Medan Kota

Air Asia is the first budget airline that operates from Medan… when it first started out with this Town.. not many of the locals heard or knew what budget airlines were… everyone has this idea that it was dangerous and unsafe to take… (Medan is kind of slow…. slower to know of most things from the outside world..)..  but well not for me…

So with that, I was among their first few loyaltyclients that use their services… having flown Singapore Airlines and constantly paying thousands of US$ each time I go back to Bangkok… Air Asia to me was a godsend… the initial promotions were about just ¼ of what I paid on SQ…

I remembered then that during the checked in or while waiting for flights at the Polonia airport, many times I met people who know me, who were then surprised how I chose to fly budget… they weren’t just giving me an unapproving look.. words were said how disgraceful.. unsafe.. unhygienic etc… but what these people didn’t know was that… not many people were taking up the offer.. so the plane was often less than 50% occupied… I remembered paying 3 adults + 2 infants.. and we had like 9 seats … which the boys were lying flat asleep… including myself…

Then as it became popular… the airline is no longer so budget anymore… so I often shopped around now… then guessed what… ALL the people who were saying all the negatives stuff to me, well.. I have not seen one of them NOT using the budget airlines services… As for now… I choose to fly with which ever airlines that provides me with the most convenient…
