A New " Checked Baggage Handling Fee" from Airasia

This morning, I got notice one of the advertisement by Airasia, stating there is a new cost added, called Checked Baggage Handling Fee, in which people who travel with Airasia have to register their checked baggage before or during check - in process, and PAY for it. The good news is if you register 24 hours before the departure time, you will get discounts, but the bad news is .... YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY.

First, I found the new add-on are rather annoying, because it should have included in the service of airline, and not should be us who should claim how many baggage we took during our journey, and WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, but after i browse on the policy regarding this, the site claims that it meant to lower the cost for those who travels without baggages (only Hand luggage), in which it pull out the handling fee from the fare.

But still, sometimes society are asking for convenience and efficiency compare to prices. I can't tell whether Airasia has been thinking about the statement above when they plan to launch the idea. Well, it's just USD 1 difference, in which we can tell that almost nobody will scream when they pay USD 1 or 2 in exchange for convenience.

This morning, while checking my email, I found one interesting website in the ads by Google, well.... the site is called http://www.rumah123.com/, and apparently it turned to be a property site that can help those who don't have time to go over tons of property site just to choose ONE. I will say it is a breakthrough for property industry, in which, those property agents have to think over again, in which nowadays, people have no time to shop and look around for properties, because even Women insist of squeezing their time for shopping rather than do households activities.







Well, back to the site again, it can help future customers to do comparison, minimize their scale of search which fit their budget and location of the property. But the most interesting is that it charge so DAMN cheap for the listing.








The main idea of the site is that they are helping the properties' agents to market their properties, and which they claim that they didn't get a penny of the commission of helping those property agents to sell. Well, I would say this is WHAT a property agents need, despite from the connections that the agents have been developed so many years, but then.... a way to reach a massive potential markets is also important for those agents to find new customers.

My opinion said the effect of listing property in this site is that it just look like the property agents having property exhibition in one of the shopping mall, in which there are lots of people come to look and compare the property. WHAT A NICE CONCEPT...
