I Don't Wanna Die on a LCC

On March 16, I will be boarding on a low-cost carrier (AirAsia) back to Malaysia. The purpose of my travel is to attend my Sister's wedding registration. 


I've heard plenty about the quality of flying internationally with AirAsia. And frankly, they were so bad that I had a very hard time deciding between MAS and AA. For the sake of saving $600 AUD, I chose to sacrifice comfort and endure extreme boredom for 8 hours (not to mention a risk of back scoliosis). But for half the price I pay for MAS, what do I expect? 

Suddenly, a scenario popped into my mind. A LCC aircrash! 
Perhaps is the Hudson River Aircrash,  or the emails circulating around about AirAsia's coverups regarding their faulty plane landings, or Qantas's exploding oxygen tank.



It would be so, so GHEY to die on a LCC airplane.
It's like buying a coffin that is on 50% sale.

If an aircrash were to happen, the paramedics picking up my remnants would surely have one thought in their minds, 'Cheap bastard, sucks to be him'.

Ideally, I prefer sitting on an airplane equivalent to Air Force One and business class.
Now that's a cool way to travel towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

*Also, a beautiful lady passanger by my side please. Flight attendants will do as well. :)

LCCs are cheap because they cut down on operating costs (manpower, airports) and not the safety of passengers.

Just my 2 cents
