ONE-WAY ECONOMY FARE OF RM199 TO SINGAPORE ON MAS

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines(MAS) launched Friday
its
One Price, All Seats, All Flights online promotion.

The airline is offering a one-way economy class fare of RM199
nett(US$55.35) for travel on all flights from Malaysia to Singapore.

MAS reduced its all-in normal fares to Kuala Lumpur by more than
60 percent to stimulate travel demand and to encourage more travellers to
choose its services.

Its senior general manager, sales, Bernard Francis said the move was about
giving customers more choices and value for their money.

"We are offering nett fares which are all inclusive, meaning what you see
is
what you pay. It's not like low cost carriers where, even if there are offers of
free seats, you still need to tally up the bill which can include baggage
handling fees,priority boarding, administration fees and others.

"At the end of the day, when you compare the total, travelling on
MAS might be cheaper or just slightly more, making us the best travel choice as
we are a full service provider," he said in a statement Friday.

MAS also dropped its fares for flights from Langkawi, Penang, Kuching
and Kota Kinabalu to Singapore, offering similar RM199 nett one-way economy
class fares.

This represents a reduction of up to 72 percent of the lowest normal online
fares for the routes.

"Normally, airlines increase their air fares in December as it is a peak
travel month. We are doing the exact opposite in offering the lowest online fare
on all the routes between Malaysia and Singapore.

"We therefore encourage customers to take advantage of our best deals and
plan their travels to Singapore," Bernard said.

Online bookings are accepted from Nov 15-December 24 this year and for all
flights except MH 601, 602 and 617 from Singapore.

Booking for travel must be made at least seven days in advance. All
travel must be completed by the end of the year.
