Malaysia Airlines, Show Me The Real Fare - Part 4

MAS Global Online Sale banner with active countdown counter
I was thinking to end my ‘Malaysia Airlines, Show Me The Real Fare‘ blog series when MAS started to introduce ALL INCLUSIVE LOW FARE campaign recently. There’s no point to reveal the real/actual fares when MAS themselves showing the real fares in their advertisement. The promotion runs for 3 days only (10-12 November) and they put an interesting countdown counter for that matter in their booking website.
Frustratingly, their new GLOBAL ONLINE SALE promotion that started yesterday on midnight has went back to the same old approach. The advertised fares exclude, as usual, fuel surcharges and other taxes. Why don’t they just keep the same approach as what they have done in ALL INCLUSIVE LOW FARE campaign? At least Firefly had follow suits with their latest promotion recently.
I will continue this blog series until MAS or AirAsia really stop advertising fares that is not all-inclusive. The real/actual fares below were obtained from Malaysia Airlines website with the following search criteria:
- Fly From Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) only
- 1 adult guest only
- One way trip only
- Promotional fares are for Economy class only
London: Advertised: RM1069, Actual: RM1915
Male, Colombo - Advertised: RM429; Actual: RM903
Sydney - Advertised: RM759; Actual: RM 1520.00
