From CRISIS Airline back to WORLD CLASS?

[@fatingggggg]

Malaysians are renowned for their hospitality and its heartening to see the resurgence of MH. Proud Malaysian here 🥹

[@Swaggerlot]

Shill!

[@Shiffyy]

I had that lady at 6:36 as my cabin supervisor during my flight from LHR to KUL (MH1) back in January and she was lovely to both me and my girlfriend! We were also in business and she was very attentive to our meal requests and entertained a very chatty passenger so patiently. Later when I told her that I’ve been away from Malaysia for years, she warmly said to me, “Thank you for choosing to fly with us and welcome back home!” Because of her and her colleagues, I chose to write a positive review of their service to which she and her colleague gave me and my gf the entire galley’s worth of Malaysia Airlines salted peanuts and teh tarik sachets to bring home hahahahaha. She definitely made my homecoming memorable and I’m so glad to see she still does an equally amazing job!

[@Shiffyy]

@@RO-pd2nn but credit where credit is due. If she underperforms in economy, obviously that is not acceptable. But nothing suggests that it will happen. At least not on her part.

[@navvir]

It's the welcome back home that always gets me right in the feels. Ive never heard any other airlines saying that. Probably because I wasnt listening.

[@Shiffyy]

@@navvirdefinitely. Doesn’t matter who says it. A welcome home just hits the right spot all the time💯

[@leealex24]

More like world class to crisis back to world class. MAS was a top 5 star airline just 20 - 25 years ago.

[@scruff520]

That was very kind of you for pointing out to the cabin manager that you were very happy with there service, as you say they have to deal with alot of nonsense but to get great feedback in any job is wonderful. Good foryou Josh.

[@SteffenDorn]

Thats why I love to fly with MH. They might not have the best hardware but the crew is always - for me really always - perfect performing, lovely, funny chit chating. I love it - no matter if in Business or Eco.

[@Swaggerlot]

Another shill, where do they dig them out?

[@manishmanandhar1997]

We flew Malaysia Airlines 4 times last month from Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur and Bali to and fro. I have nothing but praise for the whole flight experience for our travels. The crew served us well and were very attentive to the demands of the passengers as well as ensured everyone had a proper flight experience in terms of meals, drinks as well as entertainment. Would really recommend the airlines and also prefer it for the south asia travelling in the future.

[@lloydbrock2711]

I flew Malaysia Airlines to Langkawi last year. The crew are second to none, so genuinely hospitable, warm and friendly. Love them!

[@Swaggerlot]

Shill!

[@vincentchin88]

You know the secret? Majority of the crew are local hire. When they put on their uniform it is like representing your country for football. So their warmth can be felt.

[@Swaggerlot]

@@vincentchin88 Sad to say I flew four sectors this month. Three out of four were late, up to nearly two hours, the male cabin crew had members who were arrogant and rude to passengers. The food was awful. Why do I use them? Only because their routes and timing are convenient, nothing else and this may have been my last.

[@vincentchin88]

@@Swaggerlot Sad to hear that. Mine so far was good from them. Had mediocre experiences myself from other airlines. Pretty unlucky 3/4 of your flights were bad.

[@Swaggerlot]

@@vincentchin88 Flying can be a varied experience. The passenger seated next to me also uses MH a lot and has had few problems, but he was also very unhappy with the flight we had together. I think the problem is not with the Malaysian staff (except for some of the arrogant male cabin staff), but more with the MH management. Maybe a new COO is needed, as just boasting about cabin service in the inflight magazine does not address the other operational issues the airline suffers from.

[@micheleandreacomaschi6250]

Living in Malaysia I can confirm you that in a couple of years Malaysia Airlines made a great great job! Well done!

[@franko7033]

Flown MH many times and, honestly, my experience of the cabin crew is exceptional too.

