Apparently the flight is very full and we were asked to confirmed our bookings very much in advance. The flight ticket itself costs a bomb...almost RM30K Not sure why MH is not making money from this route since the load is so good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith T 2 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Wow 30K what class you travel at? Is it 30k in total, or per person? If it's per person, it looks like a business class fare booked into J. Edited September 12, 2006 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Ng 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Wow 30K what class you travel at? 30K return per person. I need to check which class that is...ticket is not with me now. If I'm not mistaken it's J or C class....will confirm tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken it's J or C class....will confirm tomorrow Looks like a JRT basis fare to me. Enjoy GCC! If it's indeed a full J fare (as opposed to I fares), you might be able to get ur TA to break up the sectors and force an xJNB, and you can sample SAA (completely flat beds) or SQ (the Singapore Girl!) either way. Like: KUL MH EZE SA xJNB SQ xSIN JL (no biz on this sector for MH or SQ) KUL, or the other way round so you get SQ Book the Cook out of SIN. Yours is a basic KUL-EZE fare which I'm sure allows transfers in JNB, and is endorsable AFAIK, if its indeed booked as full fare. Only thing is I can't remember whether C or J are the full fare buckets on MH. :S Strange that they'd want you to ticket a fare ASAP if it's a full fare though. I've been thinking of going to South America myself. Very attractive Z class LX fares BKK-ZRH-GRU return! Then LH or RG for GRU-EZE vv. Thinking of getting a cheapo TG fare MEL-BKK, upgrade with miles, then connect to that LX ticket. Urgh I want to go to too many places!! Have fun in EZE - the Paris of the South!

Sanjay Thaker 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 C is GCC...its gonna be fun..personally travelled this route in 1998 in First Class..theres more things to be done in CPT rather than EZE..but i heard things have improved in EZE now..enjoy the really long flight..but trust me....it gives u a huge amount of jet lag once u reach EZE..

Keith T 2 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) It's a C class...whatever that means Looks like they've booked on the front seats on both legs....so, lots of leg space! C is discounted business class on MH. I think this is why they hurried you in the ticketing. It means you can't stopover in JNB or CPT, just a straight KUL-EZE with transit stops in the aforementioned cities. Enjoy ur holiday! Sanjay - EZE is major party central!

Yeah I've heard many nice things about CPT. Read many cool trip reports which centre around CPT and its surrounding areas. With TG starting BKK-JNB soon, I'm actually hoping that they'd come up with some good MEL-South Africa fares. I keep telling myself I'll make it there one day.

Sanjay Thaker 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 why...is the MH's MEL-KUL-CPT fares really high? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith T 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) why...is the MH's MEL-KUL-CPT fares really high? No mileage for me. Must be *A. I collect mileage on LH's Miles and More scheme - very solid FFP. SQ's fares are quite alright but looking for something lower on TG. TG is almost as good as SQ nowadays anyway after the refubishment, just pray the a/c swapping gods won't hit me. There's also SA but only from PER.

If I flew enough to have enough mileage on as many FFPs as I want and manage to make top status in every single one of them - then yeah why not. Lounge access everywhere I go. But as it is, I'm constrained by time and money, so obviously I have to focus on one or two FFPs associated with the airlines I fly with most often.

Keith T 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Singapore Airlines all the way, baby! Yes, they're a huge drawcard to the Star Alliance. I think they singlehandedly convinced me to switch my business from QF/BA! It helps that my TA seems to be able to negotiate very good J class deals with SQ. The relatively lower cost of *A airfares was also considered of course. You've got an advantage over me using SQ's FFP - you can accrue status/award miles on VS! I can only hope that VS will someday join *A as I refuse to credit mileage to FFPs with expiring miles... Please publish ur flight schedules in more detail when you do get EG and access to the ClubHouses! Edited September 14, 2006 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
