  1. KLIA is still in a mess from what it used to be at least. The quality has dropped tremendously to its lowest while its neighbours took advantage of the pandemic to make improvements and refurbishment. The design of the airport design seems to be a mistake while they continue to make profits (MAHB). The issues I can highlight through experience since January to date are :- 1) Terminal 1 (T1) parking entrance continues to be a problem throughout the day a) machine not issuing the coin/chip b) TnG option faulty c) customer service unreachable d) Premiere Parking at Level 2, really? Why? 2) T1 Public Toilets are not all SDG friendly - the ones near McD's heading to Anjung Tinjau have no dryers but only paper towels 3) T1 Check In Lines are a mess everyday at peak hours, cluttered & confusing to the laymen alike 4) T1 Staff at some check in counters are clueless about the special assistance service and charging USD50 to assist someone to the gate 5) T1 Cleaning staff are seated anywhere around the airport vicinity, steel barriers on the ground, etc 6) T1 Lacking creativity and ambience for an international hub 7) T1 The signages of the feeder buses to the satellite terminal is poor, what more the service itself which is abysmal 8 ) Poor communication skills of the GTR check-in staff (I experienced a few incidents myself yesterday) 9) T1 Anjung Tinjau has become a dodgy place; it is a noisy place now with one side dedicated for TH travel updates making the place chaotic and the 'plane spotting experience' unwelcoming, passengers occupying the whole row of seats to sleep (I guess this happens at other airports too), basically from a world class airport into a pasar pagi/malam/petang, no proper enforcement nor quality control, style ada, maintenance takda 10) T1 is also becoming an upcoming and happening base for touts, scammers, etc - just ask how many taxi touts, tugs and conmen there are at the arrival hall, anjung tinjau (professional beggars) and more 11) E-hailing services at T1 are also leaving much to be desired - drivers cancelling on passengers, taking their time to 'makan" at their warung at the cowboy-town, etc 12) Cost saving and reducing the air-conditioning at Anjung Tinjau is not cool at all, especially since they made one side a play area for children and another for prayer facilities for the Muslims A lot more to share of course but the above are some highlights of my own experience and my two cents
  2. Yes amazingly, KUL was served once as an important destination on their route map
  3. Shocked at his feedback, I thought he had some substance comparatively to the other leaders previously. Maybe it was quoted out of context and showcased as the reason; bad journo. In todays world, this is a bitter statement and alike a loser because they should be focusing on moving forward with the latest technology and innovations. Something fishy 🐟 On another note, I flew with MH from KCH and found their crew to be very efficient and friendly. They were mostly seniors in the cabin and younger in the cockpit. Captain spoke really well and very informative. I was lucky to be on the newly refurbished aircraft and had the chance to have their onboard catering and it was good.
  4. Interesting information, thanks. Just wondering about Air Incheon, anyone heard of them or seen them at KUL yet? It says they started KUL in Jul 2023 😁

  7. Turkmenistan Airlines to "Commence" Kuala Lumpur Ashgabat - Kuala Lumpur eff 15FEB24 2 weekly B777-200LR T5803 ASB 0510LT - 0620LT 77L Day 4 T5801 ASB 1530LT - 0240LT 77L Day 2 T5802 KUL 0440LT - 1030LT 77L Day 3 T5804 KUL 1820LT - 0010LT 77L Day 4
  8. Interesting but has anyone heard anything about the new KUA airport?
  9. Do they recognize our indigenous art in Malaysia?
  10. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/231127-mhnov23nrt MH to deploy the A350 (Ex-SAS) to NRT for the entire month of December
  11. Turkish Airlines NS24 Intercontinental Network Changes - 27OCT23 Istanbul - Kuala Lumpur eff 01APR24 TK060/061 A350-900XWB replaces previously filled B777-300ER (Overall 1 daily A350 & 1 daily B789) Fantastic news and can't wait to see more A350's at KUL
  12. I wonder if Malaysians can or cannot manage big projects 😁
  13. Despite all that, we still only have one flight from India to KUL by an Indian carrier - Indigo who operates a daily flight to KUL from MAA (Chennai) at an ungodly hour. MH really should improve on the seats as mentioned by Craig.
  14. It is about time they upgrade their services, offerings and aircrafts for DOH! Such a downgrade for a QR flight using MH' A330s. Cockroaches at least on my flight last year & rude crew
