    I was doing some research on YouTube for some upcoming flights and was surprised to see that -MLF and -MLH have been reconfigured and now feature the new slimline seats as found on -MLJ. 
     

    Does anyone know if -MLG and -MLI have also been done? 

    Currently MLG is the only aircraft with the old seats. MLI has reconfigured for new seats as well as its modified sky lighting in the cabin.

    Does anyone know what FY's SZB bag drop deadline is? I recall pre-Covid they had a rather unreasonable deadline (60 mins) for bags, which seemed entirely unnecessary for an airport like SZB.

    Looking through their CoC, it says the counters close 30 mins before, but I'm not sure if it's any different with bags.

     

     


    Their TOC when tickets are issued. 

    Our check-in counters for flights using ATR72-500 aircraft are open ninety (90) minutes and close thirty (30) minutes before the domestic scheduled flight departure time and forty five (45) minutes for international scheduled flight departure time and for flights using B737-800 aircraft, check-in counter are open hundred and twenty (120) minutes and closed forty five (45) minutes before for domestic and international scheduled flight. Check-in deadlines may vary at different airports and for particular flights; it is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with these deadlines, the particulars of which will be available at the time you make your booking.

  5. Conclusion do lies upon the investigation. But believed this incident will twist the whole aviation world a new rule. No aircraft psssing if there's warzone or conflict happening. Perhaps no more departing, arriving, passing through any area which involves conflict.

     

    Flight Dispatchers, ATC and pilots are trained to lead passengers with safety, comfort and economical. No way aircraft are flown in a way that due to fuel saving, you have to cut short the route. Most probably, if possible, airways can be removed from the certain country if involving critical issues, and that depends on the local aviation authority.

     

    It's astonished that 2 aircraft were shot down and they were not removing the particular route. And since MH17 was downed, everyone is blaming on the airline. There are different issues to be concerned but the most significant issue is the closure of the route. I believe two aircraft involving shot down should reconsider involving the Ukraine aviation authority for not putting this to the issue.

     

    Just my 2 cents.


  6. Nice shots over there. Let me share my "biasa" spotting at old usual place. Back into action for Jalan Selangor :)

  7. There are numerous keypoints I'm not understand, that this flight MH370 indeed full of mysterious questions~

     

    1) What makes the coincidence of disappearance from Radar upon the exchange contact between Vietnam and Malaysia?

    2) What is the purpose of deactivating the transponder?

    3) What's the purpose of descending the aircraft to a lower altitude since they had made a statement that the military radar detected a blip?

    4) If blip is detected and unknown, the military aircraft should propose an intercepting flight. But there's no action taking place, Why?

    5) If emergency has been taken place, wouldn't be wise for pilots to fly straight ahead to land at Ho Chi Minh City since the plane is at high altitude and jettison the fuel if required?

    6) The endup of MH370 is located at South Indian Ocean, which is just West of Perth. The doubt I'm having here is if MH370 passes through Indonesia and Straits of Malacca, wouldn't they detect the aircraft from primary radars?

    7) Previous posts showing that there's sightings of military radar in Thailand and Malaysia. If there's blip over Thailand , what's the course they are heading to? And what makes their flight alter from North to South which is not logical at all. And the fuel shouldn't be sufficient to reach over South Indian Ocean.

    8) Lastly, what's the purpose of altering the track from original flight path?

    So many doubts yet still confusion exists. Plot Thickens.
