Airasia: Shop til you drop

The beloved low cost fare Airasia, has coming out with a new promo again. This time it is about Shop til you drop. The travel destination including shopping heaven: Bangkok, Hongkong, Singapore, and Shenzhen. The price ranges from RM3 to RM90.

Booking Period (for public) : 15 Jul 2008 - 20 Jul 2008. Travel Period : 25 Aug 2008 - 13 Nov 2008. The member of Airasia-Citibank card has the privilege to book the seats 1 day ahead of the public.

I spotted the RM3 flight from Medan to KL and the return ticket for end of August. Total tickets + baggage + insurance costs me IDR.700.000. Consider cheap. By then, the mid year sale should be ended already. Or else, I could fill the moving boxes with the shopping spree. But never mind, as long as I can spend time with him. I’ll take this as an early holiday cause I’ll be busy until earlier next year.

Airasia: just how fast the price changes

Oh man, it was so scary. I just checked the Airasia flight from Medan to Jakarta for my auntie. The flight is for next week. She has chosen the date and was fine with the price. I thought I would book it after having my lunch. Stomach was growling.

“Will the price go down after you have your lunch? If that is the case, then take your time,”she said (kidding tone). Oh well, to have Airasia price suddenly goes down is a day dream. But, who knows, miracle might happen.

30 minutes after that, I checked the price again. And you know what… It has raised as much as IDR.100.000 per seat. *faint down* Just how fast the price has changed. It is faster than the result of taking Phentermine without a prescription. I wonder maybe Airasia has a tracking thing. They know that is the flight that I wanna book, therefore they raise the price. Hmm.. who knows.

Another lesson to learn, book immediately if you wanna fly with Airasia. The price fluctuates so fast that even 1 second counts.

Airasia: even lower than 0 fare

Just read about MAS vs. Airasia on the boyfriend’s blog when I saw this newsletter from Airasia.

Obviously the 0 - fare carrier is MAS lo. Even with the medical id fee Airasia still cheaper than MAS.

Another comparing ad, wanting the consumer to calculate. Like how the ad in the newspaper among Tesco, Giant and Carrefour. Or like the mobile operator in Indonesia. Everyone is fighting to be the cheapest and lowest fare. NONE talks about quality!

Consumer not only want a cheap fare flight but also a safe one.
