Now, Airasia is fighting back Mas Airlines 0 Fare program launched at 5th May with price even lower than 0 fare. The airline is shouting that the combination of tax, fuel surcharge, insurance and admin fee of they charging now is stated as below, which is competitive compare to so called 0-fare carrier below. it’s a delight to see Malaysia’s airlines start competing like that, the one who benefit all of this will be our – the consumer who take airplane for traveling.
| AirAsia (RM) | 0-Fare Carrier (RM) | |
| Airport Tax + Fuel Surcharge + Insurance + Admin Fee |
44.50 | 76.00 |
| Promo Fare* | 15 | 0 |
| Baggage Fee** | 3 | 0 |
| You Pay | RM 62.50 | RM 76.00 |
*Applicable for domestic flights only
** For pre-booked check baggage online
For your information, MAS’s offer is from 5-19 May 2008, and ticket is non-refundable and flight dates can’t be changed after your booked. The ticket also need to book at least 30-days before the departure date. it’s also without the charges of 20kg of luggage, fixed seat number and probably MAS’s food. The traveling time is between 10th June to 14th December 2008.
Also, the ticket for East Malaysia from West Malaysia RM120, it’s a good bargain from MAS for all malaysian here. Hopefully, airasia also can provide competitive price for this area.(the price in the table above doesn’t state the place of travel, you may need to take a look at it’s website or booked the ticket yourself)
