Flying Here and There

When Airasia came out quite a few years back i really thought that flying will be cheap. YEAH RIGHT.

1) They dont fly KL - Singapore - KL at that time.

2) Budget airlines always have this irritating concept of oooh "$0.00 DOLLAR FARE!" and end up you have to pay a few hundreds just to get from one place to another. Airport tax larh, fuel surcharge larh, insurance larh.. it's endless. Why dont we have restaurants that dont charge you for your bak chor mee, but charge you for using their spoon, their fork, their plate etc... what an idiotic idea.

3) Budget airlines have some very "interesting" airplanes. the kind that gives you free roller coaster rides. if you know what i mean.

BUT! lately i've decided to give it another try since fuel prices has dropped and flying seems to get hit quite hard in the recession. Furthermore Airasia seems to have established the route to Singapore quite firmly. SURPRISE SURPRISE! i actually managed to book a ticket which has a total cost (yes after adding all those irritating stuff) of < SGD35.00 when flying back from KL!

AND i've just bought another tix back to KL after my intern. it costs less than 50 bucks. cheaper than some bus tix. this time round it's Jetstar though. you just have to shift around Jetstar, Airasia or Tiger to get some good deals.. 

i guess sometimes recession might do some people really bad, but they also do some people good!
