Thank you Walter and Radzi for welcoming me and giving a clear answer to the transfer question. Thus: I hereby declare this a real disadvantage of using LTTC for international travellers (that don't have enough money to travel internationally And maybe also valid for the cheaper airlines. About the Garuda seat; it was on a long flight from AMS to SIN that I smelled something burning, plastic. We were seated in the middle (5 seats) row just in front of the movie screen. The smell was alarming, so I stood up and walked around. But the source had to be where I sat, I looked under the seat and suddenly saw some smoke coming out from beneath the cushion on the seat. I lifted that bottom-cushion and saw two electrical wires that were smoking and maybe because I lifted the cushion gave a small flame. Tearing them apart was enough to stop the process and I called the stewardess. Showed her the blank wires and the traces of burnt material and guess what ? she didn't see the problem. Asked her to inform the cockpit crew about this in need of repair cables and seatnumber. She would do so and I used some plastic to insulate the wires and put the cushion back in the seat. Expected the flight engineer to come by and inspect my first aid repair. And again disappointed, noone ever came back. We left the plane with a note about it on the card for complaints. Which lead it was ? I don't know till today, maybe 24 Volts and regarding the thickness fit for appr 8 Amps, and assumed it had something to do with the overhead lights. And I'm still wondering why the Garuda crew didn't show any interest in this potential dangerous situation, malu ? So far so good, I'll inspect the AirAsia before boarding. One of the advantages of having to board an acft via the apron. Jacob

Hello Malaysian wings lovers, I think I have another deficit of the LCCTerminal. Coming from Medan on August 21 with AK939 arriving 22:05 I have to catch the next flight with Emirates to AMS which departs 00:55 (Aug 22). Purchased my tickets through the internet (May 18) and this was the first time I was on the site of AirAsia. Went through all the info on the site and thought that this cheap aircarrier was the best connection for me. usually three hours is enough for a transfer. After having done all the reservations, including the Concorde Inn I started to look for more info on LCCT. Last time I was in KUL was 4 years ago. Came accross the shagadelica.net pages and more and started to wonder if there would be a passenger transfer service from the LCCT to the MTB or the satellite terminal . Didn't find anything about this transfer on this great forum and sent an email to KLIA and AirAsia, as well using their forms for inquiries or questions. But no answer yet. From the other sources I found on the internet neither found a firm answer to the question how international transfer is organized at KLIA if using the LCCT. If there indeed is no service for luggage to be transported from an aircraft at LCCT to the MTB or Satelite terminal and one has to go through customs at LCCT first and then the complete checkin procedure at the MTB again (after having had that only an hour before at MES) ..... This must be frustrating. So please, if someone can tell me whether there is a facility to change airliner (transfer between international flights) inside custom area or one has to go out and surround the airport to check in again at the MTB I will be gratefull. I also read a topic about the airport tax. I purchased my electronic ticket May 18 for flight to (July 11) and from Medan (Aug 21) and paid for 4 pax the sum of 140 MYR which means 35 pp. I agree with those that want to have money back because AirAsia will pay for the airport tax the first time on July11 and then the airport tax is only RM25. In my case I should get a refund of 40 MYR. But won't try it because the AirAsia helpdesk didn't even give an answer to my question about the transfer... And if I find some cracks on board the AirAsia, July the 11th I'll make a picture and post it here if we survive. I have seen similar malfunctions on board Garuda plains, even had to extinguish a fire below my seat once. Thanks in advance and greetz from Holland JAcob sorry for this long version of my question, the short version was too short.
