Any guess for why CMB-TRZ is doing good ? because of Baggage allowance
and no guesses on how MJ is flying with a full-house ..
BTW, Mihin's website's tag line is Cheap flights to Dhaka, Colombo and Jakarta with "FREE MEALS AND BAGGAGE .. "
Then again, I can't figure out how they price SIN-CMB-SIN, at 2048 S$ - virtually more than twice UL's fare .. are they on a mission to discourage traffic ex-Singapore, to cover up the cargo space ?Comment

Anyway @4R-SRD - Do you find TK's CMB fares are attractive ? @Spookyflyer & Uthum - Any idea about the cabin configuration for TK's A330/A340 ? Do they have first class operating for CMB flight ?Turkish Airlines to Launch Sri Lanka Service from Feb 2013
