Yeah. Noticed that too. Tax is at RM15 ex SIN. It should be RM100 thereabouts

Wah not so good timing (if you're connecting to or from some other flights in SIN on separate tickets) or if you want a full full work day in Singapore. :(

If you looks closely, ex SIN doesnt include airport tax, just RM15 for admin taxes. or Changi is implementing departure tax just like Indo airport, huh? :drinks:

I bet on the night time, their 739 flies to India and Bangladesh. Aircraft utilization in the day time, maybe? :pardon:

AA as in Air Asia or American Airlines?

 

For the record the IATA(?) code for Air Asia Malaysia is AK.

 

Haha ;-)

 

During my stays in Malaysia everybody said AA for AirAsia...i know that AK or AXM is the IATA-Code for AirAsia Malaysia...dont worry ;-)

For the end of 2014 Malindo is planning with 8 B737-900ER from KUL...utilization could be like this :

 

Jet 1

0715-1305 BKI

1355-1645 PEN

1755-2055 SIN

 

Jet 2

0700-1200 KCH

1300-1750 BDO

1915-0410 DAC

 

Jet3

0700-0945 KBR

1025-1315 LGK

1545-2115 BKI

 

Jet4

0920-1610 DPS

1915-0635 BOM

 

Jet5

0840-1650 TRZ

1815-0555 DEL

 

Jet6

0800-1100 SIN

1145-1440 SIN

1555-2120 DMK

 

Jet7

0955-1500 DMK

1540-2000 KCH

2040-0440 CGP / 2150-0610 TRZ

 

Jet8

0800-1045 PEN

1125-1620 CGK

 

So i hope anybody knows the 3letter codes? There you can see that there is just one more timeslot at Jet8 in the evening.

But that means there will be no backup in case of technical etc!

Malindo web booking system seems to have a lot of problems. I have given up trying to book flights on two occasions and booked on Firefly and AirAsia.

 

They really need to get their web booking system working properly as for sure they are loosing business not just when people can't get it to work but next time customers go straight to AK, FY, MH etc

Finally manged to book Malindo flights to Singapore return at RM215 all in. Not that cheap but considering the free 20kg check in luggage, it is almost comparable to Air Asia.

I also noticed from the itinerary confirmation, the aircraft used on this route will be B737-800. Is this a new or leased plane? I thought Malindo only operates B737-900 from KLIA 2? Can anyone confirm this?

The fare still remains at RM215 for the last couple of days.Holding on and hope it will go down when Malindo needs to fill up the planes :blush:. Jetstar fares are slight cheaper but the bad thing about Jetstar is if one pax buys check in luggage, all pax booked together needs to buy, no option of only one buys :angry2:

Yes you can. Look for "manage baggage allowance by passenger" (or something like that)

Malindo Air introducing 3x weekly flight on Subang-Ipoh route effectively on/from 3 Oct 2014 on board ATR72-600. I guess KNO is the next unannounced destination as it's seen in booking engine.

 

Looks like:

 

Johor Bahru to Ipoh from 17.10 4 times weekly

Medan to Ipoh from 17.10 4 times weekly

Chris - Thanks for the info, looks like Malindo is still a better option!

looks like an aggressive expansion and they are tapping on routes which are currently not served by other airlines..good for them

This year, Malindo's focus is on their turboprop ops. They did not take delivery of any new B739s but added five ATRs to their fleet bring the total number of ATRs to ten aircraft.

Thats not right....the fleet of 737 grows from 6 to 8!

 

Malindo hasn't taken delivery of any 737s this year but have taken delivery of five ATR72s.

 

They only have 6 737-9s but should take delivery of a 737-8 later this month.

Ex-SZB fare is high yield, low hanging fruit.

As far as I am aware, their current fleet is six B739s.

 

The reggos are:

 

9M-LNF

9M-LNG

9M-LNH

9M-LNJ

9M-LNK

9M-LNL

 

Their next aircraft, 9M-LNM, will be a Boeing 738 - MSN 39826 / LN 5122. This aircraft first flew on 5 Oct 2014 and should be delivered soon.

 

We track aircraft deliveries on another thread here: http://www.malaysianwings.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19672&page=7

I think SZB operation will likely hit saturation point at 15 aircrafts with routes mostly covered. The remaining we'll see is how FY and OD develop other hubs like PEN JHB KBR with maybe, the max is around another 10 aircraft for each of them.
