Off to Bali on Air Asia

Holiday! Holiday! Holiday! I'm finally off to Bali. But this is going to be one long trip to deepest darkest Bali. 3 hours on crappy Air Asia and another 3 hours by car/van to some secluded part of Bali. Counting the hours including travelling to LLCT I guess I could be on my way to Maldives instead :)

I've been whinge-ing to everyone about travelling on Air Asia. If I had a choice I would not be on Air Asia. Too bad MH ran out of tickets. I for one do not believe in this cheap air fare scam. In my particular case I paid rm780 for the fare. Additional rm50 for excess bagage (allowable 15kg, i'm travelling with 18kg-what decent female going on a 5day trip can limit herself to only 15kgs :) ) adding up to rm830. The average price of food plus drink on board is rm12 making it rm842. So plus the additional inconvenience and stress of having to walk to the plane lugging my laptop and handbag under the hot sun and up some steep steps to the plane would round up the airfare to rm900. Mh is around that price too. And you get the comfort of KLIA unlike the wet market environment of LCCT, 25kg baggage allowance and better crew, (less fake eyelashes-i'm hot(slut) looking, you're not attitude) friendlier and classier (they don't walk around with black garbage bags collecting trash)
service. So for me it's MH anytime. More value more frills.

I am an hour into the flight and the only good thing is that the flight is rather empty and I've got all 3 seats to myself. :) But not having anyone to chat with for another 2 hours will be a real challenge. Hence the blogging. :)
