Thai Airways And Singapore's Tiger To Form Budget Carrier

[NanLaew]

Just to be accurate, the fares you quote do not include the taxes and fees. For Bangkok to KL you have to add Bt. 700, plus the costs of any non-cabin baggage you may have and on-board food. Granted you don't need a meal on a short flight, but Air Asia, like most budget carriers, does not permit you to bring food or even water on board, even on their relatively new long haul service Air Asia X.

Eh? Wot? Me and my boy always have our own water, sandwiches, milk and/or cookies when we slum it with AirAsia. I mean what did they do to you, pass you through the food scanner? Or did they threaten to chuck you out the door at 32,000' when you tried to open your water bottle?

Of course the opposite extreme is on those dreadful Hajj charters when there's all sorts of funny goings on at the arse-end of the plane with portable gas stoves, funky smells and screaming goats.

Singapore is too small to do domestic flights. Now they can treat Thailand their own.
