Azri M. 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2008 I actually like the way MAS trying to maximise profit and letting people choose frills. for the first time ever, passengers in economy can have lounge access (MHflex). I found the ticketing tiers are more transparent and you know what you're getting and also gives valid reasons to pay more. (flexibility, frills) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azri M. 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2008 we need to pay Rm100 for lounge access if we're on MH FLEX? apparently so. but it seems to me that the business class and MHflex's frill has been a bit blurred. im not too sure how much different the pay between both though.

QF upgraded their Australia domestic services several years back to distinguish themselves between a full service carrier and no frills carrier. MAS is doing the exact opposite. Not only that we are served terrible foods on MAS, they also no longer give us advance seat selection and Enrich Miles now. MAS really are getting better and better everyday, aren't they ? By the way, a return full economy class fare between BKI/KUL now cost RM1606 while full business class fare is RM2066. A difference of only RM460. And bear in mind you do not have to pay the RM100 for lounge access with full business class fare. Edited September 25, 2008 by Isaac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth T 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2008 Perhaps MH management is creative but that's certainly not the way to respond to a ever competetive airline industry. It's insane.

I found the ticketing tiers are more transparent and you know what you're getting and also gives valid reasons to pay more. (flexibility, frills) There is something "wrong" with the table. MH is actually charging folks "double or more" for all the so-called additional frills for the higher fare class. Note that despite ALREADY paying through the nose via much higher fares, many of the frills still require some MORE payment if the pax wishes to utilise them. A full flex fare should not attract any further fees to make a change, for instance. And if you do the math, the cost per Enrich mile must be very expensive...you pay a lot more to get, say, 50% of mileage, on what is a relatively short domestic flight. And you still end with MH's dreadful catering in Y. Edited September 25, 2008 by Mushrif A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azuan Zahdi 2 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) additional information from MH website If i may refer to the 2 photos above, so meaning to say with MH basic, we got 80% enrich miles and cheap fares? CORRECTION: OK I was wrong...low fare and basic fare shares the same column. Red indicates low-fare (0% enrich). Damn..

mokay87 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 i found something wrong with the chart above, the Enrich miles accrual for MHBasic is 50% but not 80%.. Azri M., the difference between business class and MHflex's frill actually is quite obvious referring to the chart below.. If you are in MHbusiness, you can have two pieces of hand carry instead of one as in MHflex, 5kg more than MHflex for your baggage allowance, you could enjoy priority boarding, baggage and check-in, free lounge access, and 150% of Enrich miles accrual rather than 125% as in MHflex. Hope this help lah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith T 2 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) umm, i hate to say this (and of course I'd be the last person to advocate for these sort of FFP "enhancements" ) but let's put this into perspective: this is quite a standard industry practise these days as airlines eliminate mileage accrual for the cheapest fares. Great compromise between mileage and cheap fares in the face of LCC competition IMO - as a great proportion of the traveling public probably don't even maintain an FFP and just want to get somewhere affordably and comfortably. If you really want miles - simply buy up to the next fare category. The miles do represent a liability on the books and it costs money to run an FFP, and it's either cheap fares or mileage accrual; can't have it both ways. At the very least, the mileage accrual info should be clearly indicated prior to purchase to enable an informed choice.

singyc 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 scare me..i thought no enrich mile for all domestic fare.. no la, we can earn enrich mile for all domestic fare except the low fare only, fair enough la.. can earn 50% for MHBasic, 100% and 125% for MHsmart and MHflex respectively, really not bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azuan Zahdi 2 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 I was on MH on 1st day of Raya, Oct 1,2008. Both for my AOR-KUL and KUL-SIN flights, i did not gain a single mile. Despite the fact i purchased the ticket few months back before all this new low fare thingy , it's still considered an 'L' fare hence no point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
