[QUOTE="okow, post: 188679, member: 14"] The pride of having a Malaysian owned (private) company to ply such a long haul route on a "low cost, no frills" proposition is indeed something of an achievement. AirAsia is the largest and most successful low cost carrier in our region and to see them team up with big boys like Virgin and EasyJet is again another feather in the cap. The success business module of a no frill airline has always been accepted with fight distances of no more than 3 hours....afterwhich inflight service will be needed..food, drinks, pillows and blankets and not to mention music, movies etc. to keep one occupied. This would be a test case of sorts for not only AirAsia but the rest of the low cost carriers thinking of flying further than the norm. Note: the RM9.99 advertised for KL - Manchester is just for the airfare, taxes and fuel surcharge excluded - add in another RM1,000 for that...that's still cheap. Lets wait and see what else is chargeable. I am sure there will be many "optionals" for which one can purchase on board.... I believe they will charge for pillows and blankets too. I remember EasyJet (for certain long haul routes) allowed only cabin bags for free and charged for checked-in luggage. [/QUOTE]
