New Alternative way to seek Low Cost flight ticket! Malindo

Malindo, incidentally, is targeting its inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching between March 20 and 30.

Hoping Malindo Air will keep fares real low
IN less than a month, the new low-fare upstart, Malindo Air, will be taking to the skies.

Air travellers can then hope for bargain fares, and real good ones at that.

Those in Sabah and Sarawak can have their dream of increased connectivity come through, as they would now have another choice for a low-fare airline other than AirAsia.

But of course, those who prefer premium travel could still fly with Malaysia Airlines.

This will be their replacement for Firefly, which ceased its jet operations over a year ago. Air travellers here then were getting good bargains because the two airlines, Firefly and AirAsia, were fighting each other for passengers and were throwing fares to get them.

Two-way fares were just about RM200 and there were many happy travellers. Not that those fares are not prevalent today, but the fight for passengers was more intense then. It was unfortunate that Firefly had to abandon its jet operations, but the entry of Malindo is expected to stir things up a bit.
