AirAsia Vs Malaysia Airlines


As all of you know, I travel a lot with flights every year. Just for this year it self, I have fly with both AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines. So far, I have fly with AirAsia 6 times and Malaysia Airlines 5 times.
Many people has been asking me, which airline is better..... well, let's just put it this way, every perfect gift comes with an imperfection.

1. AirAsia is a budget airlines and is known as a 3 star airlines.

2. Malaysia Airlines is a 5 star airlines and is known for is code MH which is Malaysian Hospitality.



Both has it's own weakness and strength.

AirAsia:
~Known for cheap tickets.
~World's best low-cost airlines
~Baggage not include in ticket price, pay separately.
~rm10 for 15kg, etc.
~Food onboard sold separately.
~Seat sold separately.
~No sub fuel fee
~No admit fee
~Uses Air bus
~Cheaper bus fee to airport (rm6.50 online payment)
~Confusing when going to aircraft.

Malaysia Airlines
~Best cabin crew.
~All in one payment include food, baggage up to 20kg and seat selection.
~High payment for airport tax and admit fee.
~High payment for bus fee to airport (rm10)
~Has it's own walk way to aircraft. not confusing.

For me:
From Labuan to Kuala Lumpur, I prefer AirAsia because the take-off time is at 10.30am. The best time to fly. Malaysia Airlines is at 7.45am to early and 5.45pm to late.

From Kuala Lumpur to Labuan, I prefer Malaysia Airlines (6.45pm take-off time) because I dont need to over night at the airport compare to flying with AirAsia 7.50am take-off time, I can bring back home more things without worrys of over weight.

So, you be the panel of judge which is the best airlines!!