[@ChineseKiwi]

I can say the same for their budget airline subsidiaries too (Firefly Airlines and MasWings)

[@MichaelReidOttawa]

Their crew is awesome. But I was not impressed with the catering on a EZE-JNB route

[@lontongstroong]

Yeah they've been consistently very very good. I think this is a trait among many airlines in the region too.

[@leealex24]

More like world class to crisis back to world class. MAS was a top 5 star airline just 20 - 25 years ago.

[@JustSomeAussieGamer]

Flew MH from Penang to KL recently. Its barely a 40 minute flight, and yet, they served Drinks & Snacks, everything was efficient, on time, the crew were fantastic & kind. So much so, i'm booking my next Long Haul on MH.

[@SusanS777]

Good to see Malaysian getting better. Second review of them this week and both are pretty good. It is always great to see improvement

[@voicelag]

Its always nice when you get praise at work. People are quick to criticise but not so quick to give deserved praised

[@Yassir11]

Good to see MH is back with positive vibes.

[@LivinCindysLife]

You have convinced us to take a trip to Bali via Malaysia Airlines! Wonderful video.

[@alexdavis5766]

I grew up in Malaysia in the 90’s and used to love flying with them, then we flew with them a few months after the missing plane 10 years ago and the plane was empty and we felt so sad for the crew. Haven’t flown recently with them, but I’m glad to see they’re still going strong.

[@daledonaldson3672]

As a flight attendant in the US, thanks so much for your words of advice to your viewers. Our job isn’t always pleasant, but a simple smile and a thank you make all the difference to us. Sincerely. Even a simple reply when we say hello during boarding is most welcome. You can’t imagine how many people simply ignore us, when it’s our job to get you to your destination safely. Thanks again.

[@Sam-wx4qx]

I was in that same seat in the golden lounge on 4/4. Malaysian Airlines is actually really good, good crew, nice plane, great food with chef meals

[@noeldolor822]

Funny how you, Sir Josh, along with Nonstop Dan featured Malaysia Airlines in so short a time span! Yet here is MH trying to pick up the pieces after experiencing such rough skies--and nice to know that Malaysia's flag carrier has worked so hard to rebuild its trust and is now flying smoothly and steadily into a brighter future. Plus, the renowned Malaysian hospitality and caring service will make MH be highly esteemed. Brings me flashback when I flew Malaysia Airlines in the '90s when it was among the benchmark carriers for quality service, prestige and a commitment to deliver the best--of which it is doing now. Many, many thanks, Sir Josh, for your thorough and very pleasant, balanced review :-)

[@d.g.1594]

Hey Josh I'm happy to see that Malaysian airlines has improved over time. Plus Malaysia is now for having great hospitality and it's nice to see the crew showed that.

[@vozo-bw7ei]

Is it a coincidence that Nonstop Dan and Josh both posted their review on Malaysia Airlines in the space of less than 24 hours? 😂

[@humanity2914]

Oh. A different person. I just watched Dan channel few hours ago reviewing MAS. I tought they are the same person until i saw your comment. 😂

[@marcusianaviation9372]

LOL I noticed that too. And it's awesome how they both loved it so much :D

[@willw7050]

Actually prefer Josh's videos. The main problem with 'Nonstop Dan' , is the food-reviews! He eats Vegetarian; so he never really show-cases the airline's normal gastronomy offerings.

[@munichflyer]

My first thought, too, if it was a coincidence. On the other hand, Dan flew into KL, but Josh flew out.

[@Chinemeremdozie]

Naw fr

[@repatch43]

Some of the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met and worked with have been from Malaysia.

[@Tube152525]

The MH crew has always been a pleasant bunch, and their sincerity really shows.

[@ShinRa]

I think customers play a part in the crew's mood as well. I just witnessed last week a middle-aged Malaysian Chinese businessman (Karen) guy in a suit grilling a cabin crew in Business Class (Malaysia Airlines domestic flight) just because he was doing his job collecting headphones back as we were about to land. Not only did he argue back (and didn't return the headphones), he even held back the line from disembarking the plane just to make a whole scene by verbally abusing him and mocking how he spoke (to my eyes, he was being racist as the cabin crew was of a different race) as he was the first person in line. The poor crew couldn't even smile after that.

