Four new economy fare options from MAS

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is offering four new fare options for economy class travel that will provide customers value and choice while giving them full control of their travel experience.

Its managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Idris Jala said the four fare choices, MHlow Fares, MHbasic, MHsmart and MHflex, are currently available for domestic travel.

He said for international travel, the national carrier planned to introduce it in February next year.

Explaining further the new fare options, Idris said MHlow fares offers up to a 70% ticket discount and required 30 days advance purchase, MHbasic offers a 50% ticket discount and only requires 14 days advance purchase, MHsmart allows a baggage allowance of up to 25kg and 75% Enrich miles accrual while MHflex offers businessmen the most flexible ticket, in providing 125% Enrich miles accrual.

“We are all multiple type travellers depending on the occasion and our new fare options have been customised to cater to the different travel needs,” he said during a media briefing on the new fare options here on Monday.

The only thing really stopping me taking MH is that their Enrich miles are virtually useless, even when i was based in KL before.

Or their lack of alliance membership, which would've easily circumvented the issue of poor FFP.

[quik!]

PITA to deal with.

3 months to get my cancelled ticket reimbursement (still haven't got it). 2-3 weeks with SQ.

I flew MH F about 10 times from LAX to TPE and collected miles on Delta (and then NW when Delta stopped accruing MH miles). Then, used Delta miles to get free SQ flights when possible!
