Thanks guys for the suggestions!
I shall forward your postings to my sisters!

My sisters (yes, plural - 2 of them) plans to fly to Gothenburg, Sweden for 10 days from late July and back to KUL in early August. They are to visit our uncle who is now a Swedish citizen after marrying a Swede.Anyway, can anyone suggest the cheapest airfare in the market to get to Gothenburg from KUL. It appears that the chepest they could find is by KLM via AMS; and this is about RM4K++ per pax on Economy (Return). Would there be any other cheaper alternative? By the way, they don't really mind hopping from one plane to another; but I would imagine that anything more than 3 plane changes would definitely be too tiring!

Pardon my ignorance, but which other airline in the world serves nasi lemak on board ? If none, how to compare ?
(OK, one can purchase nasi lemak on board AK - it's also about RM15 per serving isn't it ?)
The nasi lemak for breakfast as part of the Halal Moslem Meal on board Air NZ during the flight from SIN to AKL in June 2005 was brilliant!
Prepared in SIN, I would have guessed! -
Doesn't TG flies about 3 times weekly from Bangkok to Madrid via Rome?

If only QF resumes flights to KUL ... if ...

As for me, it was just a statement by an ex-PM. I don't think it carries much weight anymore. Should the govt and MAS reinsate the LHR-LGK route due to a simple statement made by an ex-PM, then I start to wonder!!!
Agree! Just ignore ...

Not understanding is an understatement ... in my case, and after reading everyone else's comments, I'm now totally and absolutely confused!!!

Red Devils first.. Kelvin and I were lucky to catch her that day.. I didn't expect it either..
Ahhhh ... pure bliss again ... thanks a zillion ... this time to you Ignatius

Guys - Wow ... this is definitely one of the more brilliant sets of shots in a single thread (apart from the A380 series in November 2005, IMHO) that I've viewed here! Keep up the good work guys

I just got a VCD of a 1970s Malay movie called Hapuslah Air Mata Mu starring Sharifah Aini and Broery Marantika.Wow Rozhan ... Hapuslah Airmata Mu
... I am now convinced you are older than me dude ... -
My response to H (as in Hafizi?) Azmal's original questions ...
1. Worse meal - definitely the alfafa sprout sandwich which QF served onboard flight from MEL to SIN via SYD for refreshment before landing at SIN way back in 1985. I requested for muslim meal and was given a meal that was clearly stated to be suitable for both muslims and hindus ... so vegetarian lah
The dude sitting next to me had a juicy looking, albeit non-halal, turkey and ham sandwich 
The nasi goreng served on KL from KUL to AMS in 2005 was also yuckish and close second (not sure cooked in KUL or CGK).2. I thought MH always uses plastic utensils ... anyway, all my life, I've flown MH only either domestically, to MES (in 1995), to SIN and to Oz for countless of times. All my other trips especially the ones to Europe were via foreign airliners! Also as mentioned before (a few months ago); my muslim meal from AMS to KUL in April 2005 used a plastic knife but with stainless steel fork and spoon
Best omelette (with mushrooms) - muslim meal breakfast on SQ just before arriving MAN from SIN via BOM in 1998. I wonder whether this was prepared in SIN or BOM
Best Nasi Lemak (with mild chicken rendang) - muslim meal breakfast on NZ from SIN to AKL in 2005.

Absolutely brilliant! 2 out of 3 of my passion rolled into one ... bliss

I was never in the debate team. When I was round about that age I listened to this on my trustworthy SW radio most of the time~!BTW, I knew about this MYR-SGD thing from what Dr M said during the 1990 GE.
When I was in Form 2 in 1979, only the 'Mat Square' (a.k.a. Nerds) read about these sort of stuff in the newspapers. Those in the 'mainstream' reads only the exciting news about sports and entertainment news
-
Your hints about ministers, oppositions and what not was the 'give-away' ... else I haven't got a clue who the Minister of Finance was in 1979 ... I was in boarding school from 1978 to 1982, hence didn't really follow these sort of news unless one was in the debating team ... you only read the back-paged sports news then
-
In 1979, SGD 1.00 = MYR 1.01 . The MOF at that time initiated a series of actions to close the gap, but it backfired. I'm not familiar with what he did, but IIRC it used a huge amount of the people's money, and the backfiring result caused the MYR to deteriorate. The particular minister is now the MP for an area in Malaysia that has never fallen into the hands of the opposition in an opposition-controlled state.Ku Li was in the opposition once what?!?
-
I was only 14 then, hence do not remember such fiasco, but I do however recall that our MYR was already lower in value as compared to the SGD way back in late 1977 ... maybe KC Sim can comment ... assuming he is much older than just 14 way back in 1979
-
Why blame AK Fendy? It makes economic sense if you ask me! I totally agree with Walter in questioning MH's profitability vis-a-vis their flights to the Philippines ... just let AK take care of that route and MH should concentrate on more profitable routes such as the UK, Oz and China (am I correct?) ... my 2 sen la

Thanks for the analysis SV
1. I honestly do not recall the interior layout of the aircraft. All I could recall was that it was a work trip (to Pasir Gudang) during World Cup USA '94 and the inflight announcements made during the flight were in Malay, English and Mandarin; and it was definitely a twin-aisled aircraft. It was definitely not a jumbo and since the A300s were retired in 1992 and the A330s only came about in 1995 - then this one's either a DC10 or MD11. So can anyone further identify whether I was on a DC10 or MD11
2. The SQs I took in '96, '97 and '98 were either the A310 or A340 then. Again, it definitely wasn't a jumbo but I did take SQ's B747-200 during a flight from SIN to KUL in 1995. I accompanied my wife for her work trip then. Our flight back to KUL was supposed to be on MH (our KUL to SIN flight was on MH's B737-400) but we changed to an earlier flight, hence the SQ B747
-
Guys - There were a few flights that I took in the last 12 years which I, for some reason or another, had no memory
of the types of aircraft which I boarded. I was wondering if anyone could help identify the types of aircraft ...1. Flight from the old Subang T1 to Taipei on MH in June or July 1994. The flight stopped in JB and I disembarked! It was a twin-aisled wide-bodied aircraft ... was it an A330 (A300?) or MD11
Anyone ... ?!?2. Flights from Subang's T2 on SQ to SIN (subsequently to LHR on a B744) return in June 1996, April 1997 and April 1998. These ones I honestly couldn't recall whether they were twin-aisled wide-bodied ones or single-aisle narrow-bodied ones
... anyone?!? -
Hisham,There WAS a post on A.net (don't know the header anymore):
"During cruise FL340 TCAS warning occured due conflicting traffic on same FL on collision course...ATC requested KLC to turn 30 degrees. at same time TCAS RA occured. crew followed advisory to descent. conflicting traffic followed advisory to climb. vertical seperation 1200ft. both flights continued uneventful"
KLC aircraft was PH-JCT.
Oh ... ok, thanks
Must have missed that one

Air New Zealand will releave their new livery soon
in General Aviation
Posted · Report reply
I'll be looking forward to this new Air NZ livery! Don't you guys reckon that it's also time for Qantas to introduce a new livery? They introduced the current livery way back in 1984 and that's more than 20 years already! Perhaps they should do it with a touch of the traditional aboriginal art!
