Malaysian Airlines To Bangkok

[dieseldick]

maybe they will drop prices now since these terrible atrocities, i imagine not too many people want to travel with them and they need to fill seats.

thinking of booking in late sept from dublin to bangkok

Malaysian Airlines are a very good comp Diesel, we have travelled with the a few times from K.L. to Brisbaine never had no trouble, it's not the Airline its the evil basds that's around the world. I don't see why they should drop their prices though!

[Zacs-Master]

An awful lot if people are still nervous about flying. Couple that with superstition / belief in coincidences and I can see a downturn in Malaysian Airways bookings which could lead to a lowering of prices.

[TWR]

The plane should never have taken that route Zac, there was an alternative, but who made the decision to fly that way is another Q.

[Zacs-Master]

Probably driven by profit margins (might have cost more to go another way) and performance stats (keeping to time).

[inksplotter]

They may change their name. A lot of companies do when they get a bad rep.

[Peter Pedant]

well the shares have dropped 48% over the year

so fly but dont buy ( the shares )

Ouchee, DD - a bit like wondering if the King's Cross fire would lower tube fares?

Moz - sweet gurl

as an archeologist you arent on much ( coz you cant sell what you find ) so Egypt was damned cheap last year and this - and Jordan is this year
( is cheap to go to and stay ) - as a pensioner I am similarly constrained


and you know really rough places ( Syria, Aleppo, East Ukraine etc ) one way tickets are available....


You have an innate frasp of the markets and how they move DD

[Mosaic]

Eh?

[Zacs-Master]

Not at all like the KX fire. There is no alternative to the underground. There are many alternatives to an aircraft journey.

Malaysian airlines have been having a hard time financially for a while now. In view of that, I don't think they'll want to lower their prices. But who knows?

[237SJ]

If a plane is empty, the prices will reflect that. Then again, they might reduce capacity in which case there probably won`t be any deals. It might be worth keeping an eye out though. Prices to Bangkok were quite competitive every time the troubles flared up. I hope Malaysian don`t go the way of Pan Am - Lockerbie finished them. They might re-brand.

[237SJ]

Here`s an example of the kind of practices that can go on behind the scenes when an airline is struggling. The passengers don`t see it but people remember and all of these different issues that have happened over the years can be quite damaging to business. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/339810.stm

[Zacs-Master]

Quite worrying 237.

[tamborine]

Cant blame the airline for mans error.

every breath is a life risk!

[Zacs-Master]

What a strange turn of phrase.

[Prudie]

Have to admit, very unfairly, that I wouldn't book Malaysian airlines now, but I'm already a nervous flyer.

[dieseldick]
