No point flying in, even through RJ. SIN-KUA is different simply because we're forgetting the Club Med angle - bargain hunting Singaporeans can still enjoy 5-star luxury vacation by the beach at Club Med... NUE to FRA and MUC is about similar distance between KUL and KUA and IPH respectively, and traffic to/from NUE is not limited O&D but connection. With regular service and seamless connection, volume will be a lot higher than O&D and local industry in IPH and KUA will be benefited e.g. club med, etc. Edited July 27, 2017 by KK Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2017 Scoot is serving KCH daily. Flights from SIN departing at 2020-2145 on 123457 and 0610-0735 on 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted July 27, 2017 Scoot will certainly be looking at this service in the context of providing feed for its widebody services. For KCH people looking for a low cost flight, it will mean comparing Scoot's KCH-SIN-final destination and Airasia/Malindo/Malaysia Airlines offerings for KCH-KUL-final destination.

jahur 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) All 5 of them are already quite senior. All seem to have been with MAS for quite some time. Still a rare occasion. Could also be senior crew reactivating back after long grounding/MC or long holiday. Longer 738 flights is doable for 4 crew during meal service as the serving period is adjustable. But for flights under 3 hours it can be hectic hence the silly meal box introduction to cut service time. The good ol days of 6 cabin crew on the 737 is no more. Just had a friend flew on TR post Scoot branding. Basically Jetstar is better in terms of seating and add on cost such as meals and baggage allowance. TR is basically traveling light and no frills add on. Edited July 31, 2017 by jahur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lock SH 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 MH 3 crew now legal if ex station and nobody to sup in after retiming. Theyre really pushing them to the limit. 3 cabin crew for a B738/A320 operation is only legal if the operator lock one of the 4 main doors & limit the number of pax onboard as per MEL/DDG. It surely can't operate with more than 75% pax load. It is a regulatory requirement and cannot be waived by the operator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
