flight radar said landed at 6.10am

Hope this is just an "internal test" that got into the media since no international media has aired this news yet.

Hmm...an opportunity to fly on BA A380 first class from SIN to LHR...
hah, for us not living in KL finally an alternative for LHR route with oneworld
-
Personally, I do not think that London will ever be a victim to network trimming ... it just is too important a route to be on the chopping block.
I have travelled a few times on the KUL-LHR-KUL routes on board the B744s and A380s ... and the loads each time was pretty impressive. MAS still offers a far superior value proposition than many other carriers between Europe/London and Asia.

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.

The followings were pax load on MH4 for last 1 week. So I just wonder where Dr Frazier got his figure from.
Even on 12 Feb it was 157 pax
7 Feb - 247
8 Feb - 368
9 Feb - 401
10 Feb - 346
11 Feb - 249
12 Feb - 157
Today 13 Feb - 308
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 ?

I know that this has been a common complain in this forum but what is the most effective way to claim retro miles. I have used the Enrich website and also submitted emails to them 3 times but to no avail. I do not normally trave down to Sentral (out of the way for me). Is there an office in KLIA for this? Any advise guys?
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 ?
-
TF took first class?
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 ....

Why don't you try it out here - http://www.lima.com.my/visitorRegistration.html
Just register, pay the RM 50 fee & I think you're through!
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 -
Hi, has the SBS3 arrived? how's the performance?
hmmm .. someone who registered just to ask this question (and no other posts)
-
Not sirap , that's sickeningly sweet and an acquired taste . Something fresh and healthy would be preferred ....with soda to add a lift.
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

Understand Chinese gomen has barred Chinese Stated owned companies from bidding for offshore works off Sarawak. Indicating, Chinese gomen is preparing the ground work to contest for sovereignty of this water.
How "off-shore" are we talking ?

Source: Flightglobal
Oh my.. a few factors..
- Wrong aircraft type code
- Cleared for a height probably not suitable for commercial airliner
- Pilot distracted due to conversation with customer
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 -
