Mike P 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Perhaps the delay may serve the purpose right. Glitches, airport handlings, luggage handlings, check in, system etc. Won't want a mess, Singapore and UK have suffered it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 I thought it was supposedly a shuttle train service. Likely under Phase 1 Upgrading Projek, after sufficient votes of protest from weary pax have been logged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 Plus a shuttle train is not a low cost material. This is after all a low cost terminal remember (at least the purpose of its built). I can imagine a lot of poor souls are going to run like mad men/women on that bridge chasing for their flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 This is after all a low cost terminal remember (at least the purpose of its built). Even if pax have to walk, it is still a huge improvement over the existing LCCT - at least it is enclosed and air conditioned. Sometimes pax have unrealistic expectations of LCCs... Pay low fares and airport taxes, but yet want the full VIP treatment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about someone arrived in KLIA2 but heading to KLIA to take the first class seat to London? haha, sounds ironic? Oh well, perhaps this is the Government's initiative, walk for health!

Oh well, perhaps this is the Government's initiative, walk for health! The ERL is going to be extended from MTB to klia2 right? So I don't think there'll be issues there.

I am sure that the airlines operating at KLIA2 will make sure that they warn pax about arriving at the boarding gates on time. Those who are habitually late should (as Capt Radzi said), buy new tix!

Mulyadir Fitri 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 At the current RM35 rate, I don't think many will convert to the KLIA Ekspres. Many will still opt for the Skybus and Aerobus. But the RM2 shuttle between MTB and KLIA2 will be a real cash cow for ERL. If the offerings at KLIA2 are really good, people might just hop over there while waiting for their flights departing from the MTB. The new 14R/32L can take its time to finish. They just need to work day and night to finish the apron and taxiways. Operation can still be done via the existing 14R/32L and 14L/32R. Uncle Tony no doubt will surely complain of the long taxi for takeoff via 32R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the KLIA ekpres is a great idea but it doesn't work for me. I live in Subang Jaya about 500m from exit 604 USJ. 12 minutes toll to toll. Can't imagine why I'd bother driving down to KL to take it. I suspect it probably is of limited use to Shah Alam/Klang residents too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
