Cheap & Reliable?


Ok kali nih aku nk cerita tentang perang harga yg berlaku di Malaysia. Aku nk cerita pasal perang harga tambang Kapal Terbang atau name omputihnya Flight Ticket.

Rasanya semua sudah sedia maklum 2 syarikat gergasi ini telah mendominasi aviation industry like storm. Kedua-dua nya sedang berebut-rebut untuk memikat hati pengguna yang rata-ratanya inginkan kadar tambang yang murah. Well, paham-paham je la kan lebih-lebih lagi dengan ekonomi yang tengah gawat ini, asal ade yang murah sudah pasti la menjadi keutamaan.

Namun adakah yang murah itu paling selesa?
Umum rakyat Malaysia mahupun penggemar pengangkutan udara di dunia sudah maklum yang Air Asia telah menggugurkan surcharge bahan api. Dengan itu, harga tiket yang ditawarkan jauh lebih rendah compare to the other fierce rival. Namun, langkah ini telah dituruti oleh MAS yg akan menurunkan surcharge bahan api untuk penerbangan domestic sahaja. Wahhh bagus-bagus, nanti kita sebagai pengguna la yang akan untung! Tp..

Promotion ROCKS!!

Cuba korg rajinkan diri beli any newspapers today. Aku yakin 99% yang korg akan lihat promosi Flight ticket yang begelimpangan di dada akhbar. Cuba teliti dengan sefokus mungkin. Korang akan Nampak tanda (*) yg bermaksud conditional @ bersyarat! So my advise is to read from top to bottom what the airlines company offers. The price written will show a fantastic & very very CHEAP price because..
-the price may refer to 1 way journey only. Forsure la korg nk beli tiket 2 way untuk memudahkan perjalanan. But unless korg mmg nk menetap kt destinasi dituju, so no probs la.

-the price may exclude the management fees or the airport tax. So although they have exclude the fuel surcharge (caj bahan api) before, the price actual price will still very high. The airport tax will depend of the type of airport. LCCT’s Airport Tax is much cheaper compare to KLIA’s Airport Tax. So if your ticket depart from LCCT, your price should be cheaper la by any means.

-the ticket price becomes cheap may because of the time of your plane depart. For example a plane which departs at 1am will be much cheaper compare to the plane that departs at the normal time. That’s the strategy of the company la because they know that if they depart at 1am, forsure tak ramai yang akan naik. Sape la yang sanggup nak stay-up during that time. Semua org tgh membuta atas katil Haha So when the price down, hopefully more people will fill up the slot. if you dare to take risk and fly at 1am, than you will pay less la =)

-time of booking will be another factor. The earlier you book, the cheaper the price! So may be the price display if for travelling 2 months from now etc. So plan your journey & book earlier la. Can save byk maaaaaaaa...

Another very important thing is, semua booking yang dibuat online is not refundable which means if you make booking & last minute you got other things to do, than you money will burn! Hoho dengan strategi ini sahaja, dah berjaya generate millions of money. Why? Example, each ticket cost around RM150. So if one person miss the flight, than the airlines will get RM150 free of charge! If 10 person do so, than they will get RM1500. If One day, they got 50 flight, than 75000!!!!!!! Wow..that’s only one day. How about a year?? Calculate by yourself la..=)

Nasihat aku, baca dari A sampai Z. Faham dengan seteliti mungkin apekejadahnya harga yang ditawarkan. If not, then don’t complain about any extra money that you need to pay.
Nowadays, travel by plane may cost you less compare to travel by car or by bus! It’s true!!!
Plan earlier...Price? make the correct decision..each airline have pro & cons =)
