  1. Today
  2. Don't think anyone is proud or happy with how bus queue is organised at satellite terminal.
  3. I dun think they have a system to track those folks and filter them out. Not forgetting enrich is pretty much an empty skeleton dept now.
  4. Oh dear, this won't go down well for those who want to freshen up before heading downtown for meeting. I believe MH is one of the few airlines, or maybe the only one who does this. They can always not do those 2x/3x elite points promotion to control the crowd.
  5. Yesterday
  6. I checked with the staff last night and thy confirmed it. I also passed them the screenshots of the MH website and response that a friend received from CS informing that you can use the international lounges upon arrival. The story was also passed to the LoyaltyLobby site by somebody (not me) and has now been published. Ive emailed a few senior MH people about this and awaiting the response. Whats bad is that the lounge staff said that Enrich had informed that at all members had been emailed but nothing has been received by anyone that I know. They are also annoyed that management are not taking the website details down etc, The staff also fed back that since late last year the number of people using the lounge for approvals has grown exponentially. I guess that the December triple points promo, upgrading/renewing those that didn't quite qualify and FY flights earning substantially more tier points has caused this.
  7. MH has removed arrival lounge access/ benefit for those arriving into KLIA. Making a big hoo-ha now at social media. Any true?
  8. It seems there will be flight from Tehran (Imam Khomeini) by Mahan Air to KL starting on March 21. Flight will be operated on every Thursday: https://www.mahanair.co.ir/en/booking/passenger
  9. China Airlines (CI) has inducted B-18919 ex-SAS SE-RSA MSN 358 into service, the sibling of MH's 9M-MAH MSN 378. CI has uploaded its seat map on their website, but MH has not updated theirs though.
  10. AirAsia Resumes Kuala Lumpur – Utapao Service in June 2024 AirAsia from June 2024 plans to resume service to Pattaya, with as the airline recently opened reservations for Kuala Lumpur – Utapao route. From 17JUN24, Airbus A320 aircraft will operate this route 3 times weekly. AK840 KUL1100 – 1205UTP 320 157 AK841 UTP1235 – 1530KUL 320 157 This route was last served until March 2020. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/240318-akjun24utp
  11. Last week
  12. Cambodia Airways will launch its first flight from Phnom Penh to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on April 11, 2024. The flight will operate three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=712793444392509&set=a.548192870852568
  13. It appears that MU will be resuming PKX-KUL beginning late April. MU795 PKX1700 – 2350KUL 332 Dx246 MU796 KUL0055 – 0710PKX 332 Dx357 And CZ will up gauge CZ 8301/8302 (mid day departure ex-CAN and 1800 departure ex-KUL) to 789, making 2x daily 789 to KUL.
  14. New flights from PRC were launched at decent hours. MU's and GJ's HGH-KUL, MF's CKG-KUL as well as CA's TFU-KUL came to mind. 3U's TFU-KUL is decent but KUL-TFU is a red-eye that's blocked at 5:30 even though CA, OD, and D7 blocks it around 4:30-4:45. Anyway, this is only scheduled to run for a month. We shall see.
  15. They've got dozen's of planes doing overnight red-eyes.
  16. PRC and Korean tourists to BKI are mostly holiday makers and seasonal. PRC airlines often use redeye flight to test the market/route. If load is justified, they may move to day time.
  17. From where you got info that OD not planning to return to SZB with jet operations? In this article, Chandran mentioned that they are interested to start jet operations once the airport is ready because they have the slots already: https://www.nst.com.my/business/corporate/2023/10/971775/batik-air-malaysia-add-three-more-aircraft-year-end-expansion-asia "We're preparing ourselves to have more jets subject to regulatory approval and the opening up of Subang Airport for jet operations.""If Subang (Airport) is opening up with jet (operations), then we can immediately get into that market because we have the slots available. We have our ground handling available. We have all the infrastructure," Chandran said."
  18. SQ Group definitely has this in their mind. Just saw someone booked SBW-EWR, with 37 hours layover. LOL. They will definitely do KUA/MYY/SBW/KCH-PER/SYD/MEL/BNE. A walk in the park for them.......
