Upon our checkup on Firefly website, we found a good deal for students to take advantage of ticket discount on Firefly!
Please note that the discount only applies to flight fare. Taxes, surcharges and fees are excluded and their costs must be borne by KADS1M holders.
Since this is a 1Malaysia initiative, it is a new effort by the government and very prone to changes and abolishment in the future.
Please visit Firefly website for more information and changes in the future (if there is any).
Although Firefly uses smaller aircrafts, it allows you to have up to 20 kg of baggage allowance, apart from compliementary snacks and drinks onboard. We find it to be very convenient to customers. However, if you opt for no-frills carrier, then we think AirAsia should be your choice of airline.
