BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 30, 2018 But we do get the A346, which is a treat to avgeeks and spotters! I'm sure many non-avgeeks in QR's A346 Y cabin also appreciate the very much more generous leg room there, as compared to the newer sardine cans in their fleet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amirul Mazlan 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Did Ramani did this? Btw, Air Arabia has flown to KUL in the past, so this is actually a reinstatement. Did not know they flew to KUL in the past. Tech stop somewhere? And hopefully they can sustain it. Since Etihad reduced their flights to KUL not much choice left for Malaysian living there to go back as Emirates (and Etihad) complex pricing often makes it cheaper to fly from somewhere else rather than their home base (AUH and DXB) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
