  1. Just to update this, can redeem Enrich miles by calling American Airlines. They have 2 sectors avaible on my trip, KUL-LHR (35,000 miles) and JFK - LHR (25,000 miles) and some kind of ticket change fee of USD300. Good offer or better places to spend my points ?
  2. Booked KUL - (LHR) - JFK - (LHR) - KUL via american airlines website (@ around USD1000). Fare code outbound is V, inbound is L. Wondering if there is a method to upgrade to Business ? Hopefully cost efficient KUL - LHR - KUL portion is operated by MH, but unfortunately was told by Enrich that I can't use my miles as booking wasn't via MH.
  3. flew with them KCH - KUL today. hot meal served for the 1st time in a long while ! choices where : 1. Chicken with rice 2. Roti prata with fish curry Dessert was a piece of sponge cake. Coke & Spirte still from those 1.5 litre bottles though.
  4. This sounds like a great opportunity to begin a career with the NewCo ? "StartUp" but has its own Act of Parliament, Petronas style ?
  5. Can anyone enlighten me on the benifit of redeeming a higher booking catergory (ie: J or C vs D for Busniess) ? In my experince enrich redemptions don't qualify for enrich miles ... even if its cash+miles.
  6. Hi guys, just re-posting if there's any advice regarding visiting on trade days ? Website lists Trade Day tickets at RM50... and RM40 extra is a small price to pay if there's more to see + less crowd. But worried if there's any stringent checks ?
  7. 2200 UTC = 1400 +0800GMT ? (2pm Malaysia) How would this affect scheduled flights ? Since I'm hoping to fly in during am and leave on the last flight back to KUL.
  8. See-ing trade tickets are RM50, while Public Day's RM10 ... quite tempted to go for Trade Ticket and hopefully avoid the crowd on the last 2 days ? Can anyone advise if there are any additional checks on Trade Tickets ? Don't mind wearing a tie if it helps
  9. Logo looks the same, probably more of a marketing campaign than "relaunch" ?
  10. I'm frequently on long haul (including A380) and short haul on MH Business / Economy . Cleanliness didn't use to be a problem until around 2013 ? Nowadays seats look as if there havent been wiped down for weeks, and grime on IFE controller is a given (in any class). Yeap, the team of 6-7 people are always there. Problem is I've no idea what they've been doing during the 40 minute turn around time. MasWings planes are downright filthy, though I've never tried Firefly or any other prop service in M'sia. Going to give AK some credit there in saying they at least have clean interiors !
  11. Thanks !!! Didn't know this till today ... even though I've read the name so many times over during my childhood. Makes much more sense now (No access to Google in the early 90's) Flight 714 - Adventures of Tintin
  12. Which day is best for a day trip ? Understand only the last 2 days are "Public-Access" , so would want to maximize the items on display ... not too worried on aerial displays since these are weather / equipment dependent and tough to confirm.
  13. Good info, might take this option unless staying in Langkawi is recommended ?
  14. Does -NAA need ETOPS to cross the Pacific Ocean ?
  15. Since there's this topic, any idea on call sign for Malaysian Army Air Corps 881 Squadron ? (Agusta A109 operators)
  16. For flights, I usually use Google with : 1) Flight tracking (though not very accurate for domestic (Malaysia) sectors) typing: "MH2743" -will bring up flight status 2) Flight options from A to B typing: "flights KUL to SIN" -helps during fare searches, so I know which airline websites to go to
  17. Anyone got offered this ? Minimum offer seems to start at RM100.
  18. Not taking a negative angle on this, but what does it to do with making "the country proud" ? It would of course be something else if MH had arranged chamgpane or a 5-star hotel buffet for their passengers upon diversion
  19. How about the Admirals & Captains at Khazanah ? Not forgetting if "MAS Act" passes, then we may be blessed with a Minister or three to ensure everything runs smoothly
  20. Yeap, had it set that way for the past 2 years (HHonors) but decided to switch to points + points since it never worked for me ! Slightly OT, but does any other FFP offer status matching with Enrich / OneWorld Sapphire ?
  21. Anybody managed to have Enrich miles posted from Seri Pacific (ex-Pan Pacific next to PWTC) or Hilton (HHonors Diamond) offers ? Despite making sure my Enrich number was recorded down , never had it posted once from any hotels.
  22. Was here a few days ago, for me it feels like a toned-down "RIMBA" concept. "Check In" - No Boarding Announcements Sir Entrance Corridor No significant change to toilets. Shower tiles same as before ... Old & Stained New Soda Fountain. Strange they could not buy one with an Ice-Dispenser ala Nandos. Pressure is abit high so drinks tend to spill straight into the bowl of ice provided. On the day, Buffet of Chicken Rice + Roast Chicken + Condiments. Not bad and a nice change. Noddle Station was BeeHoon Soup or Mee Curry. IMHO this is the biggest disappointment in the lounge. Instant Coffee, and with no fridge you can't add milk to Black Coffee. White Coffee was tooo sweet (tastes like kopiko sweets) and Soya Bean Milk was lumpy and tasted closer to flour. Back Counter. Note less choices on this Coffee Beverage Machine New Massage Area ? What I think is a massage area had a lady in MAS uniform stationed inside. Unfortunately she was camping behind one of these recliners, watching videos on her HP (without headphone mind you!) and chatting with the cleaners ever so often. When I was leaving the group of 3 was enjoying a little picnic, complete with handphone music and loud gossips. Perhaps to give first time visitors a "Pasar Malam" vibe ? No attempt or signage to indicate what is offered here.
  23. For inter-terminal transfers, just take which ever train comes first. The ticket given is the "Blue" KLIA Transit one, but will work on either train