[@loeshalberstadt9998]

Hello Josh, this is a really good review as allways so thank you. Greetings from the Netherlands🇾🇪

[@ntly923]

I was very pleased in all my recent flights with Malaysia Airlines. Their crews are one of the best in the world.

[@simonpearcy2411]

I’m on this flight next week. Flying Malaysia Airlines LHR -KUL - Denpasar my first flight with this airline and very much looking forward to it

[@adamhidayatjasni4477]

Love the refurbished 737s.. looks clean and neat. Also crew has always been great

[@GaryAng69]

Welcome to Malaysia, Josh! ❤

[@ruykava]

I flew the MH 737 in a 2 hour flight just last week and I was actually BLOWN AWAY. Good things are happening. Took the Book the Chef option (beef). Crew was so attentive. I did not expect it. Very happy.

[@manikdahiya4722]

Recently flown MH's A330 from DEL-KUL and the crew was amazing

[@amirsalleh2533]

Flew MH recently from KL to Kuala Terengganu and return on the 737. Paid for the XL seats in economy right behind business class. Well worth it, super comfy short flight 😊

[@scotishtaffy]

Great report Josh, good to see MH has turned a corner. Always had great experiences with Malaysia Airlines, great cabin too.

[@plushybonnie]

WOW. THEY ARE BACK MALAYSIA AIRLINES WAS RETIRED IN 2016

[@jimhankinson4428]

Good to see that Malaysia Airlines is doing well again - and you fooled me with the mystery cocktail button. That would be something. I haven't flown them recently, but would definitely consider doing so again.

[@ThisnametaKenny]

Thanks for the review Josh. Will check out MH on my next flight to Manila. Service looks great. Glad ton hear they're bouncing back from the bad times.

[@sebastian0018]

Great Video,Josh! Sadly, I never flew Malaysia Airlines, but the make a pretty good impression.

[@leigh5152]

I’ve always loved MH both long-haul and SEA regional…I wouldn’t hesitate to fly them again…and I like the KUL lounges in both the regional and long-haul terminal…actually also a cool terminal hotel in the international facility (though not affiliated with MH, it’s nothing flashy but does the job and I could be the ultimate AvGeek and stare directly into the cockpits and watch them prepare for the flight (yes, a bit creepy, but that’s the view from the window!)

[@rongraham9372]

Josh a really worthwhile review of how an airline can make a real comeback from just an average airline. Having done the same flight as you did a few years back and it was average compared to Air Asia who excelled. Keep them coming Josh. Still a bit concerned about your career change in the near future.!

[@alohapeter]

Have not flown them recently but always routing for them. Hope to try them soon.

[@clarkvincentga-as]

The one you're riding at is a domestic configuration of the Malaysia Airlines' 737. The international configuration of their 737 has the IFE on the seats, as Simply Aviation had shown.

[@susanstadtlander9140]

Josh you are so correct how a crew member can make or break your flying experience, especially in first class! My last flight from Mexico to JFK was with Delta in first class, a seat I paid full price for. The head stew for the front cabin was the nastiest, unprofessional, short tempered representative for this airline I have ever encountered. The rude scale was off the charts, but the last straw to ruin a usual lovely flight was having a snack basket shoved under my nose without a word or smile before our descent into the airport. My chin literally slid off a bag of chips as the basket was abruptly pulled away. Omg, there were no words! I usually give the front cabin crew starbucks gift cards, but after this flight, they went home with me.

[@atulsworld6490]

Hi Josh I have got to say you are one of the most honest flight reviews! Keep up the good work!

[@ammohd5779]

Tq for the review bro . I love MAS

[@zacp96]

i flew them from london to darwin not long after all the issues (economy) and honestly they were amazing!

