  1. Thanks for the info mate...but.. XANADU?! Who's idea was that? I can imagine some ATC'ers getting confused when they get that on their systems. Colloquial troubles aside....im quite proud of the callsign. Wiki it...then those who know my surname will probably establish why...
  2. It's always heliconian...thats true. But the individuals who patrol around look like "Asia World City" in their police cars and like "Gading Sari" in their arab dresses with MP5's... So cannot spot a la TGG spotting.... But roof spotting is always there!
  3. Really nice shots bro!Wow..if only OMDB had spots like that! *drooools*
  4. Looks like it... Gavin + Mods wont be pleased...
  5. I thought the new forum guidelines stated that politics should be left at the front door before entering? :angry:
  6. OK set bro... gimme the dates of your return flight...and there's briyani on me. Btw....do u think i can get my MILO this time round?
  7. If i owned such an airline... i'll sell them as many seats as possible...then "accidentally" slip the bill to the papers "by accident" Im only human maa...can make mistakes right...
  8. 1300 QUID FOR Y CLASS ON MH?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.... :rofl: My gosh..Izanee..sorry to hear about your ridiculous flight on what i can only imagine is a now...ridiculous airline. Next time...u know where to transit for "sit down on the floor" briyani and sheesha eh?
  9. I am not a professional in this arena, nor have i conducted enough research to justify any findings...but im using the "common sense" thing for this one. The cost of obtaining a 787 and A330, coupled with maintenance fees, and the cost of outfitting that ENTIRE WIDEBODY aircraft...lets say that its X Million ringgit. We've already agreed that there hasnt been such a service implemented in Asia (bar ANA Business Jet...but thats a subsidiary right?), thus start up costs, costs of obtaining licenses, marketing (the whole shabang...market research, market analysis etc), renting out office space, employing workers...lets say thats another Y million ringgit. Do you honestly think that X+Y can be recovered in a realistic period of time in a market where demand simply isnt as great as it is in another, more affluent parts of the world? It wouldnt be financially feasible...to operate such widebody aircrafts, when the demand simply doesnt justify the usage. Whats the point of outfitting an entire 787 or A330 with Business Class seats, when only a third of the aircraft will be occupied? Remember, an empty seat is losing the airline business, MUCH more an empty J class seat O_o
  10. Machaan...still playing Maple ah? (inside joke) Anyways...all Airbus aircrafts (bar the A300 and A310 IIRC) use joysticks instead of yokes for flight control input... The suites look absolutely awesome! Though, personally...I prefer the Business class seats...those look absolutely superb. Cant wait for EK's trial at topping SQ's efforts.... *drools in excitement...*
  11. 600 ringgit? Thats disgusting! Talk about living beneath the poverty line...
  12. Honestly speaking, the market for "all business class" flights between destinations IN the ASEAN region, is feasible, though frequencies would be on the low side, and aircraft size would most probably be a narrowbody. Silverjet is also starting operations into DXB ex- LHR (IIRC) starting November 18th.
  13. :blink: This brings the application of the term "unorthodox" in a business environment to a COMPLETELY different level...
  14. SQ for regional... AK for domestic... MH...you've lost my business. Period.
  15. Thats the sickest thing ive ever seen in my life.... :o BOO MAS if they're painting the planes in that scheme...YUCK!
  16. hmm....i can definitely see JHB playing host to foreign carriers much earlier than TGG ever will...simply because of the development thats going on in that region of Malaysia... Why would u want 744's to land in TGG?
  17. hmm... Not bad looking actually...the box that is. Im still gonna buy my McDonalds and whack it on domestic flights...
  18. My sentiments exactly... so...in essence....its actually soaring higher than MASWings.... now doesnt that just rain on the parade of all the MASWings fan....
  19. Treat yourself to a smile, (and a minimum of 1 hot meal on all international flights), Fly Emirates...(okla..Etihad oso can)
  20. Doubt it...gotta look at the traffic agreements between both countries mate...or rather...between all 3 countries.
  21. Well... Just start buying your burgers and nuggets from McD's before you board...then inflight..makan! Been doing that for years...nothing beats a Big Mac, supersized coke (transferred into plastic bottle) and 12 piece nuggets at cruising altitude
  22. This is precisely the problem within MAS. Always has been...and lets hope it won't always be a stick up their rear...

    Yuck...ugly colours! Nontheless, thanks for the pix Sung! Handphone ah? :pardon:Yuck...ugly colours! :bl
  24. Valium could help... But yeah...either make sure you're superbly tired by the time u get on the flight...or load up your portable media device with movies, songs, games... Or...booze yourself silly at the terminal...get on the flight...sleep...
  25. Etihad + Emirates are just WAITING for the exodus....dipersilakan captain...
