flee 5 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 FY is going further upmarket. I wonder if this the prelude to making it MH's regional arm, like MI is the regional wing of SQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jani 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Firefly has a strong niche in it being based out of SZB, nearer to where I would imagine people would be willing to sacrifice price for convenience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 The SZB-SIN route is very popular with business travellers. If a company book about one week before travel, the single fare can be in the region of RM 400+. However, if you book about one month in advance, the return fares can be around RM 250-270. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lim Kar Yong 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Just flew Firefly from SIN to SZB. Noticed that the first row and last few rows of seats are labelled as "Desired seats" and "preferred seats" (not Hot seats? ) I guess one may have to pay for those seats? I just selected auto assign when i checked in online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted January 31, 2015 I always use FY to go to Singapore for business.. Usually buying tickets 6 hours before departure.. Always very costly. But for business travel, very do-able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lim Kar Yong 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2015 Does anybody know when the FY check-in counters at T2, SIN open ahead of the scheduled departure? It is 2 hrs before departure. I remembered arriving early at T2 once, and I was hoping to change to an earlier flight but was told I could not. And I could not check in as well for my flight as it only opened 2 hrs before scheduled departure time. Tour around Changi lah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the intelligence...I was contemplating both that L Kar Yong did !...so it means I cant change to an earlier flight, and I cannot check in (with no luggage) ahead of time for a later flight even if they are doing check-in for the current departing flight. hmmmm...ok...I'll get a measuring tape and carry it with me to help pass time...will tell Suzanne how wide is the checkin area of T2...(had enough of thumb twiddling...) As I'm arriving in SIN to connect to FY hours earlier, I also wonder if I can get into the MH Golden Lounge using the self-printed not-exactly-the-valid-boarding-pass of FY whilst staying airside and only go landside closing to opening of check-in for my flight?
