For AirAsia it's Airbus A330. For Firefly it's ATR 72-500.<br /><br />I believe ATR 72-500 is larger than the Fokker you mentioned.khengsionghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388168568808671784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-26599285612301789722009-07-29T23:27:34.351+08:002009-07-29T23:27:34.351+08:00I experienced propeller plane before...

Mei Teng, I think the...Would AirAsia be cheaper? <br /><br />Mei Teng, I think the whole journey by air is really the same as overland because you have to factor in the early arrival, the queue at check-in counter, the waiting for take-off, the taxiing upon arrival, the luggage claim (if you've checked in luggage). It's only the flight time that is shorter by air than on land. <br /><br />The plus on using Firefly is probably it takes off from Subang instead of from Sepang - nearer to home. The plane looks kinda small though.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, KS.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-73326515088044910822009-07-29T14:54:55.791+08:002009-07-29T14:54:55.791+08:00who says budget airlines and Starbucks don’t click...who says budget airlines and Starbucks don’t click?!<br /><br />maybe there are ppl who saves on the flight tickets and spend it on good coffee instead ? ^O^迷迭香https://www.blogger.com/profile/14630986877189277115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-68605496925368326772009-07-29T14:04:07.679+08:002009-07-29T14:04:07.679+08:00so how's the overall experience with FireFly??...so how's the overall experience with FireFly?? as compared to other budget airlines??[SK]https://www.blogger.com/profile/01863360136363789539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-21115500651371064502009-07-29T12:01:20.487+08:002009-07-29T12:01:20.487+08:00Thanks for the info.
