One of the most memorable trips we ever took was to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia from 28 April to 02 May 2005. It was the very first time my entire family travelled together outside the Philippines. There was 10 of us all in all: My Mom, my family of 3 and my brother’s family of 6.
First to board were families travelling with children.
Abby was only 8 months old.
Abby and her cousin Sophie, youngest daughter of my brother.
That time, we took advantage of the cheap flights being offered by Air Asia, which was just starting to introduce flights to and from Clark in Pampanga to Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. If I remember correctly, we paid less than Php 4000.00 per head. Abby’s fare was only around Php 300.00 because she was only 8 months old that time and sat on my lap.
It was our first time to use a so-called “budget airline”. Seats were first-come first-served and if one wants to eat something during the flight, food will have to be paid for. Hee hee. Since we were travelling with kids, it wasn’t a problem that we didn’t have reserved seats. We were first to board the plane. That’s one of the advantages of travelling with children. 
I’ll tell you more about our adventures in Malaysia in upcoming entries. Promise.

Weng, ang saya naman. It is really so fun if you travel with the whole family.
I haven’t ridden those budget airlines yet but we got a good discount during oiur last trip to the UAE. Natuwa ako kasi I thought mga gimmick lang ng airlines yon. Totoo pala!

Weng, Air Asia used to give priority first to senior citizens and adults with children. But now they have changed their policy. There is still priority seating but one has to pay RM20.00. And you can order your food online when you book your ticket:-)
In Malaysia, Air Asia and Malaysian Airlines are competing for Zero fare!!! That means you only pay for taxes and fuel surcharge. Now everyone can fly!!!
