  1. Well first NB toilets are far end of the plane and one need to squeeze its way through if the cart is there. Secondly, the experience I had on CZ was not pleasant in terms of the seat pitch which was tighter than MH or others, food quality is awful, the coffee I had was awful too....lastly I tend to move around when in the plane so in a NB not much space to walk around n stretch compared to a WB


    Last I check there isn't really significant SZX manufacturing companies operating in Penang. The Chinese manuf companies that are here do not originate from SZX. If they are looking into feeding pax into other cities in China fr SZX I believe CZ is now doing a great job at that for many years.


  2. PEN-SZX will start in Dec 2017 - all these new routes and frequencies are w.e.f. 2017.

     

    BKI-TSN will probably have more leisure than business pax.

    PEN - CAN by China Southern, PEN - HKG by KA & in the distance future PEN-SXZ by MH...... I wonder what kind of pax MH are rooting for...business or leisure......as PEN-CAN is mostly now for leisure with connections to other parts of China and HKG is for buss n leisure both.....


  3. I can understand SZX, though it's interesting that it isn't served from KUL. I really hope MH knows what it's doing.

     

    Come to think of it, MH doesn't even have its own lounge at the PEN international side. I suppose there's always PPL to the rescue!

    OT: I'm rather surprised MO1 didn't manage to wrangle a visa-free deal after his momentous visit to the Middle Kingdom. Doesn't seem unreasonable given how Malaysia already has some form of visa-free scheme for the Chinese.

    PEN have MH lounge on domestic but none in international as I think MH do not think it is "wise" to resume back PEN-SIN route which is now covered very very well by MI (4-5 flights a day) and the budget carriers

    Interesting. Some routes are just oddball (PEN-SZX comes to mind). And MH hasn't even loaded KUL-HAK into their GDS yet and they are starting this route next month!

     

    Prime PEK slots are difficult to procure. And airlines usually have more capacity into PVG than to PEK.

     

    You want MH to send its 333 on PEN-SZX? On a point to point service (and SZX is not even served from KUL)? MH uses a 738 for KUL-TPE/CAN which probably has way more traffic than PEN-SZX. And the reason for BKI-TSN is probably because it's within the 738 range.

     

    Chinese, Indian, Nepali, Bangladeshi, and Burmese nationals living in their country of citizenship (plus a few more for Indians and Chinese e.g. living in Hong Kong or Australia is fine) are eligible to apply for the e-visa. I don't know how it works but I guess it's similar to India's e-visa for foreign tourists. The Malaysian e-visa is valid for 3 months for a max stay of 30 days.

     

    Now if only China grants visa waiver to Malaysians like they do to Singaporeans (14-days visa free) or at the very least 72 hours TWOV (currently at 24 but it must be to and from the same port).

     

    OT: Can the government negotiate for visa free access to Morocco and Ethiopia for Malaysians as well :p

    Well if given a choice between PEN-SZX on B738 (MH) or PEN-HKG on A330 (KA), I would choose the latter any time


  4. Well, Malaysian tour groups have been allowed access to Jerusalem to visit Christian sites as well as the Al-Aqsa/dome of the rock compound when they cross over from the Jordanian border. This has been going on for a long time now. I think a special permit has to be applied for.. maybe someone here knows a bit more about this issue..

     

    Yes it's true....Malaysians can go there unofficially....for the religious thingy...and it needs to be arranged thru certain travel agencies which have the experience and contacts to organize them
