Keith T 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) maybe these destinations are not capable of handling e-tickets??? im just guessing, but it could be the case. HKT can handle etickets. Could be a problem on MH's end. Having said that quite a few destinations can't handle etickets yet. IATA can mandate whatever it wants but I'm quite sure paper tickets will still be used after 31MAY. Edited April 14, 2008 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azri M. 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Is MH cancelling London Gatwick? Why LGW was removed from the online booking system? Apparently they changed their mind... They silently decide to axe gatwick even before it flies... According to Airpearl in A.net: Gatwick flights just got canned. An MH memo to travel agents a couple of days ago blames "operational reasons". I think it's more about poor summer bookings from the UK. MEMORANDUM To : All MH Travel Partners. From : Regional General Manager – Malaysia/Asean Ref : RGM2.28 029 Date : 08 April 2008 SUBJ : WITHDRAWAL OF GATWICK (LGW) SERVICES IN NSO8 Kindly be informed that Kuala Lumpur- Gatwick vv operation will be withdrawn effective 22 June 2008 – 18 September 2008 due to operational reason. Malaysia Airlines Nett market fares will be removed in the fare sheet with immediate effect. MOHD SALLEH AHMAD TABRANI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2008 Today (26 April 2008), finally all destinations can be booked online through MH's website including Dubai. Extremely troublesome to my end, I have a story to share about it but I am still very upset and furious over the matter. Let me cool down first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Wow MH! Surprise, surprise! Browsing through it now. I think the layout resembles Emirates' website. The only difference that I see is that MH's booking engine is on the left, while Emirates' booking engine is on the right. And the red/orange background behind the smiling cabin crew can change colour to green and purple. Wow...! HOWEVER, The dropdown menu in the beautiful new booking engine is missing with 21 destinations (old problem encounters again). There's no Bandar Seri Begawan, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kunming, Xiamen, Shanghai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Yogyakarta, Beirut, Macau, Male, Yangon, Karachi, Jeddah, Colombo, Istanbul, Phuket, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. London Gatwick, which was cancelled is there! Upon further clicking, when you have been directed to the other booking page, which looks like this... ... all the missing destinations are listed in the dropdown menu there, and London Gatwick is nowhere to be find, which is true. So make sure you make your booking from this booking page, not the main pretty one. MH please fix this ASAP! Other than that, no other comment, yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 The smile on the MAS stewardess' face is an enigma. Looks more like a laugh. What is she laughing about? Hmm.... ! I think Emirates and the Singapore Girls' smiles in SQ's advertisments are more refined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 MAS' website appears to be more visually pleasing than her immediate competitor - SQ (yuckky and tired grey) and CX (overdose of green). I like the new look of the website. It is a huge improvement compared to what it was before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) On the whole, it's very nice, business-oriented and to the point. MH just needs to update the details, like there's no mention of the new "Regional" lounge at KUL. Also, is the lounge at FRA closed now? Also, the Enrich online "appears" to be missing on the main "Loyalty" page - it is hidden within the new sign-ups page - this has to be rectified, and does not appear to work...yet (perhaps).

Azri M. 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Upon browsing the different cabin classes in the website, I stumble upon BUSINESS CLASS. Have MAS changed the name Golden Club class into just the BUSINESS CLASS???? This is following SQ where it changes the name Raffles class to just Business Class.

Izhar Z 1 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Looks great. I just hope they make sure the details are all there, and the bugs here and there are fixed, before they rush and make it available. All the lacking overshadowed the new mainpage and just give people other excuse to hentam them further. I believe the booking page is still the same, right? Cant they just revamp the whole site, or are they going to 'upgrade' the look gradually. (heck, i dont know if the terms i use are correct or not. not an IT guy). But at least there's improvement. So, good job. Yay...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
