비싼 항공료, 말레이시아 여행의 걸림돌

Expensive airfare: Is this another new norm for Malaysian travellers?

비싼 항공료, 환불불가.... 새로운 여행의 트랜드..

Ah Chong and Ah Lee, who have been friends for decades, decided one day that they would travel to Sydney, Australia together once the pandemic situation was better and travel bans were lifted. So, when Malaysia finally reopened its borders, and travel restrictions were also eased, the two friends quickly made plans for their trip.

They booked their tickets, which were already about 30% more expensive than pre-pandemic times, and proceeded to apply for their Australian visa. By then they were really looking forward to their holiday.

Unfortunately, one day before their departure day, Ah Chong and Ah Lee still had not gotten their visas approved. And if that wasn’t enough, they also realised that the tickets they had bought did not allow for a change in flight dates.

To top it all off, the tickets were not refundable either. They were devastated.
