hah, for us not living in KL finally an alternative for LHR route with oneworld

Agree on the yields, but value would have to go to Emirates, Thai, Bruneian, Qatar, Etihad.

With MH B744 business config being half the capacity of their A380, what will happen to those other passengers ? Abit of vested interest because I'll be flying KUL/LHR in July

My 2cents : 1. Offer the domestic market to AirAsia for a nice sum, in exchange for their international routes out of KUL. Rationale : AK domestic fares are catching up with MH , while MH international fares are dropping to meet AirAsia X. May as well play to your strengths. Also this wouldn't affect AirAsia JV's to operate within other countries given immediate connectivity to emerging markets. 2. Rural Air Service (Borneo) to introduce amphibious aircraft. Rationale : Smaller aircraft for flexible schedules. Low cost & low impact compared to building an airstrip to connect every rural community. 3. Re-Invent the market. Rationale : Strip out first class services and replace with "NetJets/VistaJets" copy ? With Malaysian companies now looking abroad for opportunities, jet charter could be the next thing for ASEAN. OneWorld links will still be there for anyone who prefers a traditional first class experience. 4. Singapore Rationale : Plenty of shared history between SQ & MH. This could be the "Qantas and Emirates" story for us. Synergies with Point 3 above, and positions KLIA as a domestic/regional airport while Changi becomes the Europe/America/NZ gateway for Malaysians.

Probably just abit of hyperbole 157 spread across the A380 is still pretty thin I'd say, just 20+ more than the entire upper deck seating (C & Y)

BTU - SIN please ! Only recently has MH added a 1910 flight to KUL for us, arriving 2100-ish. Perfect for connecting flights to Europe (Oil & Gas industry) rather than flying on the 1330 BTU-KUL flight. Haven 't seen this flight less than 70% before, so must be pretty popular. Nothing beats connectivity & comfort at SIN though.

Looking into this as I've never been to a RedBull event let alone an air-race ! Tickets are split into Prelim (Saturday), Final (Sunday) or Weekend (Both days). Anybody has hints on which is best to go to for spotting ? Also it shows the race as ending @ 3am on Monday morning ! Is this when the actual racing ends or is it just an after party ?

Drop them a call, 1300883000 . I did it last week and miles were credited within 5 minutes !

hmmm ... quite tempted with the trade days. Any background checks apart from being employed ?

The only seats which would match his Red AK cap

where do you guys redeem the miles from ? Login through enrich.malaysiaairlines.com ? Because when I click redeem flight , it says date is not available... even for SIN-KUL on 5 different months !

Since the last renovation of MH Satellite Lounge I've been using the CX lounge (because of the self service bar ) Can anyone confirm CX is now exclusively for Platinum members ?

Not only that, the restaurants now have rattan wrapped iPad "menus" . couple of bugs, mine was displaying a room service menu , and when given a new one it didn't have prices. Point to order over WiFi also missed since the WiFi was down Best of luck to Sama-sama but already missing the Pan Pacific

my flights from June 2012 have not been credited, despite filling in on Enrich Online, calling and sending them an excel file with all the details Current backlog at 25 flights ....

Thanks, I assume forumers who are attending before 29/3 are all on Trade passes as well ? The last LIMA I went to was in 1997 (?) so just checking if there are any document checks for those with Trade passes

Impromptu decision to try and get to LIMA'13 Won't be able to make the weekend for "Public" ... anybody knows if there is a criteria for people to register as a "Trade Visitor" ? If it helps, currently working as an engineer for a petroleum company

hmmm .. someone who registered just to ask this question (and no other posts)

A slightly salty version of fresh air limau would be perfect. Can be served, hot, cold .. mixed with soda or just water

fantastic livery ! Something I feel Ironman or Captain America will have no qualms flying in

How "off-shore" are we talking ?

IMHO the factors in the article paints the whole picture, but the main reason / subject for this Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) would be disregard of instruments by flight crew. Why would they think the equipment was malfunctioning ? Is Russian technology so prone to failure ? I thought after the Überlingen mid-air collision, the Russians have been trained to rely more on instruments over human directions. (ATC okay-ing 6000ft)

Amazing shots !! Really curious what aircraft is this ? EDIT: Heh .. just noticed while typing ... there's an image of a blimp in the lower screen Probably explains how the Captain can have her hand resting/pushing down on the control stick

And now the wait begins ...

Looks good. It lists the frequency range but I'm not sure who else will be on there. Able to pick up Police/Bomba ? the SBS 3 pointed out by Gavin lists Maplin as a distributor. Will give them a ring tomorrow and see if they can have it sent to store

hope the weapons + helmets are just there for the photoshoot and not compulsory to literally "hand carry" throughout the flight.
