It was also devalued a few months ago when they removed the 15% online bonus.....

Ah yes. Then I'd go with that.

Unfortunately the safe havens of AA and BA have also undergone devaluations recently - but if you have the ability to fulfill their "own metal" requirement for elite status, those two are still decent.

I expect similar levels of increases as what's been announced for the partner award and upgrades. You'll probably be paying close to 200K for an RT KUL-LHR J award. I once paid 55K RT not so long ago... just to drag up an old memory.

No need to wait. Think of this as musical chairs. When the music stops June 10 - if you're still standing and pregnant with Enrich points you lose.

I disagree with your assessment. If KA sends 33R's and sells only 8 J seats.. then KA is better /facetious mode off

Yay. Can I pay PY prices too?

Tonight should be the last 149 and possibly the last 123 with the 380 for this round. Little brother is on 149, and OLCI'ed into 1A, but got proactively moved to 9G. They're closing off F (from assignment by J pax), as well as the upper deck Y section.(from assignment by Y pax)

320's from the 500 series gates. Not my idea of fun

I better start going to the gym. Too many spare tyre (Michelin brand).....

Anyway....... You DO realise that these statements are in defense of MH, not in criticism of it? The real dig is at the keyboard warriors cum FB armchair aviation experts criticizing MH when they weren't there that night. I grant you it's a brand of humor not everyone gets and the true meaning is hidden in wit.... because clearly very few people got the slides deployment line. All said, that's what it is - the cynicism/dry humor/sarcasm or whatever you want to call it has nothing to do with "painting any picture". It's a reminder that nobody really knows what happened and waiting for the official report is wise. And trust me, these comments aren't emotionally driven at all. Far from it. It's typed with a wry smile Like with any incident, a gajillion keyboard warriors weren't at the scene of the accident, but as usual on some social media.. they're going great guns posting assumptions with technical and factual data they do not have. Somehow, inevitably, MH370/17 and no peanuts in nasi lemak gets dragged into it...... This "armchair expert" phenomenon happens in many an industry of public interest, ( I say public interest cause nobody really cares about how they make kitty litter for example) - and it is to these armchair experts that the jabs are pointed.... Not MH, not the Skipper, not SBW, not BKI, not the "weather" and certainly not MH cost cutting by cutting slide deployment

Just overall poor judgement and penny pinching. What were they thinking of, landing at 2245pm? Why didn't they just circle until dawn at about 7am and landed then?

I just grabbed my popcorn and found a nice seat to watch this explode. My question is: Why didn't MH change the weather to land in the dry? These cost cutting measures HAVE TO STOP!

Because in the new regime of cost cutting, MH does not FIM to any other airline anymore. Rarer than hen's teeth.

It's a tragedy. The decreases in fuel surcharges are far outweighed by the increased cost to buy these miles.

This fare is good but isn't that great. There was another TK one a short while back for about 5500 to MAN. Overall product is decent - with a fairly good lounge in IST. Onboard Chef in long haul J, catering by Do and Co. Wifi is free if the plane is so equipped (problem with it being free is that it becomes pretty slow to the point of being unusable if there are too many users). The above pic is the exact seat as Jani has posted above. Maybe not quite First Class levels (it's 2-2-2 on the 333 and 2-3-2 on the 77W so no direct aisle access for all) - but it is very comfortable indeed.

I came close to flying United KUL-DAC once. Needed to go last minute and was only rescued by a "I'm sick and can only fly tomorrow" stunt i thought of ...

Try the post office. A former minister of semi value once said - Hari Ini Kirim, semalam sudah sampai. 😝

Believe so too. But anyway. It IS temporary

In PEN now. MH is using plaza premium here now. Apparently this is temporary whilst they renovate their PEN golden lounge.

took the words right out of my mouth

do you have a ticket number? It should start with a 232-(+10 digits)

They are all* accessible for MH J pax, and Enrich Gold. * CX Wing J, CX Pier J, CX (more like KA) G16, CX Cabin, CX Bridge, as well as QF J. Basically the only ones off limits are CX Wing First and CX Pier First - for which you need an F ticket, MH Platinum or OW Emerald.

Yes
