Economic downturn VS Air tickets

Well, today's United Daily (formerly known as Miri Daily) do a report about air tickets...informing that not only normal people (means citizens) cannot stand MAS tickets being inflated for 2.5 times over time of three years for most of the route...the well known people (erm...public figures) also voice the same thing (That's what's being shown on the papers)....

Erm...well to me, it is true that the price does sound funny as I think it's only our national carrier in this region who impose 4 types of fare on the same class of travels...But then with the promotional "low fares" sincelast year, travelling with full service carrier has been quite valuable already, just that may be the in cabin pressure not that nice...

So, what's related with downturn in economy? Well, in theory, demand less by supply in excess will result in low prices while high demand with reasonable supply will push up the prices...That's what economy teach us traditionally...which means if this downturn eventually recovered, everyone can expect the prices will back to normal, regardless of what industry...as people have the power to spend again...

But then, may be high priced tickets not so welcomed already by then as people had been always expecting low fares for a long time...well,that's what is being expected...

Let's see what we got for the upcoming Monday as the report says the national carrier is going to have a joint promotion with those travel agents...Yap pi!

For those who want to go for London this Sunday, Book NOW for only MYR 549 all inclusive on MAS!! Is funny to have last minute tickets on such as low price, good job MAS!

Guess that's all for now!

BYE BYE!

SEE YA!

HAHA!
