Search from AK website, they will commence new flight from BKI to Macau at the end of the year. However, they have not announced it officially. AK 606 BKI MFM 14:45 17:40 1 3 4 6 AK 607 MFM BKI 18:10 21:00 1 3 4 6

Malaysia Airport is considering to expand the LCCT for accommodating up to 15 millions passengers. Maybe AK should consider swap the terminal with MAS.

If you come to Sibu during festival season and school holiday, you would agree that we do need a bigger terminal. The current check-in lounge is too small with only 10 check-in counters and is always crowded when there are two or more airplanes depart at the same time. This terminal was opened in 1994 and the passenger movement in SBW had reached 920,930 in 2005.

If I am correct, they will be mainly used on the Japan routes (especially, Tokyo and Fukuoka).

But Jet Star manage to fly their A320 from SIN to TPE and I think that might not be a problem.

Favourates: UK: MAN Europe: AMS (single roof) Asia: SIN (efficiency) and KUL (Home country) Sarawak: SBW (Hometown ) Dislikes: UK: LHR Asia: Dubai (rude staff)

Currently, AK's KUL-MFM route has been very popular among many budget travellers from Malaysia. They use this route as an entry point to HK and southern China. AK should seriously consider flying to Taiwan too as many budget travellers are currently going down to SIN to catch JetStar to TPE. Flight from KUL to Xiamen is also feasible.

off topic, AK will fly from KUL to Palembang very soon. saw this advertisement on their website.

From The Star MAS urged not to discontinue service to Stockholm BY NG SI HOOI STOCKHOLM: Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy has received a message from the tour agents, business community and airport authorities here strongly appealing to Malaysia Airlines (MAS) not to discontinue its Kuala Lumpur-Stockholm-New York route. “Even the Swedish government through its Industry, Employment and Communication Ministry has strongly appealed to us to reconsider the decision. “I will convey the appeal to the MAS management to look into it,†he told Malaysian reporters after meeting with Swedish Civil Aviation Administration Group (LFV) and Stockholm Arlanda Airport director-general Lars Rekke at the airport here on Thursday. However, Chan said the Government, which was the MAS major shareholder, normally would not interfere with decisions made by the MAS' management. “We seldom interfere with the decisions taken by MAS, especially when the decisions were made for the best interest of the airlines. MAS will discontinue the service from Jan 14 next year after operating for 20 months, since November 2004. Rekke said: “The air service between Kuala Lumpur and Stockholm has benefited the two nations in many ways such as investment, business promotion and tourism.†He said MAS, as a prestigious airline, had a great potential in Sweden and the 20 months service from Kuala Lumpur to Stockholm was a relatively short time to make the judgment. “We hope to convey our views on the decision. However, we fully respect any decision made by the MAS management and other relevant parties in Malaysia,†Rekke added.

Even when SBW opened in June 1994, I was there to witness one B734 arriving from Kuching had no space to park and had to wait for a F50 to leave for 30 minutes.

For A333, the first row of the rear Y-class section. This is next to a emergency exit, but opposite a cabin crew seat.

Previously in my case, out of four AK flights, three were delayed slightly less than 30 minutes and only one flight was delayed more than 30 minutes. So AK said, only one flight was delayed

i vote Qatar because their airbuses look sexy . Why not EK? I have tried them already and in my opinion, first class equipment, third class service.

Here in Britain, people are debating on the issue of 'passenger profiling'. In future, they may put more security check on Asian young males (especially those from south asia and middle east), rather than passengers from other regions. They were debating on this issue in the TV last week. Next time, when you travel to the UK, dont be surprise if the security staff invite you to a special room for questioning or more security check. My Vietnamese friend who travelled to US last month was asked to take-off his cloth and shoes in a security room. He wondered why only him had to go through such 'discriminated' process.

Air Berlin is expanding very fast. They even fly from Belfast City Airport to London Stansted at £19.00 only. Why British government allow them to enter to their domestic route to compete with BMI, Flybe, Easyjet and other local airlines?

All UK airports are affected currently, not only LHR. Passengers are required to check in two hours before flight and check-in counter will be closed one hour before flight. I have checked and BAA website and it seems that MH004 is not affected by the incident and is scheduled to arrive later in the afternoon. Most affected flights are to/ from US and those from continental Europe.

AK: EXTREMELY lucky to get cheap fare (not always cheap you know) MH: Require connection to a MH international flight.

plus morning flight on KUL-SBW-KUL.

According to news, Hainan Airlines will take over the Xian-KL route.

I don't see anything wrong to keep Supersaver for the benefits of everyone in Malaysia. Why is AK so angry about it?? I realise that even sometimes, AK fares are not always cheap as you could see in the promotion campaign. I have once found out the one way fare from KUL to SBW was more than RM350, which was more expensive than MAS. Given this kind of price level, I don't call it low-cost.

Initially, you didn't get any point from supersaver. Recently, after the turnaround plan, they allow 30% from supersaver. So, i guess Tamizi took the flight before the change was implemented.

I think the runway is capable of accommodating A330. Anyway, good to see AK has finally used A320 to SBW. More choice for people in Sibu.

Sad to know this. I used to go there when I was in KL to get hardcopy of MAS timetable. Like the B744 model in the ticketing office on the ground floor.

Trying to search MH website but cannot find MH SBW-KCH flight apart from 2 B734 they announced week ago. Together with AK 2 B733, I can't believe there are only 4 B737 daily between KCH and SBW. FAX is also not flying SBW and KCH.

Their fares are not cheaper than MH actually. What about the service? Any refreshment onboard?
