It's okay though. Stuff like this happens. They could've swapped it for a Twin otter stopping in Kaohsiung, Manila, Cebu, Davao, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Singapore and Melaka and THEN i'd get upset....

Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Who care anyway...better fly CX... I care BR is an important link when trying to get to the US on a *A carrier. Love their J product too. Well, not so much the A321's but still better than dropping KUL altogether. Edited January 16, 2015 by Chris Tan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, traffic from Taiwan and China is still not recovering huh...I remember in the 90s when Eva air flew to KUL twice daily with 747s Wow, traffic from Taiwan and China is still not recovering huh...I remember in the 90s when Eva air flew to KUL twice daily with 747s Wow!! They flew two jumbos then? I guess there is huge capacity these days with CI offering a daily A343/A330, D7 twice daily A330, BR a daily A332/A321 and MH twice daily B738. Perhaps over capacity? I haven't flown BR before but from family and friends who have recently flown with them, they seem to think that BR has a better product than CX. I will try them someday, to JFK.

Yes, indeed a bit overcapacity, but demand is there. Malaysians like to go to Taiwan...for food, scenery and business. That explains why we have so many Taiwan inspired restaurants here in KL. Also note everytime AirAsia X is having sales, Hong Kong and Taiwan will always sold out first. Eva Air is definitely the upcoming new star in Asia. They have invested millions in both hard and soft products enhancement and fleet revitalisation. Their admission into Star Alliance is a testament of their hard work and excellence in service delivery. They are looking at buying B787, A330neos and A350...
