KL- London/London-KL : MAS or Air Asia??

masa me ter-rajin & terbaca my old entries (from link within widget tu), me perasan ada one comment tanya perbezaan naik MAS or Air Asia to or from KL-London.

anyway, ni ENTRY me psl Air Asia ie masa me sampai sini Dec 2009 ari tu..

me dh rasa both flights/journeys, so me memang boleh buat comparison, all based on my own personal experience yer..no intention nak promote mana2 airlines pun..

me naik MAS masa first time dtg UK ie Sept 2007, and balik ke KL March 2008...naper me naik MAS? sbb UIA yg bayar tiket flight me hehhhehheh bkn me bayar

MAS, naik or turun kat Heathrow Airport, tp kalau AirAsia, kat Stansted Airport, both in London, tp bkn in city of London tau...tp still within London area. Heathrow teramat crowded, Stansted less crowded (ala2 LCCT lah statusnya)... from these two airports boleh amik apa2 transport pun utk ke mana2 destinasi..me naik bas(coach) utk ke Notts ie from both Airports. boleh jugak kalau nak naik train pun :)

tu comparison pertama (ie different airport)

no. 2, harga tiket of courselah Air Asia lg murah...that one goes without saying babe...Air Asia kalau beli lagi awal, lagi ler murah...masa me one whole family dtg UK (26 dec 2009), tix for 4 of us total RM 3.7 K, ni inclusive all ie me amik extra baggage (max tu) and bassinet for Ariff, and me amik tempat paling dpn ie pilih seat yg best lah, front row agak luas bahagian letak kaki tu. and me siap pre-order meal dlm flght jugak..
UIA just byr harga tix me ie RM 1.1 K, selebihnya me bayar sendiri..

masa me naik MAS yg UIA bayar tu (2007+2008), harga tiket around RM3.5K one way -tu utk me sorang tu...

comparison no.3 : keselesaan...honestly, tak byk beza pun, sbb me naik MAS pun kelas ekonomi kan, so seat sgt2 sempit..Air Asia seat sempit gak mcm MAS, tp sebab me amik front row, so agak luas lah jugak jdnya!!

comparion no 4 : food... yg ni of course Air Asia tak leh tandingi MAS lah..sbb MAS tix flight tu dh termasuk food (dua kali main meal, one snack, juice/water anytime)
Air Asia, u pay then u get the food...so sbb flight 13 jam, berkali2 gak weolls beli Milo, siap beli maggi in cup jugak :p and ....main meal weolls dh pre-pay masa book/beli tix online tu..ada few menus jugak lah actually, rasa so-so jer..ala2 mkn benda instant like curry instant gitu :p

comparison no 5 : MAS, boleh tgk DVD/movie free sbb memang dh provide siap2/attach kat seat tu...
Air Asia plak, kena sewa portable DVD..weolls memang sewa lah, for Zharfan..dia suka tgk cartoon..harga sewa RM30 for 2 hrs kalau tak silap :)

tu jer kot comparisonnyer..
stewards ok jer, polite jer even Air Asia pun, toilet pun bersih jer..and safety wise, so far ok jer kan Air Asia..

tu jer me nak share..kot2 ada saper2 nak dtg UK kan..kalau poket tebal or kalau company bayar tix, memang naik MAS lah..kalau nak jimat sikit sbb guna duit sendiri, boleh jer naik Air Asia..duit lebih boleh shopping byk2 kat UK!!!
