flee 5 Report post Posted September 28, 2011 Bullshit one - the fare is before taxes. I checked the Oct fares and the return is RM 2,588! Â Plus there is a long stopover of 19+ hours! No thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps the promotional air fare is already sold out on your chosen dates because it says there that taxes, fees and surchages are all included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted September 28, 2011 Perhaps the promotional air fare is already sold out on your chosen dates because it says there that taxes, fees and surchages are all included. Yes, I reselected the dates and it turned up a RM 1291 fare all in. But the connecting flight is still 19+ hours later... Anyway, its interesting to note that their launch fares are at 70% discount. Will look out for more of their new routes (esp to S America) in future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calvinoeh 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 Naim: Deciding whether to pull the trigger myself on this deal. How are you getting to Tromso? What's the cheapest way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 The air fare may be cheap but Oslo is such an expensive city But people can take this chance to go to other more affordable European cities through Oslo. It means one will have to buy another air ticket from Oslo to another European city but it will still be very cheap, definitely beats flying D7 directly to Europe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
