Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 According to Google, MH KUL-JED is only twice weekly. Is this correct? Only during the Hajj season. Otherwise, it can be 6x per wk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 MH 150 to JED departs at 15:00 and MH 151 arrives from JED at 11:05. Not really friendly for pax returning from JED either. Perhaps they're planning for this flight to connect with Project Hope's flight instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nastar 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Pretty much negligible connection ex-KUL other than MH71 from NRT and MH140 from SYD (didn't take overnight connections into consideration). MH 150 to JED departs at 15:00 and MH 151 arrives from JED at 11:05. Not really friendly for pax returning from JED either. ** MALAYSIA AIRLINES - TN ** JED JEDDAH.SA 15NOV17 22NOV17 MH 870 1357 SUB 2 KUL M 0900 1240 0 CONNECT KUL 738 MH 150 1357 KUL M JED N 1500 1935 0 29OCT17 23MAR18 333 14:35 From the Amadeus reservation snapshot, look at the outbound flight ex/SUB, arriving KUL at 1240hrs and connect JED at 1500 on day 1,3,5 & 7 Connecting time to JED is 2hours 20min. On the returning, 1day stopover in KUL is required. If u want to have perfect connecting in & out, split timing for SUB ops is required. We know that umrah market ex/Indonesia is HUGE. If the pax want non-stop flight, no transit, no stopover; pay more and they get GA/JT or whoever flies non-stop to JED. But we know that these non-stop flights MAY cater for high-end or more affordable pax and not all paxs are willing/afford to pay to that level. There are also a sizable market that doesn't mind transiting or stopover at one or more point(s). This is normal. At least MH is trying to get a chunk of business in this market. If the market is picking up, daily flight is also possible. same goes to split timing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KK Lee 5 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 MH will resume SUB beginning October/November 2017: MH871 KUL0630 - 0810SUB 738 x246 MH870 SUB0900 - 1240KUL 738 x246 Why that departure time ex-KUL tho *insert big eyes emoji* If in Europe, the airline would have night stop at SUB and depart early morning for connection at KUL to wider network instead of optimized just for JED only.

Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 If in Europe, the airline would have night stop at SUB and depart early morning for connection at KUL to wider network instead of optimized just for JED only. MH is not a European airline, and KUL is not FRA/CDG/LHR/ZRH/MUC/FCO/IST/AMS. At 3x weekly you can roughly guess how confident MH is in SUB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So is that 8 flights per week? (x7 +x1)? They should deploy A350 on this 11 hour journey and save 30 percent cost as its a long flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelson 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2017 So is that 8 flights per week? (x7 +x1)? They should deploy A350 on this 11 hour journey and save 30 percent cost as its a long flight. The numbers correspond to the day i.e. 1=Mon, 2=Tue, ... 7=Sun and X=not operating So 7=Operates on Sunday only while x7=Not operating on Sunday (and thus implying operating on all other days i.e. Mon to Sat) Therefore it's still 7 flights per week, just slight change in schedule on Sunday's flight departing KUL and hence resulting in the slight change of timing for Monday's flight departing AKL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
