H C Chai 4 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 Hi all I am planning a family trip to Singapore and Melaka, travelling in early January. I wonder if you guys can help with the following: 1) Does AirAsia use aerobridge in Kuching for their Singapore bound flight? I've heard from friends that they do, but I'm not sure if this is always the case or just on an ad hoc basis. 2) How reliable is their schedule? Currently AirAsia booking system is showing 2 flights per day (mid morning and late afternoon ex-KCH). I know they are not good in keeping to their schedule and have the tendency of "combining" flights due to operational/commercial reasons. Does anyone here has any statistic (or personal experience) to share? I know Q.2 is a little odd... I could have just booked MAS but their fare is so much more expensive than AK. I would love to fly Silkair but their schedule is just... haih... Many Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 KCH - KUL is super reliable. Perhaps you could do KCH - KUL then to Melaka and then to Singapore before flying SIN - KCH. That way, you reduce your risks to just one sector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 No comments on how reliable the schedule is but in kuching if it rains they will be using the bridge. If its fine and dandy no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an immeasurable degree of comfort in that statement, compared to what that can be said of AK's BKI-SIN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alberttky 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 There's always going to be some element of uncertainty with airline operations. We can tell you based on our gut that it should be fine but you never know what's going to play out on that day. Even the best airline in the world faces some operational issues every now and then.
