Just had a look at their Facebook page and almost every post is a complaint about flight cancellations.

OD uses brand new aircraft so most likely those cancellations are not technical in nature.

 

Overheard one OD flight reporting 88 POB today.

KCH 9pm flight was cancelled too...

took 2 flights with OD

1. JHB - KUL, Sunday 12.10, there were less than 30 pax onboard, afternoon departure

2. KUL - PEN, Monday 13.10, around 50 pax onboard, late afternoon departure

 

so......the load aren't healthy on both flights...

Their flights to/from Penang is the most confusing one. 2 different set of plane to 2 different airports. If you are not careful when choosing the flight, you will end up in KLIA instead of SZB.

Oh my....88 pax! That's bad man. Hahas! I weren't talking about the technical part, rather the flight cancellation and delay part which was a norm with AirAsia when they first started of as LCC.. I can still recall AK used to give out RM200 as credit shell if your flight is delay more than two hours from original departure time. I got it a few times. Now they dun do that anymore with so many A320 working around the clock.

 

Not sure if this has been covered: Malindo is going to do KUL-SIN, beginning January 28, 2014.

I was hoping they'll do SZB-SIN and break FY's monopoly on the route. FY is too expensive.

Has been asking myself, why FY doesn't operate out of KUL (using turboprop)?

I was hoping for so too. FY fares is crazily expensive!!

I think it is MAHB's plan to keep all turboprop out of KLIA, and KLIA2 and concentrate all turboprop at SZB. This also helps to ease congestion at KLIA and KLIA2.

I just think smaller and cheaper turboprop will feed MH much better from secondary airports at KUL.

But definitely FY is a community airlines, serving local traffic rather than feeding MH's long hauls.

Agree with you. MAHB needs airlines to utilise the Subang Airport as well, if not it will be heavily underused if only MAS Engineering, AIROD and some other MRO companies are using it.

Why can't they focus all the Klang Valley operations to KUL including the MRO and such? I understand the need to have a second airport in the Klang Valley area due to the distance between KL City and KUL. Won't that strengthen the KUL hub for pax as well as cargo and MRO? Just a thought.

interestingly, OD offers 10% discounts for frequent flyers. Booked myself on 3 separate itineraries, flew 2 and received emailed earlier today, about 10% discounts on the next booking.

Nice gesture methinks

Hmm. I think they should start FFP instead of this.. so that more people would fly with them..

Yup, me too. Received 9 mails from them offering same discount. They give unique promo code for next booking.

OD is going to allow connection from KUL, currently only Dhaka can connect to all the destinations, including CGK and DPS.

[Kenneth Chong WT 0]

Probably a rush job promo - some small oversight is bound to happen.

 

Also explains why they bombarded some people with countless emails.

Talked to a friend that just came back Australia from Malaysia. He is a Sarawakian. Asked him if he had tried out Malindo. He said his father in Sarawak advised him not to take Malindo even though the fare was cheaper as Malindo is owned by "Indonesian Lion" and it is not safe. Their 1st and only choice is always AK
