  1. BTW based on the expertflyer GDS data the 339 starts flying to MEL on 24 Nov and not 25 Nov. At this stage I would things are quite fluid.
  2. Just spent some time getting nostalgic by reading some old Subang related threads on here. I moved to Malaysia in 2000 so I never got to experience T1 or T2. I was supposed to fly SZB-KBR on MH in 2001 but missed my flight and ended up having to go from KLIA. In 2005 or 2006 I went to Tioman on Berjaya Air and it was surreal going into T3 which seemed semi abandoned. You could even see markings on the floor where MH check in desks had been previously located. Sadly many links and pictures on the old posst are no longer available although I did find an old aerial picture of T1 for the 1990’s I have never seen any pictures of T2 and curious what it was like so please share if you have any Lastly so many members have stopped posting although I see some on the various MH FB groups
  3. A certain PM didn't want anything to use SZB which would detract from his KLIA project. I believe there was a plan for a convention center and it fell through after T1 was demolished..... convenient
  4. was thinking similar because airlines usually start with e few short sectors for training and testing etc
  5. I checked with the staff last night and thy confirmed it. I also passed them the screenshots of the MH website and response that a friend received from CS informing that you can use the international lounges upon arrival. The story was also passed to the LoyaltyLobby site by somebody (not me) and has now been published. Ive emailed a few senior MH people about this and awaiting the response. Whats bad is that the lounge staff said that Enrich had informed that at all members had been emailed but nothing has been received by anyone that I know. They are also annoyed that management are not taking the website details down etc, The staff also fed back that since late last year the number of people using the lounge for approvals has grown exponentially. I guess that the December triple points promo, upgrading/renewing those that didn't quite qualify and FY flights earning substantially more tier points has caused this.
  6. SKS and perhaps Singapore's Scoot will. Wouldn't be surprised if AK wants to return as well.
  7. I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see anything happening apart from the maintenance hangers
  8. Im surprised that Air Asia doesn't do this
  9. and will they still be Enrich partners.
  10. is it cheaper for airlines? I've seen similar with flights between the Philippines and Singapore
  11. Was looking at this earlier and was wondering why BKK was on there because they are already flying. After a while I realised that the existing flights are to DMK haha. Wonder if DMK will get stopped? Operating both locations is feasible because Scoot operate to both
  12. sorry Craig its was a typo by me because it was Y to SG hence the long queue
  13. There was no immigration officer at the Platinum/Suites checkin whenever I've been there (which is many many times) however those in Suites usually get staff to assist getting you through the business class lane. This guy was flying J to Singapore and the queues for departure clearance were huge. He asked one of the immigration staff for help and was directed to Business lane. After queuing there was told off and sent back to the Economy line at the back to start again. I've experienced this before and was told off for being sent to the business class queue. Another time I was stuck the queue for an hour+ and with minutes to go I organised the 20 people infant of me is that anyone with a flight closing soon got through and the rest waited. Most of the people in front were heading to India or Indonesia and several had issues. At one point the staff in the 4 or 5 open counters stopped or left top deal with issues so nobody was being cleared. After becoming a regular customer of the Airport Fast Track service I was able to call them and get instant paid pass to get through if the queues were bad. Thankfully since last year I can use the egates now.
  14. Did they only have every other counter open? Saw that a popular travel Youtube guy missed his flight owing to the immigration queues.
  15. The gates in SG can be slow and the minute you have a minor eye issue then don't work which is a pain. The issue seems to be a particular model and both by Singaporean and expat friends say the same thing. Im a UK citizen and find the gates at KLIA much quicker than those in SG. As for the KLIA queues it's mostly a lack of staffing where they man every other counter. Pre Covid I was due to depart at around 8am so at 06:40 I looked and no queue so grabbed a quick snack. By 7:10 there were huge queues owing to staff finishing at 6:45 am and not enough there after. Somer of the issues cant easily be solved owing to many more places needing a visa to enter than required in Singapore.
