RM0.10 cent Air Asia hoopla crap

Air "Liars" Asia has done it again. Hoodwinking and romancing travellers with their again flight fantasy RM0.10 air tickets.

First of all, one should know and understand in this global travel industry, there is no such thing as a RM0.10 or USD 3 cents flight to anywhere. Not even to the graveyard.

Lets analyse why Air Asia or any airline can't give you flight tickets for that dirt cheap. And the disgusting thing to this is - this airline bravely advertises as if they are sending you on a heavenly flight to your chosen pristine destination.  

When you book the RM0.10 tickets you'll get to know that : -
( some of the irregularities )

  • Airport taxes somewhat gets hiked - in fact doubled and even tripled. How can airport taxes change all of a sudden for a RM0.10?
  • a selected / customer choosing seat in Air Asia costs RM60 when it was RM5 for all I can remember. 
  • the RM0.10 are for flights no one would fancy flying because of its odd crazy fly-time hours.
  • the RM0.10 is for flights either before dawn or on the graveyard hour. Who would fancy flying at those times when getting to the airport or home would cost you 10 times the usual fare.
  • RM0.10 is only for one way. If you want both ways, I suggest you stay home and watch TV.
  • Why is it the price for many fixed destinations are never same?
If you sum up all the additional costs to the RM0.10, it will come to the same fare more or less or more. 

Why cheat when you claim you are 'Low Cost Airline'? 

Why parade RM0.10 the fare when it is only for selected destinations and travel time and that too it is never justified? 

One other stupidity - when the RM0.10 or RM0.00 is announced, http://www.airasia.com/ gets a million web hits by travel morons. How can anyone possibly book air tickets when the site keeps asking you to come back later as it is busy? Mind you, there may be others who are not so mesmerised by the RM0.10 cent nonsense and may need to book tickets for other destinations as well under the non 10 cent flight. 

In fact, by the time you get to the end of your booking, either your screen will stall asking you to reboot, or the flight is full or you may need to redo your booking all over again.

If Air Asia is honest, why would they wana advertise for flights 6 months and beyond? And they don't give back what they make you pay for - cancelled journeys. Why cheat with their knifing RM0.10 stories and further make travellers fall for their harebrained nonsense?

This is one bloodsucker's "pull the wool over someone's eyes" trick in making money to fuel his 'personal' riches.

In fact.... even a plank will tell you there is no such thing ever as Low Cost Airline anywhere on this planet. Not even in purgatory.


Don't be fooled.
