System Glitch grounds Firefly Mega Sale Promotion

Just read the newspaper and understood that Firefly's Mega Sale promotion has been put on hold following a system glitch. The airline needs to fix the problem first and hopefully the promotion can take effect soon. No wonder I was having problem to get any deal yesterday.

I have tried Airasia's RM 3 deal today. It is not as much or easy like what you can get during their previous promotions. So, I am going to give up and try to get the Firefly's deal once their problem is being fixed.

However, I managed to book the return tickets for my maid to Manila next year as her contract is expiring in May. The total cost is only RM91 if I do not add on the baggage, seats, insurance, convenience fees. When added up all the miscellaneous cost, the cost is  still less than RM 200. It is a very good deal.

As a temporary measure when my maid is back home for a month. I have requested/booked my previous confinement lady to come and help in her absent. I think it is quite a good arrangement and we can still work and again, I can trust her too with the children but of course, the damage is, you need to pay her a higher fee than the maid's usual salary.

FireFlyz and Air asia Sale

Fireflyz is having their sale starting from 11 Jul to 12 Jul. The deal is RM9 one way for selected destinations and there are 1 million seats up for grab.

I started to check on the deal early this morning on their incredible deals. The page only shows e.g.  Subang to Langkawi at RM 29 each way. So where is the RM9 deals?

Then, I tried again in the afternoon, and the deal of RM9 came out and shown the travelling period up to Oct 2012. However, I have checked month by month from Dec 11 to Mar 12, I couldn't see a single offer of RM9.

Then, I tried again late afternoon, the deal of RM9 is still on by the flying period has been shorten to Mar 2012, and I tried again month by month, the RM9 is still not available. 

So, is this a real deal or not? Anybody out there got lucky and manage to get the RM9 deal? I was looking  forward to book for the whole family to go Langkawi again. The kids seem to be really enjoyed their last stay there. The twins of 19 months can even said 'kawi, kawi' and when I asked them whether they want to go Langkawi again, they all said 'Yes'.

However, never give up. Start midnight on 12 July, Air asia is having the RM3 sales! So, good luck to all and this time, I hope I can manage to grab this fantastic deals. The last time when Air asia was offering their RM1 deals, I managed to get that till last step for payment, the system error got into me and no way I can get the bargain back again after numerous trials and time wasted.
