Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 9, 2015 They may have difficulties in finding a buy for second hand A380-800s! TK is looking for 10 of those, so that might be a good buyer... indeed, K C, see what he did to EI too - and they were far down the drain too !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jani 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Isn't it correct? Anyway, good effort, but looks too much like Thai's. I absolutely hate the current livery though. Hopefully whatever new aircraft order won't be using the Philippines flag livery.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Probably it's just me but I think it would look better with a gold Wau against a darker tone of blue. Nonetheless that is a good effort and definitely better than Philippines flag livery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ja Singh 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Abit o/t but I created this livery for MH's 777's me think it looks great soorox,just add a slanting red& blue/gold wau on tail and a tiny one world logo on the fwd of the malaysia airlines word and maintain the flag at the end of the same word.viola! it’s interesting yesterday I travelled back from akl to kul with EK as MH did not have flights on Mondays, so A380 to MEL and & 300ER mel kul. Whatever they did in terms of service was just what Mh use to do it its hey days. Hot towels to start with. good quality toiletries in toilet but they were locked in to discourage pilfirage.Mh needs to follow suit on this one saves a ton of $$ if your toiletries are locked and also a mouth wash in the toilet like Sq essential! Also get rid of the clumsy gigantic wine bottles and soft drink cans and introduce the mini wine and mini soft drinks cans like they did yesterday on EK. Also like EK and also QF drinks and food should be 2 different trolleys cause if on one like MH by the time the last pax is served, meals are cold ass. On Ek food trolley goes out and right behind is drinks trolley. On jet airways the order is reversed, drink trolley goes out and immediately followed by food. On MH only wines and juice is on the same trolley with the food cart hence restricting the choice or having one crew run a million times to galley back and forth to cabin. Yesterday I asked for a spicy tomato juice and a shiraz and she had everything on her drinks cart to serve on the spot. And KLIA sadly looks so run down and dated.

Run down and dated not quite there,... I wonder what would you think of the tin shed like terminal of AKL, MEL, SYD... For AKL, the only good part was the new pier that caters for the A380, the rest was very much shopping mall like, which is a big yawn.

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) When i say its dated i am benchmarking it against changi or CLK Hkg.The day we start benchmaking it against mel or syd,it will be a total disaster. KLIA is not much dated when compared with HKG. Both KLIA and HKG opened around the same time. HKG has nothing done to it since opening, except perhaps the retail shops. I felt KLIA is 'warmer' in terms of interior, the timber. HKG is just dead cold looking concrete jungle, including Terminal 2. SIN, while it is probably the crown, but saying that KLIA is tired and run down is just too much of a 'big' claim. Anyway this is O/T. Don't know how this KLIA 'issue' came about under the B772 replacement discussion. Edited February 11, 2015 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2015 I don't think KLIA looks tired and run down. It still looks pretty good to me after all these years. What looks old and run down is KLIA2 and that's not even a year old! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 KLIA is not run down !!! What I particularly like is the view of tropical trees when at the airport, both at MTB and Satelite...it gives such a nice atmosphere, esp. when you just arrived from cold and dull weathered AMS OK, now back to topic again (772 replacement) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 I agree on that. The hsrdware nerds to be consistent. Currently their B777 vs A380 & A330 is just to different.They're not worlds apart. Only the A380 has flat seats in J, albeit without direct aisle access like the 333 and 772. (Before I get flamed for this, I'll agree that it's acceptable for the prices they're charging) Yes, the 772 has somewhat inferior IFE, but hardly what I'd call "too different" even in Y.

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 If MH is going to let go all their A380, why their homepage still putting up this pic?? And I wonder how much compensation they are going to make for those who have placed the First Class Bookings on the A380 routes to LHR and CDG. Maybe a re-fitting in of the First Class into the B777? I do hope that they maintain LHR and AMS using the B777 at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't supposed to be cost cutting and the B777 is quite old and not fuel efficient. Plus the description clearly mentioning A380 ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
