Cheap Fare vs Full Fare

As I was in Kuching during the weekend and been travelling quite extensively this pass few weeks.. suddenly it struck me of this topic..

Why?

Before…

Looking back at our Malaysian airline industry… from the days of only having 1 airline opperating in the nation, now we have several. I remember those days when I was an undergraduate studying over the South China Sea… the price of a flight ticket to go back home was really EXPENSIVE for average family. In 1999 until 2001 I was studying, I only go back 1 or 2 a year… now everyone can fly almost every week!

When the 2nd airline was introduced…. you know what… my mom opt to buy the ticket from there because when you are a student you get 25% off. Then, not long after that, student card was introduced by the other airlines offering 50% price if booked earlier. Even so, that can still cost a lot more than the price we have now..

Now…

After the cheap fare was introduced, or more known as ‘low cost’… not only 1 airline is offering it but almost all airlines have promotion, sales, cheap fare etc.. Now, if you are diligent enough in planning and lucky enough.. you can get very cheap tickets. Provided.. your schedule are not ‘adhoc’ like some people or ‘uncertain’.

Though there are times I can get ticket as cheap as RM28 1 way.. it was burn because something came up or I got to change different date etc.. in the end the RM28 I can use for ‘makan’ or pay my bills goes to the airline 100% profit because they can offer the seat to another person buying it at full fare.

In the end, I end up buying tickets quite late and pay more.. unless I’m really certain of the timing that nothing can prevent me from flying. Saying that.. I got to increase my spending power to prevent my purchase stress syndrome! haha..

Dulu dan sekarang…
