BacK HOme SooN

I just got my air tickets back home for the coming Chinese New Year. Wow, the air fares prices have gone up so much. The return air fares (economy seat for Penang-KL and KL-Kuching) including taxes now cost a freaking RM1,320 ( RM1,096.00 + RM224.00) !!

Yeah, yeah.. In less than 6 weeks time, I'll be back home to a place called The Land of Hornbills. *Countdown*

    yeah loh.. lotsa difference in the price compared to two or three years back. I didn't do back home last Chinese New Year.

    Air Asia is only cheap if bought early. I compared the price of the air tickets for Air Asia at the same date and the prices is RM900++

  16. That is really too expensive. Can u fly return Kch-KL-Pg air asia? The flights may not link so well but MAS is for the loaded. I fly Sibu KL Sibu at a discounted rate n think how stupid i was to fly MAS in the past...pay so much for the on flight food and the service is no better than air asia.

  18. Chinese New Year? When is it? Sometimes, I got envy with you guys who celebrate it... Maybe someday, I would be able to celebrate it too with my "family" :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yes!! So expensive. No joke one. And then now they introduce the security charge. Aduh..

  20. :o so ex!!! happy new year to you doc

  21. bengbeng,
    The price is for the return tickets (means to & fro), not for one way :)
    I took MAS to save the hazzle from check in and check out again in LCCT if i took AA, cos AA don't provide the facilities to check in all the luggages till the final destination, unlike MAS. Need to check out & then check in again later on in LCCT.

    Another problem is most of the AA flights doesn't take off on time and there are delays. In order to avoid missing the connecting flight, AA passengers need at least 2 to 3 hours waiting time in between flights. It is a disaster if missed the connecting flight back home.. else cannot celebrate CNY at home :P

    As for MAS, I just take the nearest connecting flight (one hour in between), and this saves the hazzle of long waiting time in airport. When AA launched the direct flight from Pg to Kch, I will took that flight ;)

  22. selba,
    First day of CNY falls on Sunday, 18th February 2007. It's a major celebration here for the chinese communities :)
    Err.. Why is there an inverted comma for "family"?
    Or do u mean your future family? ;)

    lynnx,
    At least u r in KL, u can take the AA flight back home ;) But if buying the AA ticket late, there won't be much differences in the ticket prices though..

    babekl,
    Happy New YEar, BabeKL :)
    Yeah loh..
    So expensive and yet they say they don't made $$$ !!
    Adoi... The flight tickets to the nearby ASEAN countries are even cheaper than this :(

    ReplyDelete
  25. That is really expensive, can't believe that the domestic airfare is almost equivalent to overseas airfare. Have a wonderful CNY, Cheers.
