Can you further justify your opinion?

I notice that MH51 equipment has been changed. It is downgraded to A330, or rather an upgrade(capacity wise)?

What the???

There are some minor but noticeable grammar mistakes (Travel in comfort and style sacrificing value of money, Before You Flight, Don't miss or promotions !, and Selektar, Singapura???) ....And they should be more honest in their photo slideshow too.

There was also EVA Air...

The 777, will BI acquire brand new or otherwise?

Yes, United Airlines website do state BKI as one of their destination albeit through codesharing with Asiana...

JANET airlines (for transporting Groom Lake 'Area 51' employees back and forth from Las Vegas to the facility)...

The red stripe makes the aircraft looks so 70's/80's...

hmmm, It's a B772...

B773ER maybe?

I notice the contractor installed railing on the edge of the terminal's roof.

the sound that the engines of the boeing 707 created yesterday...beats all other aircraft types even including boeing 747 (fighter jets excluded)

Sorry, not Ukrainian Air Force, its the Czech Republic Air Force...and the route is Hanoi to Frankfurt...not Frankfurt to Saigon From "Der Spiegel" online edition: (rough translation): A story is just emerging as to how about 200 passengers on a Vietnam Airlines 777 flying from Hanoi to Frankfurt just narrowly escaped being shot down. According to "Viet Nam Net" the 777 was en route during the night of 17/18 April, using air space in Ukraine, Poland and the Czech Republic for over 65 minutes without any radio communications. As the plane deviated from the prescribed flight path, Czech authorities were prepared to shoot it down, according to "Viet Nam Net" online magazine. Jan Pejsek of the Czech Ministry of Defence confirmed these events to Der Spiegel in principle. At 0545 on 18th April 2006, Czech Air Force personnel detected what to them was an unidentifable aircraft which had not communicated with Prague ATC. Considering the possibility that this could be an unfriendly military aircraft, two fighter jets were sent up to intercept the plane. However, the target turned out to be a Vietnamese civilian jet, and a few minutes after visual contact with the fighter jets, radio communications were established. According to Vietnamese media reports, the fighter pilots were astonished to see that both pilots of the Vietnam Airlines plane were asleep. "They were asleep and had the plane flying on autopilot for one hour and five minutes", says "Viet Nam Net". There is neither confirmation or rejection of this from Czech authorities. Whilst Vietnam Airlines have denied the report, the entire crew, including cabin crew has been suspended. (Apparently, there are standing orders for a cabin crew member to visit the cockpit every 15 minutes to establish that all is well up front). The report goes on to describe various scandals that have shaken Vietnam Airlines, including the recent arrest of F/O Tran Van Dang at Sydney for trying to take out US$ 500,000 from Australia without declaring this money.

Similar incident happened to Vietnam Airlines B777 when both pilots of the jetliner fell asleep somewhere over Ukraine while doing FRA-SGN route...the Ukrainian Air Force pilots had to chase the aircraft after no response to the ATC...

Perhaps next time our administrator should highlight the username rule for future new forumers...this rule can get unnoticed by them when signing up.

Hai...nak kena mamat nih ...sorry joke, joke... but seriously your blog his anything but full of bias...I am satisfied with MH and AK without a doubt...one of the things (apart from the level of service, which i don't really complain) is the aircraft types...MH use older 737 and AK use newer A320...sometimes I am fed up with this Malaysia related bashing as if nothing is good about Malaysia.

Pity the SQ777 will gone soon (hope it will be temporary only)...as far as I know PEN is the few secondary cities served by SQ B777 in South East Asia. Others would be DPS and SGN right?

I was affected that day. my flight to BKI was delayed for 2.5 hours. AK6001 landed at around noon and soon followed by SQ192. I was already high in Balik Kampung Raya mood when this delay happened.

that reminds me of Apollo tragedy killing all three while doing testing...

You study at USM? They should at least sharpen those rough edges on the snackbox, then it will look as if it is high quality built(although its still look cheap)...

The pilot gone steps further to ensure security inside aircraft...

I thought SQ already deployed A380 to HKG...

Its Airbus day parade, yeah Three widebodies at once...

Personally I prefer 'Wings of Gold', more classy. Frankly, 'Going Places' never suits my ears, really...
