Malaysia Airlines or AirAsia?

I've been thinking of posting this article since people can't decide well which airlines to choose. However, I will try to list down all the pros and cons and strictly I say, this is just my opinions. It is your power to decide.

Malaysia Airlines System (MAS)

Pros:

• Malaysian Hospitality
• Free refreshments on board
• Check-in counter closes 1o minutes before departure
• You can choose your favourite seat via self check-in kiosk (KLIA)
• 20 kg luggage allowance
• Free newspapers
• Board the aircraft using jet way
• Highly trained pilot - Most of them are captains (need more than 100 flying hours to be a captain)
• Ticket price is reasonable provided that you book it 2 weeks earlier
• Skytrax 5 star airlines (only 6 in this whole world)
• You'll get your personal copy of Going Places, Malaysia Airlines' official magazine

Cons:

• Ticket price will be expensive if you book it near your travelling dates
• You can't check in if you arrived later than the allowed check-in time (KLIA)
• You cannot choose your seat in advance if you purchase MHlow ticket

AirAsia

Pros:

• Cheap ticket
• Skytrax low fare airlines
• Leather seats
• Huge option of refreshments on board (but I never try any of them before)
• Krispy Kreme donuts
• You can choose your favourite seat but you have to pay RM 9
• Board and disembark the aircraft using both of the aircraft's doors

Cons:

• You have to pay for check-in luggage
• Check-in counter closes 45 minutes before departure
• Board the aircraft using the 'movable ladder'
• Free refreshments are not available
• Good hospitality is rarely available
• Ticket price will be more expensive in the weekends and public holidays (Last time I checked, AirAsia's ticket is RM 20 more expensive than MAS's ticket for the last Hari Raya Aidilfitri and in the weekends, AirAsia's ticket price will be about the same as MAS's ticket
• Convenience fee of RM 10 is not so convenience

These are everything that I managed to list. Now, you decide. For me, I'll choose MAS because the price is reasonable or cheaper (free refreshments, 20 kg checked-in luggage allowance), safety and unbeatable Malaysian hospitality. But, I'll have to choose AirAsia if MAS's ticket is too expensive. But still, the best way to do is, when you want to buy ticket, just check with both airliners. It is better that way. Firefly? For me, too expensive and not worth it.
