Sanjay Thaker 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2007 wow..BOM/KUL/BOM....they shld have some load for CAIRO-KUL-CAIRO pax as MH has discontinued that flight...and some load for BOM/KUL/BOM for those pax who are hoping to pay less instead of travelling on MH. Right now, all Indian carriers are flying the MAA-KUL-MAA sector so this is a good move.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fendy Report post Posted March 2, 2007 teoh, theres always MH/SQ/TG/EK etc if MS dont have service here. will it come true this time? previously MS planned CAI-KUL few years back which never took off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raj 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) teoh, theres always MH/SQ/TG/EK etc if MS dont have service here. will it come true this time? previously MS planned CAI-KUL few years back which never took off. Fendy, with the Return of PIA and Kuwait. I say this could wee be true. We can have higher hopes of a Middle Eastern Carrier flying to KUL rather than a European or American. possible Royal Jorndanian next?

EddieDaniel 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) I got to listen to the latest radio ad by MAS on the recent Supersaver promotion.......Since when MAS starts flying back to CAIRO? I thought they have pulled out from CAIRO last year.....Another blunder? This is false advertising!!!!! Edited June 28, 2007 by EddieDaniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessnor Arif 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 could it be they introduce a seasonal flight? Since Tourism Industry said that during this month a lot of tourist from middle east can be expected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keno Omar 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 could it be they introduce a seasonal flight? Since Tourism Industry said that during this month a lot of tourist from middle east can be expected I would assume the same too, but if these seasonal services are meant to cash in on the July/August peak holiday season in the Middle East, why bother selling them cheap to us Malaysians when they could easily fill the seats by selling them at full price to rich Arab tourists?

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2007 True. This is indeed the major problem the middle-eastern carriers are facing now, QR especially. into KL? I HIGHLY doubt that...especially since im forced to carry a backup ticket on MH whenever im flying back to KL because EK, EY and QR are constantly full to the brim...but MH...50+ seats empty..
