Firefly as an alternative

We took the firefly from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching for chinese new year! It is a good alternative to have from airasia.

We particularly liked the fact that firefly flies out of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and not the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). It's nice to use a full fledged airport eventhough it means paying RM35 for airport charges instead of RM9 for LCCT airport charges. The price difference is worth it especially for flying out where there may be waiting time. Furthermore, KLIA also offers the KLIA Express train from and to KL city.

It was also very smart for firefly to make the booking simple. With an additional RM38, there is 20kg check in luggage, a meal and a bottle of water. That pretty much brings it up to the same full service as the Malaysia Airlines (MAS). There's something about a well thought package that makes you feel it is just a click away. Because airasia never offered a package like this, I tend not to apply my mind to it except maybe for international sectors.

Anyway, I asked my highly opinionated 13 year old daughter how she felt about firefly, she said she would still opt for airasia because of airasia's nasi lemak. The firefly one is a tad too spicy. Well, that's true, I found the nasi lemak a bit too spicy. Haha, does it all boil down to the nasi lemak onboard?
