Edwin P K 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 When I clicked on the promo fares, it directs to http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/ISS2006/promoRoutes.jsp. When it should actually go to http://www.bookonline-malaysiaairlines.com...promoRoutes.jsp But good fares to Shanghai! Same as SIA's... Also, very buggy! Click on "Plan and book" and you'll get Error 500: Unable to compile class for JSP /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/temp/aixweb2/server1/MalaysiaApp_war/MalaysiaApp.war/ISS2006/_calendar.java:6: Package com.mas.fsales.bean not found in import. import com.mas.fsales.bean.*; ^ 1 error grrr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woei Shen 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 KUL-HKG from MYR750 looks like a good deal to me. Plus around MYR450 it should be MYR1200/pax. Good deal! I wonder if TG has similar offer. I wish to take TG and trasit/stopover at Don Muang before it got replaced by the new airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keno Omar 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 The supersaver fare may look cheap(ish) but wait till you add the tax + yada yada. Flight to PER is quoted as RM850 but the tax etc is another nearly RM800 more. Similarly last week SQ had an offer at RM800, but the tax etc is another RM850. For my flight to KIX last year, the tax etc was only RM153; now it's RM592. The extra charge to LHR is now also around RM800, i recall last year I only paid around RM250+.

H C Chai 4 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 Yes the fare published on Malaysia Airlines website do not include taxes and fees, this really p*** me off because from the customer point of view, the fares don't reflect how much one has to pay in total, therefore they are meaningless. AirAsia is doing the same thing too, a couple of years ago their taxes are only about RM16 for a domestic sector, now it is RM50! I think all other major airlines are doing the same thing, the only exception i know is Emirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woei Shen 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 SQ is offering RM650 to HKG, but it's the 2 to travel promotion... Yeap I saw that too soon after I check the price of MAS. SQ is much cheaper than MAS IMO, was quoted MYR2128 for 2pax. (Thats exactly what I need, going with my mum to HKG, thats GV2 fare I believe). MYR670 fare + MYR 394 tax and fees. Fare is cheaper than MAS, ++ also cheaper than MAS. Most likely I'll go for this one. Moreover it's valid for 14days, not 7. Btw, how do I know how much is the tax++ of MAS' supersaver? After selecting my destination, I was directed to the flight booking page, after choosing the flights I was quoted MYR1600++ each to HKG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After selecting my destination, I was directed to the flight booking page, after choosing the flights I was quoted MYR1600++ each to HKG. If I'm not mistaken, Supersaver fares are class L, so when you get the booking pages and at the bottom, look for L class. If there's no L class in the selected dates of flights, then Supersavers are not offered for that combination.

I think all other major airlines are doing the same thing, the only exception i know is Emirates. Yeah lor, well for Low cost airlines, the reason why they can offer prices as long as they do is because it excludes all the airport tax, surcharge, bla bla bla. It's all marketing, makes them seems so affordable. Like Ryan air here all also like that...unlike BA, they publish rates that includes everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
