Me too and I find it refreshingly colourful, like the way the colours diagonally run across the cabin.... it looks better in 330 than baby boeings..... The reds in Business is nice too.....

elong and ctrip are very good in china itself. they do not deliver tickets to overseas, paying them is also an issue. The even do delivery of ticket to right to the door (Cash on delivery) n china.... a tip, go to the CZ office in KL, its cheaper to get ticket from them than compared to getting an international ticket out of china.

looking on the bright side of a merger/sale of stake in MH..... in comes a new player with more corporate business acumen (hope this does not make MH sound as if it is as blur as sotong) - this may augur well as then the domination and meddling in decision making will also be affected, Imagine really running it like a money making airline company, keeping bad decisions at bay (say possibly no more mealboxes - do i hear applause from our forumers in here!!!), Government Servants will not be able to travel expensive thus saving taxpayer's money. an interesting point of reference - sri lankan with emirates..... will it happen in the future? with SQ's involvement - "affluent south managing the pride of the north!!" - QUOTE - how a malaysian company be run by outsiders, no it must be run exclusively only by Malaysians..... deadlock isn't it? remember when one of our mobile telco sale to singapore was stopped some years back? national pride will get in the way...... likewise, SQ being a shining star of the airline industry and the pride of singapore may think twice or more if it wants an alliance with somebody like above...... SQ already have Virgin in their portfolio as well (hint - think pessimistic to picture the negativity)! go figure...... both airlines have close Government links, except one is managed so well that it is profitable, renowned, a market leader, innovative, (and the list goes on)......

with all this thing going on about the "pening pening" colours of the seats of the new reupholstered aircrafts.... I have a suggestion : paint all the 737's into hibiscus livery...... since the colour has taken over the interiors, why not go for the whole big thing.... Malaysian airports will be the most colourful places to be, coupled with AK's red birds......

SQ is progressively converting their 5 A345 - they have progresively started with Newark (3 times weekly) before converting all and then on to SIN/LAX leg progressively, expected to complete late september 2008.

TAP used to fly portugal to macao direct pre handover and a little bit over the period of "handed over" to china, but it was withdrawn due to poor response... macanese portuguese people still speak portuguese (official language of macao govt) and some still have relatives or families in portugal still. with macao's boom in casino tourism, it may be viable again.......

sidetrack a bit.... I do hope MH's new 738's are more comfortable Sat in a few 738's before they don't seem to be more comfortable judging from their newer entry/technology! (hmmm. maybe its airline specific) I absolutely find the blended winglet makes the aircraft look very sexy.......

interesting, I have always visually memorized all the airports that i have been to, never thought about listing it down..... saw this thread and immediately jumped to it Penang, Subang 1,2,3 KLIA Johor Bahru Singapore Bangkok Narita Perth Melbourne Hong Kong (Chek lap kok) MFM - Macau Guangzhou XIY - Xian Chongqing Chengdu Beijing Shanghai, Hongqiao and the new one with the maglev train (pudong i think) Johannesburg Cape Town Durban Netherlands, Schipol Hamburg, Germany Finland, Helsinki LAX Los Angeles LAS Las Vegas ORD Chicago O'hare San Francisco (the best runway viewing) Sacramento Seattle (flight diverted - passenger with heart attack)

Too many colours, very pening .... maybe this is to disorientate forumers in MWings who frequently thrash MH..... I like colourful interiors, AK is like the "run of mill" leather seats dark coloured drab interiors, like MANY classic boring (yawn!!) interiors favoured by most of western airlines and most airlines anyway... (MH Trying to be different - BTP No ??) Dragonair (KA) has the best in terms colourful schemes.... bright and cheerfully coloured cabin which is tastefully blended to the right degree of pleasing your eyes. Perhaps MH should copy from them... My dua sen - Take away the fluorescent green and orange - I think it will look easier on the eyes...... but then again, your colour is not my colour and my colour may not be your colour.....

newbie here, just wanted to see how my post will look like.... ahhhh - my first post. They use to have daily non stop flights hkg/pen/hkg during the heydays..... (additionally with flights from kl routing to penang to complement) remember penang as the 2nd silicon valley....... wonder if we will see that again......
