AirAsia X axes flights to London, Paris, New Delhi and Mumbai (Part 2)

The last flight is slated on 31st March 2012. What a sad case. Was even thinking to fly to Paris / London in August until the recent announcement. Bad ...bad. KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 (Bernama) -- AirAsia X, the long haul, low fare affiliate of AirAsia, today announced the withdrawal of services to India (Mumbai and Delhi) and Europe (Paris, London) from its Kuala Lumpur hub, as part of a network realignment. The realignment is to focus on its core markets, AirAsiaX said in a statement. The last flight of the four weekly services to Mumbai is on Jan 31. As for New Delhi, the last flight is on March 22. Flights in March will also be reduced to four weekly services. The last flight to London is on March 31 while for Paris, it is March 30. AirAsia X is offering guests who hold bookings after these dates an alternative travel option at no additional cost, to mitigate the inconvenience caused as a result of the route withdrawals. All affected guests will receive an e-mail

AirAsia X axes flights to London, Paris, New Delhi and Mumbai (Part 1)

This is really a bad news! :( AirAsia X axes flights and the real loser is the traveller Friday Reflections - By B.K. Sidhu LONDON, Paris, New Delhi and Mumbai are off limits to low fares after March. AirAsia X (AAX) finally dropped a bombshell yesterday saying it was axing those routes. Mumbai will be off its radar screen by end-January and the rest in March. This has come after the airline's denial on cuts. I first broke the news on Dec 10 that AAX was "looking at giving up some routes, such as Mumbai and Europe, in exchange for Sydney and some China routes.'' Many of us can still remember the excitement when AirAsia head honco Tan Sri Tony Fernandes announced that AAX would fly people to London for as low as RM9.90 one way in 2007. Then AAX brought smiles to so many faces. However, yesterday it only brought sadness. Students studying in Britain had been happy and so were their relatives and friends. It was like a dream come true because at premium a

Inspiring piece - Learn to see things from fresh perspectives

I found this is so inspiring! A new year; a new job, a new home, a new phone, a new relationship... ... Monday Starters - By Soo Ewe Jin THE start of a new year can mean many things to different people. A new job, a new home, a new phone, a new relationship .... While it is good that we look forward to new things, the reality is that most of us will be stuck with that "same old, same old" feeling despite the dawn of a new year. But is it really that same old familiar feeling all the time? I do not think so. When we find ourselves caught in such a situation, our challenge should be to look at things from a new, and fresh, perspective. A dear friend, who is about to join the ranks of the retired, was reflecting on his career and I was most touched by what he had to share. Having served in very senior positions in a major company of Corporate Malaysia, one might expect him to crow about his "successes" and the "bottom lines" and lament about t
