Pre climb

This trip being a budget trip, we booked on air asia. a friend had suggested we fly mas via the group fare which comes up to be around Rm420 each (don't quote me, i don't really remember the actual figure but it's around there). with air asia we pay rm 270 for return flight.

the only problem with air asia as i was soon to find out is that they delay flights, frequently. this is roughly how/why they do it. let's say the 2pm flight is only 1/2 full they will cancel it and move everyone to the 4pm flight, which hopefully is also 1/2 full = you'll get a cost effetive full flight by delaying all the 2pm patience budget travelers by 2 hours.

this is ok and make business sense IF you want to continue to remain a budget airline known for it's delay. i will travel air asia only when i'm on budget, if i have some cash to spare, i'll be flying mas. i can't imagine being delayed indefinitely if i'm traveling with my family. children are not so patience.

as always, read the fine prints.

now everyone can fly - you'll just have to wait till the plane is full.
