According to this report,http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/19/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/ Just after turning back to malaysian airspace,The aircraft climbed to 39,000 feet, just short of the Boeing 777-200ER's 41,000-foot safe operating limit, and maintained that altitude for about 20 minutes over the Malaysian Peninsula before beginning to descend. At this altitude,if the cabin is de presurized,mask will be deployed and the oxygen last for 15 minutes.That leaves 5 minutes of time remaining without oxygen. But at that altitude the time of useful consiousness (without oxygen) is only 15-20 seconds.After that time all pax will be knocked off,leaving the cabin crew who will transfer to portable oxygen bottles.those bottles will last for 120 minutes on low flow. Then the cabin crew will be knocked off too. So what does that say?

God bless all souls on board.RIP.Very very sad day for malaysian aviation,malaysia airlines and all of us on this forum Just pray that the cause is not human error.Knew the IFS Patrick Gomez,was a gem of a person.

Every single airline in the world have discounted travel,SUBLOAD tickets for staff and eligible family members.In fact it is an agreemment among most airlines who accept any airline employee on a standby basis. So MH staff can travel on say emirates or thai or qantas at say 10 percent of the published fare of Y.Its called Z fares.

Thats very true,in every time i land in KLIA it seems to be getting glomier and darker. I though its my eyesight getting worst!

Malaysia Airlines plans aircraft orders as part of turnaround plan................................. plan and plan and then more planning and then plans then more planning then wait,more plans. NATO.......... hopefully they will sell the T7's and lease some brand new 777W/787/A332........ like now!by selling off the T7's they can release some cash for the leasing perhaps? so did we fail to plan or plan to fail?

yum yum yum,I am drooling!

Probably a glass of water at the said bar?

Sadly KLIA does not sell beer,singapore changi do tho(S$11 for 6 cans). Auckland even better,beer is in the fridge in duty free!

While waiting for my flight back to AKL,decided to have a beer at KLIA airside at Bones raw bar. For a glass (pint) was RM32.

To be fair the taste of the MH nasi lemak is nice, but when I saw the portion (3 tiny prawns) served with rice on my flight from KUL to AKL yesterday, I was shocked. Old plane,and now the nasi lemak looks like budget.hmm.

in NZ needs min 3 mins or 7 miles separation after a super landing. this news made headlines here on yahoo. see video below: http://nz.totaltravel.yahoo.com/news-opinions/videos/watch/20387346/pilot-lands-aircraft-safely-after-turbulence-in-malaysia/

If the T7's gonna be around for another 3 years,surely, surely it warrants a cabin upgrade, not just businness class but y class as well. C'mon MH!Throw in some 10.6 inches for Y class.

They should sell this hotels to accor group,novotel and ibis hotels! http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/new-zealand-fiji/index.shtml

Rejected take off.

Couple of things that can picked from that news article: 1.MH only wants to deploy one type of a/c,either 787 or A350. 2. The intention period is 2018 as stated by MH Vice president,so bearing the waiting list for a/c orders around the globe,orders should be put in by early 2014? So from now till 2018,will the 777 remain the work horse for MH long haul?Hence if the a/c is to be around for 4 more years,would refurbishment be required for cabin?

(Reuters) - Malaysian Airline System Bhd is studying both the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 as potential replacements for its existing medium and long-haul fleet of aircraft, an airline executive said on Monday. Malaysia Airlines operates a total of about 30 Boeing Co 777s and Airbus A330s, and it eventually wants to fly only one type of aircraft in this segment to simplify operations and reduce costs, Germal Singh, the airline's senior vice president of government and international affairs, told reporters on the sidelines of an airline conference in Capetown. It may begin to replace these aircraft from around 2018, he added.

the only way to carry pax with c pox infection is to have an aircraft to themselves. So I believe that is what MH would have done,for her to charter a plane.. Otherwise is unjustice to the rest of the 150 pax flying along. I have personally denied boading to pax with c pox here in NZ and explained reasons. No dramas.

oh no.coudnt they find a better name or even better get an international chain like accor hotels to manage.Novotel,ibis,ibis budget are all accor. Caters for all people. sorry but sama sama sounds like a hotel in lorong haji taib!

QF USED A330-200 LAX AKL ROUTE. RECENTLY THE ROUTE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED THO.

yes. Airbus A330-200Range 12,224 km (6,600 nm) AKL-EZE 10329.98km

and now, firefly should learn the same lesson.

A short-haul flight is defined by Thomas Cook Airlines as a flight under 3 hours in length.A medium-haul flight is a flight between 3 and 6 hours. Long-haul flights involve long distances, typically beyond six and a half hours in length

reminds me of kingfisher's safety video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAAGa2mc5JIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAAGa2mc5JI nice.

Booked a SQ ticket SIN/AKL/SIN for 3 adults and a baby for next months travel,costed RM12,000. When enquired later for a date change,it costs USD20 but no seats available till february next year unless we are willing to pay S$1200 per pax extra, then yes can travel even in December! as my sister suddenly got Chix pox, so I asked them if we can split her ticket to another date and let the other 2 travel. Answer sure can,pay S$528 ! What about if we cancel it? sure can but you will just get back your taxes S$300. On the way back they apologised and said they will not be able to provide a bassinet for the baby and it is a full flight.!

Hi Guys just wondering the new trend of tie up with middle east carriers to widen reach. Qantas-emirates,then garuda-etihad. What are your thoughts of malaysia-qatar tie up? Mh can link autralasia and qatar the other end?
