Two of Malaysia airlines are fighting for the market share. This leads to the promotions from both Malaysia Airlines System (MAS) and AirAsia (AA).
MH Stimulus Package
MAS came out with the 9 Stimulus Package to boost the sales of air tickets. Most of the package allows to book the tickets flight until end of December this year while the other in 31st July. Grab-A-Deal for example is allows you to login to the system and choose which promotions that might interest you. I personally think it is just suitable for random people like me. As I browsing on the choices, suddenly be so interested to grab a ticket to Taipei, Taiwan.
MAS Grab-A-Deal
Here is how simple this can be done and you are on your way to a holiday.
AirAsia on the other hand launched the free 1,000,000 seats on both domestic and international flights. It seems to be an annual thing that caused the site to be slow. Reminds me of the e-Filling for the Income Tax in end of April this year. *note: if you experience slowness or page load error, keep refresh except when it is on the transaction/confirmation on the payment. This tips has been verified by Huei.
Flight Price from MAS
In the attempt to compare pricing with the MAS, here is the screenshot on the AirAsia. I am getting the extra as we need to do apple to apple comparison in order not to be bias.
Flight Price for AirAsia X
Hence, the verdict?
MAS RM 2,132
AA RM 1,466
If were to travel by AA, it is cheaper by RM 666. It is good enough saving for the accommodation in Taipei with this excess cash. That is if I can make my mind by 15th May 2009, which is the end of the promotion.
Else, flying with MAS will proved to be better as the Grab-A-Deal package is open till end of the year. The choice is yours.