[@yhfhdcf]

they fly to darwin?

[@CrazyCo1]

Malaysia airlines cabin crew are the back bone of the company. They shud be rewarded always.

[@herbertthiery3331]

Been flying with MH a lot last one being last year for a 45 minutes flight and it remained the same, they were exceptional, snacks and beverages were given with an amazing crew service every time I flew with them

[@MileHighFlyer]

Glad to hear of the return of MH! I have only had very positive experiences whenever I've flown MH...✈️✈️✈️

[@tehgerbil]

I love flying MA, honestly a great airline with brilliant service. The food is delicious, too!

[@jeanetcall3116]

This reviews really helps a lot for us future passengers.

[@christianmichael8381]

Josh makes great content! 🔥

[@supericeman1]

Hey Josh, thanks for sharing, have a great day!

[@dshock2903]

A wonderful stream Josh. Really enjoy your videos and this was a good one.

[@ridzwanhassan5551]

Malaysian hospitality ❤….selamat datang ( welcome 🇲🇾)

[@simonhutchings6073]

Josh Malaysia Airlines looked like a great travel experience definitely one to travel with .😃👍

[@sk-bt1gg]

best to send in a complimentary letter the company praising the crew. it'll make the crew feel even more happier.

[@irana87]

💯

[@leealex24]

More like world class to crisis back to world class. MAS was a top 5 star airline just 20 - 25 years ago.

[@detlefcbiehn8510]

Thanks Josh for this report. I always was hesitant to fly with them. So next time I am in the area I will go for their c-class.

[@Hionut-gb3et]

This only shows how much important is the crew serviceability on the whole experience!!!

[@TheRareVideosXL]

Great content as always.

[@sampinington5136]

Wow small world Josh. The same cabin manager flew me from Manila to KL in June. I was sat the opposite side to you. She was lovely. Full of smiles. The other FA was also really lovely in the business. The flight was literally just a tier point grab to gain gold with BA, but it turned into a great experience. Would definitely recommend Malaysia Airlines. 🎉

[@philstanton231]

Good thing you flew on Bonza when you did Josh - looks like they maybe over

[@stanleovart]

Nice to see fresh videos from you, Josh. And its cool to issue own reviews as well at the same moment; feeling as a part of big family of aviation bloggers ✌️

[@Aussiepete1962]

Hi Josh , just thought you would like to know that Bonza Airlines here in Australia has just announced that they are going into administration as all their aircraft have been repossessed .

[@stevesonnenschein]

Wieder ein sehr schönes Video!!

[@christinac92]

Josh! I love your videos but I wish the recent ones were longer! I can’t get enough!

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Interesting video. I trust getting through DPS was unproblematic.

[@alvintherobloxian6928]

You should try out Hong Kong Express, it’s Hong Kong’s budget airline and basically the low cost equivalent of Cathay Pacific

[@michis5755]

The seat comes with usb and usb c which is always great to c (see) 😂 2:51

[@TheMrsAA]

My country's airline! Pride and joy ❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you for this review. Airlines between the islands of Aruba (where I live) & Curacao charge that or more for a 20-30 minute inter island flight 😵‍💫 You got an incredible deal!

[@Gednur]

Hi Josh! after few years, today i flown MA domestic on their latest 737 Max. A super great aircraft with quite engine. The crew is wonderful as always since the last time i fly with them. I always believe when the crew performing well, your flight will be enjoyable regardless the class you in.

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

make sure you have an apple airpod with you or any other GPS, just in case

[@clairelabtah6175]

On any airline I always like to praise great cabin crew 🎉

[@jennymark7403]

Hi josh big news bonza in Australia just had there planes repossessed omg people stranded everywhere

[@thewindowseat77]

Great Video! Seems like they are striving to get better like the former days when they were a 5 star airline.

