  1. My family just took the business class to MEL. My sister was happy with 1K, but both my parents in 4K and 6K were complaining about the small footwell once the seat is in bed mode. Apparently, there are 2 things protuding out from the footwell as well.

     

    Do the A seats have better footwell? Or the 2 center seats? Thinking of changing their seats for the return flight.

     

    Thanks in advance.


  2. Pleased to report that the flight selection page now displays the prices in miles instead of cash. It's now smart enough to exclude the non-redeemable fares (i.e. Q/O/G/Z) and display the lowest redeemable fare.

     

    Still no option to modify your search or go back a step, though.

     

     

    Not sure if it is me or the system. Since I now only have 20k miles, I am only able to see flights redemption to Bangkok in Y for about 8k+ miles. Tried simulating for J, it shows zero availability in Aug. Tried searching for flights to other destinations, all zeroed out as not available.

     

    Is the new system only showing flight availability based on the miles that we have in hand?


  3. Had the same issue with Qatar in Kuwait. Somehow the system not able to print the status there. I realized and told the check in staff about it and she just bluntly told me that Qatar do not recognize Enrich Gold status. So, no lounge access.

     

    Still went to the lounge, showed the actual card and the lounge staff allowed me to enter.

    You can call the toll-free number from US at 1-800-552-9264. I believe this number actually routes back to the Malaysia call center (this is one area where MH is way better than most airlines, including SQ!). If it's the general reservation number in Malaysia, then you should be able to speak to the Enrich redemption desk.

     

    Also, it might help if you do some award availability research before calling and feed the agent the flights you want. The only one-stop service I can think of is KUL-LHR-IAH. Other than that, most flights require a transit at LAX/SFO/ORD/JFK/DFW. If the KUL-IAH distance is kicks you in the next award level, try flying into LAX/SFO/JFK and just buy a one-way domestic ticket, which sometimes costs as low as $50-60.

     

    Is there a way to check on the availability for OneWorld? I can easily see for Star Alliance through United, but not for OneWorld. The one stop service could be either through LHR on BA or through DOH on Qatar.

     

    The idea of flying into LAX or SFO is also a great one though, just need to find the way to find the availability


  5. Anyone knows the right channel to ask on Enrich redemption with OneWorld airlines?

     

    I have contacted Enrich and they instead ask me to contact the reservation by phone. As I am currently based in Houston, it will cost me a bomb to call back. Does anyone know the email address to contact reservation?

     

    I am planning to redeem for a one way trip from KUL to Houston next year


  6. I don't know where to put this post but somehow kinda shocked looking thru this video to see this kind of light load on KUL-KUA sector. Mostly this sector is hard to break even 75% load. Seems not profitable but has to maintain the route for certain reasons, maybe? I guess, for politician? err..

    I flew to Bangalore once with a load lighter than this, but I guess they could have more load on the return flight.

     

    I flew once in QR drom KUL to HKT on A330 with only 2 families on board with a total pax of 10. Felt like private plane..


  7. Looks like I was wrong then to assume all to be completed by April.

    Since all 15 aircrafts to be completed by Sept, then it will be like a roulette to see which plane you end up with between April to Sept for J class. Since the number of seats is also reduced, seat allocation will be a challenge if there is a last minute aircraft change


  8. Planning to take QR943 from SIN on 19/12/15 and then QR9 to LHR on 20/12/15.

     

    Main reasons I want this route is that I get the A350 and the A380. Have heard not so good reviews of their 787!

     

    If you have time, could also suggest any other alternative where ideally I get to try the A350 and spend 5-6 hours in Doha city.

     

    Much appreciated!

     

    EDIT:

     

    How good are their 777-300ER's?

     

    Alternatively will just fly out of KUL if scheduling is too complicated.

    I have not tried their A350 or A380 yet, but a couple of times in the 777-300ER. For me, it is good in both Y and J. They even give out pyjamas in J for the DOH-KUL sector.
