The first flight will be MH711 on the 13th so that's why Jakarta's shown on the banner. It will be on normal rotation actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything special on MH711/13-Dec to commemorate the retro colours? Worth doing a day trip to CGK? The first flight will be MH711 on the 13th so that's why Jakarta's shown on the banner. It will be on normal rotation actually. Although the website says travel from the 11th? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johan Z 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 I think Boeing 707 wears it best. Since 737 inherited some of the features, shouldn't look too bad.

flee 5 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 Finally we get to see the original MAS livery on a B738. Very appropriate because the B737 and F-27 were the first planes in MH's fleet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharil Abdul Rahman 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 Red is back. Cheatline is back. and mind you, this is the original red! wonder when the other Red will do a classic livery - their eagle head version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 wonder when the other Red will do a classic livery - their eagle head version? They won't do anything if it cannot be monetised. So unless there is a financial gain to be made, they will not bother... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 Beautiful. Maybe asking too much but wonder if MAS will serve inflight meals or refreshments of the type and portion as they did way back then? Current travellers will know how much has changed over the years. To make it even a more retro experience, there should be retro safety cards, crockery and cutlery etc. And FA uniforms! Nevermind. Just take us back to the good old days of golden service :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
