any folks ever missed your budget airline flight before? a very painful experience. last minute booking on the spot for one way ticket to Singapore is around 5660B or more. that is around S$250!

their 45 min check in time before departure ruling is very strict these days. non negotiable man. have seen many passengers got turned away before.

If the custom damn long then you siao liao... esp. some nationality take a long time infront to clear custom which i don't understand y? after all the custom Q, best is your boarding gate is the furthest one!!! KNN... I ever run like madness all the way to the gate... by the time I board the plane... I'm perspiring like hell and catching breath... Thai airasia is best... got shuttle bus to catch somemore... unbelievable got one time the plane delay for near 20mins becuz its the last flight of the day and some lucky fellow arrive at the gate at the very last second.. so everyone waited for them... so we know ticket put gate close at blahblah time... do not include the shuttle bus time..damn.

sometimes really 人算不如天算. knn...

No more taking Jetstar. Not really cheaper by a lot and paying a bit more can have better flights like TG or Cathay.

My last exp with Jetstar, flight delay for >5 hours and I reached SG at 3plus in morning

That depend when you booked your ticket. Normally, the mid week flight will be much cheaper than weekend or holidays period and I just check a booking for 12/2 & return on 22/2 and the price quoted at $194 ($20/20 return plus $154 surcharge). Sometime, flight delay is normal, worse will be the cancellation when they have only one flight per day and let alone once per week. Of course, flying with SQ or TG will be must better as they have alot flights per day and one can easily change to the next or earlier flight without any charges.

Do note, Tiger will from April cancel most of the flights to Thailand and left with only one flight to Bkk at 6am.

Report from Business Times (Malaysia) dated Friday 25 January 2008 :-

AirAsia to fly JB-Bangkok route from Feb 25, 2008

BANGKOK : AirAsia is expected to ply the Bangkok-Johor Baru route beginning February 25, 2008 with four flights a week.

The once-daily flight will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

An airline official said Bangkok will be the first destination in Thailand from Johor Baru, targeting Johoreans, Singaporeans and also those flying into the city from Sabah and Sarawak.

Besides Bangkok, AirAsia will also fly to Medan and Surabaya from Johor Baru soon, he said.

AirAsia and its Thai subsidiary, Thai AirAsia, now operate seven flights daily from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, as well as serving Krabi, Phuket and Chiang Mai, on top of the Penang-Bangkok route.

The Bangkok-Langkawi and Bangkok-Kota Kinabalu services were discontinued last year due to low passenger load.

It's learnt that Thai AirAsia was not keen to operate the Johor Baru-Bangkok route as it wanted to concentrate on strengthening its existing destinations while looking into the possibility of entering the Bangkok-Jakarta route and expanding its China base
