michgyver 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2014 Early next year (February 12) will be able to fly twice a week from Ashgabat to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). For citizens of Turkmenistan provides visa-free entry into the country. In addition, this flight will be docked with the international flights from Ashgabat - Dubai, Germany, France, England, Russia and Turkey, which will provide additional convenience for transit air travelers.

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 B772LR. Seating 28J, 263Y. Not much info on on board service, Skytrax is a mix-bag of opinions. (not the best source to gauge feedback, but we can use it as reference to manage expectation nevertheless). Only managed to find this pic of their J cabin: Photo Owner: Rustam Kalandarov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the most bizarre stuff I have ever come across. Imagine the person sitting in bulkhead seat...... Defacing the leader's pic in Malaysia is an offense under the law apparently. Therefore as advised, do not attempt....lolx! Maybe the same set of crew will operate the flight back to Ashgabat? Hence the loooooooong period of plane on the ground True, actually to be honest. But kind of waste of resource tbh. Maybe they can have a small set of KL based crew to operate intra-Asia flight. A short hop to Jakarta on a B772LR will be a good opportunity for us aviation enthusiast since no SEA-based airline operates it here.
