Jeffery Lim 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2014 If the walkalators are raised, then it is a similar concept to the one in IST airport. It is troublesome that you might as well walk straight instead of going up and down, lugging your luggage along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khalil Abd Halim 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Can't you read ? They say there is a global shortage of walkalators - even if you have money, also cannot buy Potential retail space, they had plenty to spare  haha...i intentionally omitted to read that part...dont want to mess my head with nonsensical statements "malaysian style" If the walkalators are raised, then it is a similar concept to the one in IST airport. It is troublesome that you might as well walk straight instead of going up and down, lugging your luggage along we need those walkalators to help us walk faster, with those long neverending corridors dont think it was meant for leisure walking and sight seeing...so at the end of the day long walk is still required...only faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cire 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 How can they overlooked this issue? They expect the passengers would actually like to take an hour stroll along way to the gates lugging heavy luggage and all? And while at it, small kiosk will be put along the way to distract their tiredness. Incompetence as it was never on the blue-print or deliberated because of the already inflated cost to build the airport? Â How one know the ball park figures for such walkalators? Â Anyways, the walkalators is surely required here. And while at it, please educate the users to always stand on left, so that extremely late passengers can pass through on the right. I noticed that Malaysians don't generally know about this small but helpful courtesy.Its time to put signs up not only at airports, but also every where else in the city shopping malls etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So everyone who have been to england but not Singapore will be standing on the wrong side according to you.

Mulyadir Fitri 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 Shops at domestic departures from K gates are all closed.. dont know if its for good..How many domestic flights use the K gates daily? So far all my domestic flights use the J gates. Maybe they want to focus all domestic flights to J and close down K for a while until there is sufficient demand to operate from there?

V Wong 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) It's official - the MAHB CEO mentioned to the press a few days ago that the longest track to boarding gate is 1.6km. With only 2 travelators - at least one of which was not functioning during my recent trip. Edited October 20, 2014 by V Wong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact until I went to Singapore I did not know that there was such a thing as stand on the left .....I know what you mean - I tend to end up standing on wrong side of escalators/walkalators when I go travelling, which then make me susceptible to back poking and reprimands from my wife I sort of like the system we have here at home - no one cares which side is 'correct' - if you need to go past, just shove through gently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
