Seen the MAS Wings video announcement ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=468IIVcf5b8 Skip to 48 seconds and continue watching. This is what's shown on every flight (if the screens work).

Not a government apologist, but it has to be noted SG highways are built on proven ground unlike most of ours which have to cut through water logged land, hills and villages. Less we forget, the Eurofighter is commissioned by Eurofighter GmbH, by default a German entity. At present, we've no idea how much the German & British (majority shareholders @ 33% each) have poured into this program. These governments will also want to profit, hence we cannot except a "fair" price for such an advanced fighter. I am fully against money going into an undeserving pocket, but mostly I find criticism of our armed forces to be unfair.

Have always thought the A380 as an ugly bird (whale jet). Yet these 2 pics are starting to sway my opinion: 1st displays a very determined nose, while the 2nd has an exceptionally elegant (mathematical) sweep and those engines !! . Definitely looking forward to riding her in August ... ugly livery or not !

http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?airlinesearch=Atlas%20Air%20%28SonAir%29&distinct_entry=true Third shot has a pic of the upper deck. Sad how Britain has rationalized it's way out of a proper VIP transport. I'm also surprised by how easily MP's here resign over the smallest misdemeanor, guess this is the true definition of a public servant.

Oppss .. I did not see the disabled friendly toilet at 59H as pointed out by Mushrif. I was under the impression there was only 1 disabled toilet, which was located on the upper deck Another mistake by me, will be flying in July Just hope no equipment change since I've already switched my tickets once due to MH flip flopping on dates the A380 will fly on LHR-KUL. I wonder how they will paint their check in desks, especially at Kuching and Kota Kinabalu since they serve both domestic and international.

From MH's website, it seems no mistake as to the "new" blue Wau's high position on the tail, with no additional paintwork Interestingly, 1st Class gets 3 toilets to 8 seats while 66 Business class folk will have to share 4 toilets ? Some disappointment from my side: 1) No suites 2) Seat features behind competition despite late start 3) Disabled toilet on the upper deck ?? 4) Lack luster new livery 5) No "A380 only" menu Nevertheless, will be traveling in C this June LHR-KUL as a graduation treat and will preserve some hope till then.

Excellent news. Most premium airlines already seat most young families at the rear of the plane (easy for priority boarding too) so I find this no different. Except that MH has used it as a marketing advantage which is a big plus.

I think it's quite insensitive to have a giant smiley along side those flight numbers. Also Air Crash Investigations only covers accidents which have a large impact on the aviation industry, or those under very controversial circumstances. ie: EgyptAir 990 and SilkAir 185

I noticed these seats have the "Red Blue" tone. Perhaps an older picture ? Blanket seems wayyyyy too plain as well, even less pattern than the purple ones in economy now.

they probably refund the fare difference. also not that big a loss traveling KUL - DXB since there's no special area for Suite passengers.

I suck at this , but IMHO a cheat line would really give this blue livery a balance. A very crude rendition

Awesome, seems like printed material ? If I may ask, where did you snap this from ? Silver lining is at least MAS can now say they're out of the red

So is the "swish" now phased out ? Or is this new all blue scheme just for A380 ?

Thanks for that ! Probably the 1st time I've regretted installing an ad blocker But the new scheme is certainly NOT for me !! Even worse than the "swish" IMHO. This is too sterile, I was really hoping they would go in the steps of their "water color" adverts which was really vibrant and inviting

Not really since FY still isn't as established as MH yet in S'wak / Sabah. Quite a "by-stander" analysis by OSK since they haven't taken into account the new domestic airline MH is setting up

What East Malaysia needs is a proper Pan-Borneo "Highway". With most major airports being half an hour from the city centre (KCH, BTU, MYY etc) there is little impetus to fly since the period one even leaves the house till he/she steps into the plane will have taken nearly more than an hour. 30 minutes travelling to airport, 10 minutes check in + security check, 30 minutes in departure lounge .. .then 30 minute flight BTU-MYY and another 30 minutes just traveling from destination airport. So a total traveling time of 2 hour 10 minutes by "air" ... while driving takes 2 hours 20 minutes Even for longer distances such as BTU-KCH , if a couple more bridges were built the distance could be cut to about 400Km by road instead of the current 600+km.

Quite surprised they've been no leaks yet on the cabin interior yet. Fingers crossed its not because there's nothing to showoff

someone should compile a list of all these failures and publish them to remind the gov that someone does remember !

Not much difference from most of the A380 operators. I guess only those traveling in F have the most to lose. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some game changing cabin offerings from MH tho. My hopes are for them to crush

Firstly I admit ignorance on my part and offer my apologies if this question is crude/ill mannered. However I've been curious about : 1) How much these Haj flights cost to the passenger 2) Are the planes reconfigured to an all economy seating ? If not how will Tabung Haji or MH decide who gets the premium seats ? 3) What are the meals served onboard ? 4) Is there different attire for the cabin crew? 5) Are the cockpit crew restricted to a certain religion? 6) Is it "halal" to make a profit on these flights? or is MH doing this as a "duty" I'm sure part of this info is listed somewhere in MAS's annual share report but I'd much prefer to hear what the insiders have to say instead of just raw numbers

Anybody remember the green Saeaga Airlines ? At least that lasted about 2-3 years. One wonders how different the skies would be today if the Gov supported this private airline instead of then HICOM owned AirAsia Link

Source. Old livery still looks pretty good on the a380

Agreed that the KLIA Express is way too expensive. If 2 people are traveling, taxi's are not only cheaper, but they take you right to where you want to be ! The "Express" instead drops you off at a station which isn't even connected to the monorail which is a 15 minute walk / climb away.

Surprised that no PR from MH so far. Hoping AK dosen't get a say in the interior, and MH still gets to splurge

maybe build them a stadium while they're at it ?