[@onizzkarei]

Thanks for the honest review Josh 🎉❤ Luv MH

[@ganrea8220]

Malaysia is a very nice airlines. I've never got any problem during flights. Josh... If you wanna do Rome-Kuwait with kuwait airways let me know 😊❤

[@siphomogale779]

Great service in Malaysia

[@KamaldeepSingh-b5z]

Great review, Josh... it's nice that you had a good experience with my national airline this time! Reminds me of the time I travelled on this exact same flight in late June last year although they hadn't had the refurbished cabins back then. Also, you probably know this, but I wanted to mention that the morning flight (1st out of the 3 that ply on KUL-DPS daily) is in an A330 that has fully lie flat business class seats in a wide body configuration 😉

[@jonathanlovo7391]

I like the video so much Josh well done

[@Avgeek122]

Josh is the best reviewer of airlines

[@PerthPlaneSpotting100]

Great video Josh!

[@munichflyer]

Hey Josh, it’s worth mentioning regarding Fast Track Immigration, that it’s available to all pax booked in premium cabins, regardless of the carrier. Flew of KL to BKK with TG just a few days ago.

[@MHG1023]

It´s good to see MH focuses on what they do best: "soft product". I´ve had similar experiences with them albeit in Economy Class. Unfortunately they were forced to withdraw from Europe (except for London, UK) due to severe financial troubles a couple of years ago ... So, I have to choose other carriers between Europe and Asia for the time being as MH does not really market their London flights beyond the British market and having two stops towards destinations beyond KUL makes little sense. I do hope they´ll return to FRA or AMS eventually and they would get my business again.

[@martinlamprecht7426]

great airline and kudos to a carrier that invests in refurbishing its older 737-800 for a seamless pax experience (flew Max and -800 in Feb. 2024, Langkawi-KLIA-Colombo)

[@teazerfemi]

Thank you so much for your lovely efforts,I am so happy and over excited to see Malaysian air back to it's glorious days,as an ex cabin crew I am so proud of that cabin crew you mentioned, that's how it should be, if you have a bad day drop it at home before reporting for a flight, kudos to all the Malaysian airlines cabin crew and thanks Josh for those lovely words, such words motivates me a lot and keep me doing my best

[@daljitsinghkler3694]

Great review

[@edwardpk888]

Malaysia airline boleh!

[@citroenvtr]

try out Transavia its an airliner from the netherlands the flying most boeing 737-700 but the have the airbus now in service that flys from amsterdam schiphol airport

[@MrSchijtzooi]

Thanks Josh. Love your work.

[@arabesque2222]

Was this video filmed when MH was having contractual issues with their caterer in KUL? The meal certainly doesn't look like a business class meal.

[@lontongstroong]

Gosh makes me suddenly crave for MH's Kacang Masin (the salted peanut). Airplane peanut unlike any other.

[@annedewsbury3354]

I love the idea of the "mystery drink".

[@charanjitsinghsingh7]

Namaste from Melbourne Australia ❤️🦘🌹🙏

[@iwasmidnightrain.]

one thing i have learned from this guys video is how much he loves winking. AND I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I BLUSH ACTUALLY.

[@namanula]

I want to press that cocktail button & see if they’ll bring me a ‘QF’ (sorry, an old drinking reference… you’re too young, Josh!). Great to learn that Malaysia has put much of the sadness of their terrible year behind them, & is providing excellent flights.

[@ChristiaanHunter]

thanks

[@bernardtan3639]

Malaysia Airlines is renown for their good hospitality❤️

[@jb8328]

MH crew are excellent, the rest of the airline leaves quite a bit to be desired though

[@treeboomex]

I flew once the same FLIGHT, and the crew was amazing, great job MALAYSIA AIRLINES and greetings from MEXICO.

[@donaldknowles9640]

Josh is a good boy , Malaysia Airlines is a good airline

[@mahmoodsoleja9068]

Very nice ! 🌟 Lots of love Take care 👍
