arriving on Scoot flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szesyn 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 Additional KCH-SIN from 27 Dec onwards making it a total of 16 x weekly; 3 flights on Friday and Sunday; with MH and TR, 5 flights to SIN on these days.
