Andi C 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I'd very much like D7 to operate out of Kch though kekekeke.. then the wait is all over... Sure, it will be operated by a regular A320 .... Anyway back to the topic .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I'd very much like D7 to operate out of Kch though kekekeke.. then the wait is all over... KCH cannot even support A320 loads on their regional routes (that was why they were cancelled). D7 would be committing suicide if they deploy their A333's there!

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I still think there should also be a KCH-PER 2X weekly flight by MH... At the moment, it does not seem so But who knows, it may turn out to be one of those 'same aircraft connection' flights via BKI ? As good as direct flight, really 5-6 hours on the A320, my God! We've endured longer than that - not particularly pleasant but it is survivable No accounting though for what condition one will be in physically and mentally for rest of the day Talking of which, wouldn't that be somewhat near to the upcoming BKI-HND and BKI-PER on 738's ?

Well, OZ deploys A321 (sometimes A320) on their ICN-BKI-ICN routes (& KE's using B738) And MI & TR to India as well Remember BI used to deploy their 757s between BWN & PEK (that's 7 hrs each way) Edited October 19, 2010 by Andi C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been on BI A319 to PVG before but it's comfy. Better than AK IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jahur 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2010 Just read the newspaper and saw Mas Promoting its brand new boeing sky interior cabin. It seems that MH's 2nd hub in BKI will likely utilize most of the brand new B737-800 on most of its international leg. Starting: Nov 15- Kota Kinabalu> Haneda 3X weekly Jan 2011 Kota Kinabalu> Perth 3X weekly Kota Kinabalu> Seoul 3X weekly Kota Kinabalu> Kuala Lumpur everyday March 2011 onwards Kota Kinabalu> New unnamed routes mostly targeting china and australia Pray these flights will do well.

The flight should arrive around 11:30am-ish in BKI, so camera people should be ready. Edited October 21, 2010 by Sharil Abdul Rahman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
