Here are my entries! Qantas - B744, A333 Singapore Airlines - B772, B744 Cathay Pacific - A333, A343, B772, B773 Malaysia Airlines - F50, DC-10, B734, A332, A333, B772, B744 Japan Airlines - B763, B743 Emirates - A332, A345 Air Asia - A322

Wouldn't it be funny if they operated JHB-SIN flights?

What's the max flying time for the A343. Anyone?

Haha. I'd definately go for first class. If only my wallet would allow me.

Whenever I fly for more than 9 hours (give or take), I seem to have a problem -----> Keeping myself comfortable. I have this tendency to become air sick. Not up to that level where i visit the "tandas" every 5 minutes to vomit. But I do experience some mild headaches and sleeping difficulties. I normally take a sleeping pill and sleep through the entire journey. I'd like to know if you guys experience a similar problem, and what do you normally do to avoid this? Any ideas on what I should be doing to make my flight more enjoyable/comfortable? Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers.

MAS is replacing their fleet of old A330 with new birds? That's gonna make alot of people happy. If it's true.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I feel they were always afraid of losing their passengers to the other big players.

I guess we have to be contended with the likes of AIR NIUGINI.... for now.

I'd go with the wide body simply because size matters to me

Isn't she a beauty?

Again? This is becoming a common thing.

Hey Isaac, Sorry I can't give you any reliable links yet. There is no official announcement by MAS yet. But my father's golfing partner who is currently working as an engineer with MAS told me this. He says it's not yet confirmed, but PTVs on the 738 has a good chance. I'll keep you updated the moment I find a source we can all depend on. Let's hope we get those PTVs. Wait for my good news!

We all want QF and BA here, don't we

I'll remember that. Thx

Actually, there's alot of talk out there that the 738 fleet will be equipped with PTVs in Economy Class. Well, all we can do is wait and see.

Our beloved MAHB boss keeps talking bout new airlines flying into KLIA. Till now, no news.

to be honest, whenever i need an answer, the first thing i do is, open internet explorer --> www.wikipedia.org

that's what i thought so too. Oh well, least it got me excited for... few hours.

I was looking around, and Wikipedia states that British Airways operates chartered flights to Langkawi International Airport. Does this service still exist? If they do, can anyone tell me what season, and maybe which aircraft BA operates for this route? Cheers. Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langkawi_Airport

Whatever happened to Kingfisher Airlines and Oman Air? Thought they were flying into KLIA?

I'd prefer MH to join Skyteam. but oh well.

Malaysia Airlines in Qantas partnership talks: Chief Published: 2008/12/16 MALAYSIA Airlines said yesterday it has begun talks with various carriers, including Australia’s Qantas, to form tie-ups including joint ventures as carriers face a tough economic environment. The airline’s managing director and CEO Idris Jala had previously denied reports that Malaysian and Australian carriers were in merger talks. Jala made the latest comments after Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak reportedly said the government was open to a tie-up involving Malaysia Airlines. The government owns more that 90 per cent of the national carrier. “The present conditions in the world dictate to us to be creative and innovative provided we can agree on the participation of foreigners on a win-win basis,” Najib was quoted as saying in a local newspaper. Jala said that while Malaysia Airlines would pursue strategic partnerships, the government would have the final say in the decision to go ahead with a tie-up. “Any partnership that we pursue will require engagement with, and approval by, key stakeholders,” he said. “Malaysia Airlines is very pleased with the continued strong support from the government. We will do everything possible to fulfill the interests of the airline in line with the aspirations of the nation.” Jala said that “more details will be announced as and when we have finalised the terms of any of these partnerships. At this stage, we have no further comment.” Malaysia Airlines has undergone a sweeping turnaround programme, including staff layoffs and route closures, which ended a series of disastrous losses and produced a record profit in 2007. Last month however, the carrier said net profit for the third quarter shrank 90 per cent to RM38 million (US$10.7 million), from RM364 million in the same period last year due to higher fuel costs. The International Air Transport Association last week said the aviation industry is expected to post a loss of US$2.5 billion in 2009 due to the economic crisis. “The outlook is bleak,” said Giovanni Bisignani, the association’s director general and chief executive. - AFP

All 738s are fitted with winglets if not mistaken.

So... Delta to KL. good chance?

Ahh. that's too bad I guess. KLIA needs new birds. Badly
