MAS introducing 5-stars RM0 air fares but AirAsia strikes back with its price which is even lower than MAS.
In fact what has MAS and AirAsia introduced is just a marketing trick. If you log in to their website, you will find that fly from KL to other international destinations is so little and all are so close. While AirAsia is offering all international destinations at RM0 air fares but traveling period is from Jan-Apr 2009.
I only focus on Hong Kong, Bali, Bangkok and Taiwan. But the only route to HK I found is from Kota Kinabalu, air fare which is normally lower than RM1000K, there’s no route from KL to HK. So the current promotion is really great for those who would like to travel to selected destinations.
After a long and detailed research, I still prefer “Visit HK Now” or “SuperCity” packages offered by No. 1 airlines company - Cathay Pacific, the cost which is much lower than MAS and AirAsia.
