The Grab-A- Deal and Balik Kampung fares which have been available online since March have been very popular among customers.
“In just slightly over a month, sales for Grab-A- Deal and Balik Kampung have hit more than RM17.5 million—RM12 million for Grab-A- Deal, and more than RM5.5 million for Balik Kampung. That’s incredible considering the economic situation we are in. This shows that if you give the public what they want – they will travel,” Jala also said.
The national carrier is also playing its part in promoting domestic tourism. “Seven of the nine fare options are available for domestic travel. Balik Kampung which is only for domestic travel has been selling like hot cakes, and the seats are sold out for the next 2 months,” he also said.
The other six fare options available for domestic travel are Business Companion, Economy+, Kids Fly Free, MHFlex 1+1, 80% off domestic & Asean and Grab-A-Deal.
