They really make MWE looks like MYA!

Found something new, LGK and PEN will be having "bi-airport" options; OD is giving flying in and out from KLIA to those two destinations as well apart from Skypark....

Finally, something new for the rural folks; after the mighty 300 series serving for over 30 years...

35kg and 50kg is really a generous weight allowances...

Based on the picture shown in <<See Hua Daily News>>, the new ATR 72-600 is being registered 9M-MYA.

Believe Enrich Online under maintain again, cannot connect...

Targeting too many routes in starts up phase with limited aircrafts makes consumers not much confidence to fly with them at this point, especially with whole fleets grounding for no reason (so to say) for few days consecutively recently...and when I look at the KLIA flight information board online this few days, seems our airliners are "competing" for more "red colour" remarks, why a significant "cancelled" marks lately?

Had a pleasure to sample this baby yesterday, onboard FY 2087; a slightly better improvement compared to the 500 series...

http://www.bt.com.bn/news-national/2013/06/29/budget-airline-serve-umrah-pilgrims OK, finally got something from Brunei Times in English...

http://www.eunited.com.my/?q=node/35392 This piece seems an exclusive one, only in Chinese... In a nutshell, it reads Brunei will be having it's first LCC named "Darussalam Air" by this year end! Wanders if true enough or not...

Should be receiving the first 600 series by August, if I remembered correctly from the ATR channel on YouTube; they did make an interview with MH CEO, FY CEO and MASwings CEO when MAS annouced the purchase deal...

Even the red also can't beat the pricing given the period you travelled... B734 or B738? Or price is the prime factor? B734 you can avoid, as for B738 is purely a "lucky draw" given by MH...OD definitely looks nice with its' operating model and B739ER, but well, for me give them time to pick up and explore the start up phase first...

I agreed, that is because KUL-BKI-KUL & KUL-KCH-KUL are overcapcitied already; but for other point in both states; below RM 100 rates are LIMITED, thus the revision of Smart and Flex tiers are much welcomed! And BTW, within Peninsular and within the states also got revised, good enough, just hope with that move, they can gain healthier loads and proves themselves out in the more intense competition...

As titled, found that they had reduced the fares for Smart and Flex tiers, Nice! Hope this can continue for quite sometimes...

2nd phase of ATR destinationes out, LGK, AOR & TGG is on the booking engine list; however start dates and promo rates still unknown, regular fares can be found somehwere down Sept onwards...

Better go and find alternative on widebodies if anyone flying those MH's B738 routes that are above 3 hours...

If that materialised, meaning the government need to amend the RAS contract with MASwings already...and AK shall be back on that route... But anyway, back to OD; too many plans being revealed during each maiden flight press conference (E.g: 3 daily KUL-SBW-KUL after Raya, KUL-KCH-KUL can go up to 5 times daily, KUL-BKI-KUL going 8 times daily by year end, plus the India & China things; and going BKI from 3 other points in Sarawak by early next year as mentioned on Miri maiden flight press) And mind you, they are talking about almost few months plans down the road only...I just wandered how they gonna be making it when they say before before 2013 come to a close, they can only have around 10 Boeing planes... Let's wait and see...

I always think is a "lucky draw" when you flying with MH 738 as they have 2 types...BSI and non BSI...

LOL, just realised, journalist making "Bali" a new "independent country"....

Mooting too much on this topic already, and yet nothing happened; TR is leaving KCH by this month end! No need to expects Singapore LCC to run flights to SBW and MYY perhaps...

SBW dued to start in two days time and MYY to start on coming Friday, anyone know where is OD's 3rd B739ER coming in??

Because of Malindo Air, Malaysia Airlines is now finally giving complimentary earphone in Y on selected domestic flights. And Air Asia has also brought real zero fare back for flights between KUL/Sabah & Sawarak. Thank you Malindo Air Mind to share where is the zero fares??

Obviously, pricing plays a big role; last two years plus when more sales are being run (and really great price), I can see that average load factor is more than 70% on the flights that I joined them...logged about 16 plus turboprop ride thus far, just on them.
