Twice I've been on MAS a380 and economy class seat was disgusting... Bits of vomit not cleaned from the table. There was a smell of old vomit throughout the flight. We had to clean the table with our wet wipes before we could even use it. Cost cutting was showing even in 2013
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).
Have you guys ever see the aircraft cleaners at work? I wouldn't call it cost cutting as it happens all the time.
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 !

I went to Jakarta last month and I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Kemayoran area. I looked at the area and found out this area which appeared to be rather green and different from the slump housing around Jakarta and suspected it looked like an airport.
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

17th-21st March
No entry of the Apache in the display list (yet; hopefully RSAF will send a few up)
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.

It is not a problem - get the first flight into LGK and a 7 or 8 pm flight out of LGK back to KUL.
The expo hall is just next door to the airport - 5-8 mins walk.
Good info, might take this option unless staying in Langkawi is recommended ?

Does -NAA need ETOPS to cross the Pacific Ocean ?

Since there's this topic, any idea on call sign for Malaysian Army Air Corps 881 Squadron ? (Agusta A109 operators)
-
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
-
I will be able to get it, will update you guys.
Interested as well and waiting for the good news !
-
Anyone got offered this ? Minimum offer seems to start at RM100.

Malaysia Airlines today did the country proud when flight MH135 made an emergency landing in Bali after an Australian passenger went into labour.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
-
It is a sinking ship and there is at least 3 captains - the old CEO, the CRO and the new Irish CEO. So who is actually the one in charged here? Does the CRO reporting to the new CEO? Or the new CEO is reporting to the CRO? And just imagine the overlapping in the job scope that will happen.
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

I've always had all my HIlton stays credited into my Enrich account, maybe check to see if your MyWay preferences are set at miles + points?
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 ?
-
Gold not good enough la for Suzanne
I've also been facing problems claiming a recent CX J flight with Enrich, usually all my miles post into Enrich without a problem.
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.

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
CoffeeBeverage 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. -
Understand all trains from klia2 stopped at klia vv but inter terminal pax are advised to take klia transit and not klia express.
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

9M-MPP flew to Kiev, Ukraine as MH5002 carrying Malaysian officials.
Saw her last week parked at KLIA remote stand, near the Tigerair Mandala Airbuses.
Looked in need of a repainting since one could make out the "lines" where different fuselage components joined up.

RayaniAir seating config. with all Economy 169 ( Y) posted on their fb today. Looks like it's a former MAS 734.
Going through their FB page :
1) @yahoo address for contact
2) Route Map shows Melaka - Kuching but graphic is Melaka - Mukah. No airport there is B734 capable
3) Many copyright infringements
Another Silverfly in the making ? The mind boggles as to how people continue to imagine the airlines business as something they can learn on the go

Nine MAS directors return all directors' fees of RM394,000Thumbs up to them. Hopes this sets a precedent for other GLC's
-
It's a reskinning exercise. The guts (that is the booking engine) remains the same.
Was booking a flight yesterday.
Still lacks user-friendly-ness, ie: When selecting Date, the Calender pops up. Nice ... until you only want a one way ticket, and you'd have to start the process again to tick "One Way" .
-
I can attest to point number 1. Was at K8 3 days ago waiting for my flight, heard those sounds that seem to have come from the ceiling. Felt like the ceiling is going to collapse anytime.
End of J concourse as well, where smoking lounge is.
But very likely just some ongoing construction / installation work causing the echos.

How was the crowd for the Red Bull air race.
Cheers.
A 5/10 rating for Qualifying Day IMHO.
Will post what little pictures I have tommorow. But overall I'd say the event could do with much better publicity. ie: Free shuttle service within Putrajay that day, but with only ONE sign, which is at one of the bays @ Putrajaya Sentral. Only mention of this service is on putrajaya council website posted just the day BEFORE. Had to search as Help Desk had no idea when the shuttle was going to turn up/interval.

@Zamir, where is this open air spotting place located? Land side accessible? Great photos!
It's the "verendah" for Check In Area @ KLIA2
In a few months will be seating area for the various eateries ... so not sure if it'll remain free access.

Quite a fast pace restructuring (28 May), I wonder if there is a timeline to get these things sorted out. Hopefully nothing is rushed out (if it does, for what and for whose benefit?)
I am putting my money that the Brahim contract will be terminated. This is the most highly publicised unfair contract that MH signed in the past and if it passes through due to Badawi or whatever reason, then this so called restructuring is a BS. Hoping the management/media to expose other contracts with the same nature that were somehow well kept from the knowledge of the curious public.
It is refreshing to read MH admits that it has excess staff, something that they never acknowledge in the past.
But the staff cutting target is rather low, only 10% from 20,000 = 2,000 staff. IJ's past VSS in 2006 recorded a better number, 6,500 were offloaded from the payroll.
Looking forward for the development comes 28 May. This whole reboot is quite drastic so we will witness a lot of drama unfolding.
On staffing, they probably don't want to rock the boat too much. Just hope the 10% are selected based on "past performance" and not merely (old) age !

Who's going and which tickets you have bought? I can see that only Zone A tickets are for sale online...RM169 for weekend. Would like to know if there are other cheaper zones or with a better view if all zones are similar priced.
Mine is the RM85 for just qualifying day. Zone A (Ticketpro.com.my)
Saw someone on lowyat selling for RM50 Zone D , but ticket dosen't look like the one I have (no color, barcode) so abit doubtful.
MASwings Relaunch

Logo looks the same, probably more of a marketing campaign than "relaunch" ?
