Hello,

 

Just an update. Hope you guys don't mind. biggrin.gif

 

Child Meal Box Set (at least for narrowbody flight ex-kul, maybe nicholas can confirm for widebody flight biggrin.gif )

- Now come in paper box instead of plastic box

- 3 nicely design/colour; red, blue and yellow

- Each colour represent different type of MAS widebody a/c. Namely B747-400, B777-200 and A330 series

- After meal, children can cut (pre cut already) the paper box to make their personal paper cut aeroplane (B747-400, B777-200 and A330 series) to play with biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

- Better then the plastic box

- This is what i called "form follows function for functionalism". rules of Bauhaus laugh.gif biggrin.gif

 

Playing Card

- no stock.

- no uplifts.

 

Why?

Cost cutting.

 

Thanks,

Fai.

CHML (Child Meal) on request basis only made by their parents. Whereas YPTA (Young Passenger Traveling Alone) and UM (Unaccompanied Minor) automatically entitle for the CHML. A wise ticketing officer will make a request on behalf of his/her/our little passenger. smile.gif

 

I don't understand, why MAS doesn't allow their ticketing officer (who is interested in joining the cabin crew dept) to "switch" their job. Their knowledge (ticketing code and etc) is valuable especially when handling difficult F or C Class passenger (upgraded/restriction/etc case) trying to fool us. I'm still learning the secret code of ticketing from my ticketing friends.

 

 

Yes, playing card = poker card deck.

 

Just to make things clear,

Playing cards and peanuts are not the standard items/uplift for economy class on narrow body flight. However on Airbus flight peanuts are standard item/uplift. Plus limited quantity of playing cards available onboard.

 

Normally, when economy class passenger asks for these items on board narrow body flight, we will manage to get some from GCC. Basically, GCC pax gets the priority lah abis cerita (to end the story)... smile.gif

 

Walter,

The chances, ermmm, not sure. But from my own experience. About 90% of the meal service flight I did to date got chml. Maybe now is the good time, school holiday kan. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

On my flight back to Auckland early November 2005. I asked for playing cards to kill sometime in a 10 hours long flight. The crew told us that MAS have not prepared the cards for that flight and that they don't have any at all! It was a widebody Boeing 747-400 as well. I seriously think that flight was my worse MAS international flight ever. But fortunately the a/c is very new......9M-MPQ delivered a few years ago.

These cost-cutting measures have touched quite a few things on the passenger / customer side. If it goes on, there will be left only skeletal remains of what little MAS passangers are used to and may backfire on the airline. What comes with the 'premium' passengers pay for when they fly on MAS.

 

While it can be appreciated that they are cutting cost, I think removing too much of the little comforts from the very people who are helping to prop up MAS by flying with them, should be the very last resort.

playing cards is no longer produced or distributed, at least that's what the flight attendant told me on the recent MEL-KUL flight. then the inflight menu also not distributed but shown on the TV to save cost... btw, i took economy class

I think displaying the menu on the PTV is a good idea, that would be so much better. Plus some passengers would need to know exactly how the dish is prepared. Beef or chicken option is just isn't detailed enough.

 

But seriously...how much will it save lah... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The display manu on the PTV is just few line of words discribe what they serve. Not display the pcitures of the food that they going to serve in the flight.

Isn't a few line of words to describe how the dish is prepared, enough? Printed menus don't have pictures of the food also right! not even first class

Honestly speaking I don't care whether they provide paper menu or PTV menu, the most important thing is the food itself.
