Inaugural Flight from KUL to HDY - Welcome Crew in Hadyai International Airport
19 August 2010, Kuala Lumpur – AirAsia first started flights from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Hat Yai (HDY) on 5 August 2004 but stopped services 1 June 2006 when there were political unrests. 3 years later on 19 August 2010, AirAsia has resumed services to cater to visitors from Malaysia who, I hear, like to visit HDY for the food and to shop.
AirAsia operates a 1 hour 15 minutes daily flight at 11.45am from KUL and back to KUL at 12.35pm.
All in KUL – HDY round trip fare averages RM208.
There is a Merdeka promo currently. See details below.
Booking Period : 23 Aug 10 – 5 Sep 10
Travel Period: 3 Jan 11 – 31 Mar 11
All in Fare – RM114 (KUL – HDY round trip)
I was fortunate to experience the inaugural flight on AK 770 with 3 other bloggers from Malaysia and Indonesia.

Baggage Claim - Hadyai Airport Code - HDY. Don't you think it represents Holiday?? 
With my fascination of clouds, I couldn’t help snap these photos on my way to Hat Yai. Check out the great view from your window seat.

When the aircraft taxied and we disembarked, we were greeted by a huge welcome committee and members of the Thai media.

We were so engrossed with taking photos, by the time we cleared immigration which took a very long time, our luggage were the only ones left at the carousel. Priority handling with VIP tags weren’t that useful for us in this case.