  19. Looks like some ramp work is being conducted from bay 36 onwards.
  20. Subang Airport road is like a cancer spreading from time to time. There was no central planning for this road. Everytime a developer builds, the road gets widened, The section between Citta Mall and NKVE interchange was not widened and became a bottleneck. Past that, NKVE traffic pouring out of the highway caused congestion and the jam is there most times of the day - its only a question of how long the tailbacks are. Seriously, SZB's capacity must be compromised because of the transportation problems. KTM must really step up and provide a good, high frequency service from Sentral. Otherwise, the investment put into building that line is really wasted.
  21. The problem with that is a lot of traffic are bound for Ara Damansara and they all get stuck at the Sime Darby flyover/traffic light. And there's a huge bottleneck near the Glenmarie LRT station. It's concrete beams all over making the road there as good as it gets. If they can get a spur line running through Ara Damansara to SZB, I think that'll alleviate a bit of traffic.
  22. Heard some of the GA companies and etc will be relocating near the former T1 area. The AFRS will be moving to the opposite end of the runway near the TUDM area. Airod and NADI will stayput. Technically SZB airport will be the combination of Skypark and the old T2 area. I agree with you they need to settle the road asap. The road along Cita mall during evening is madness lol and i got caught up in it twice that i personally avoid it like a plague.
  23. I am pretty sure MH wants to use SZB. AK was begging to stay at SZB last time and I'd be very surprised if they don't want to begin operations there again. This is not only limited to domestic but regional as well. And if neither airlines apply for slots, they will lose the ability to apply when demand grows because it will be a slot restricted airport. That looks like former T2 along with (former?) Airod, DCA and Met Office area? What happened to the former T1 area? IIRC, it was meant to be some hangar or engineering building but I don't recall seeing anything there. Isn't ex-T1 land better? It's larger (and IIRC, it has at least 14 gates back then) and a huge parking facility and it's closer to the roundabout. Subang Airport Road isn't the best right now and getting in there between 5 and 7:30 is a huge pain. Can't imagine catching a 6-8 PM flight there.I hope there are plans to either have a spur LRT line from the Kelana Line or the KTM Subang Skypark link running at least every 30 minutes for people to take it (not too sure if heavy rail is the best answer either). A spur link will be the best since it can effectively decrease headways for the busier part of the Kelana line. I don't think it's a Scoot destination. It's more likely a SQ mainline destination. I can imagine it'd be a premium flight. The most affluent neighborhoods around Klang Valley are within 20-25 minutes drive (without traffic) of SZB. Hopefully it's not WCT/Pavilion Group developing this project 😅. They aren't the best (and I am being very polite) but from their last press release, it seems like it's WCT 😓. Hopefully they will include some sort of rail link or at worst, pedestrian friendly walk to the current KTM station. They aren't known for designing anything with pedestrians in mind to maximize parking charges (e.g. Pavilion Damansara Heights).
  24. Heard the land area at those location will be sold to a GLC entity. The only thing left still operating is some of the leftover MAS SIM centre which is still pending the completion of the KLIA south zone sim building. But for the adjacent MAS hangar those are now operated by SIA engineering. Heard this new terminal for phase 3 will include a mall LOL i just hope its not one of those gotta walk through the shopping mall before check in like KLIA 2.
  25. SKS Airways is now dead though, not sure if we can resuscitate it back as 'Frankenstein'. For Scoot, their flight are sold as SQ flight as well, not sure if SQ will bite the bullet, unless they set up a different team to handle flight to and from SZB. Also, SQ/MH are in JV, that would be complicate. The only party I can see taking up the offer is AirAsia, but they won't be able to offer FlyThru services. I can see them flying SZB-PEN, LGK, KBR, KCH, BKI, DMK/BKK, SIN and CGK. They would earn a bomb with these routes.
  26. SKS and perhaps Singapore's Scoot will. Wouldn't be surprised if AK wants to return as well.
  27. Would suggest you book SamaSama landside instead. Collect bags normally and then check in the next morning at SV counters. Its relatively a short walk/buggy service from domestic arrival to the hotel. You wont be able to proceed to SamaSama express airside at the satellite terminal without checking in and clearing immigration. Unless MYY agent checks in for your SV flight with your bags tagged all the way.
  28. Drove past the airport a few weeks ago, the area across the the airport, those ex-Malaysia Airlines buildings, and sports complex are now all hoarded up.
