I have the fondest memories of Malaysian airlines and I do hope they can recover in a meaningful and long lasting way. I’ve always found the crew to be incredibly calming in even the most hectic and frantic environments. And boarding a MH flight in a foreign country to fly home when one is homesick is one of the best feelings ever.

The “unions are killing airline quality” would fall a lot less flat if US carriers weren’t the most profitable on earth. US airlines get away with sub par offerings for one specific reason… because they can. Putting profit above pax experience is a choice, not a circumstance.

Very educational! I had no idea that MH had stopped flying to LAX. I flew on MH over 2 decades ago out of LAX . I was impressed by the airport in Kuala Lumpur, and the infight service was good even in economy class. I hear ya about boarding. When I was boarding a flight out of Kuala Lumpur, a fellow traveler almost mowed me down on the jetway. A gate agent pulled the guy aside and asked me to proceed. He, however, let that rude fellow passenger off when I was barely a few steps further down the jetbridge, and that jerk pushed me in his hurry to board. No intervention happened the second time. Thankfully, I didn't have to sit near that jerk during the flight.

Kevin, in 2018, I had a business class ticket booked with Malaysia airlines (through Expedia) DPS-KUL-SIN. Maylasian air cancelled the DPS-KUL. However, they would not refund my ticket, because the KUL-SIN segment was still running. I spent 10 hours cumulative on with Expedia, and Malaysian air, both blaming each other. No progress. Morale of the story, book directly with airlines, #2 Amex is your friend. As they refunded everything

anyway, regarding terminal 1 and 2 of KLIA, there is no rules that allowing specific type of carrier to operate from each terminal. Full service airlines can operate from Terminal 2 and low cost airlines can operate from Terminal 1 if they want to. For example Air India a full service carrier operates from Terminal 2 and Super Air Jet, a low cost carrier operates from Terminal 1.

Its interesting if you look at the history of Malaysia Airlines vs Singapore Airlines since the MSA split in 1972. How their fates have diverged. While SQ has gone from strength to strength to become one of the most profitable and best (if not the very best) premium service airline in the world, MAS...had a rather more uneven trajectory. A period of steady growth for Malaysia Airlines in the 80s and 90s and good customer service ended in 1997 with the Asian Financial Crisis. Since then the airline has a wildly up-and-down roller coaster ride in terms of profit and service. MAS has suffered from repeated losses as it struggled to compete against the growth of AirAsia and other low-cost carriers. And of course in the 2010s it suffered from the two tragic fatal crashes with no survivors, forcing MAS into bankruptcy, renationalization and massive restructuring and layoffs. The airline finally made a profit again in 2023 if I am not mistaken. Here is hoping the airline can have a brighter future and leave the turmoil of the 2010s behind.
@tfft
@tfft Ай бұрын
True, but there is a massive difference between the two. SQ had a single mission from the jump. All they needed to do was fly to and from Singapore. MAS needed to develop a domestic network- likely growing it later than it should have started due to the previous MSA tie up.
@MrTomcat104
@MrTomcat104 Ай бұрын
@@tfft Yes, SQ has an advantage in that it only has a single hub in Singapore. However, the need to develop a domestic route network should not be some debilitating handicap for MAS. Most major international airlines today have both a well established international+domestic network. The need for MAS to develop a develop a domestic network therefore isn't an excuse for MAS's struggles since 1997. The bigger issue was mismanagement and wrong strategies by MAS.

As a long time TK flyer, for over 30 years in all cabins, I can say that the catering is very repetitive and uninspiring. I cannot recount how many times I had Aubergines, pumpkin soup, baklava, Turkish meatballs (köfte) with bulgur and farmed sea bass 😅 😉 I guess it is just like the MENA airlines and their mezze offerings. TK has become a political tool of the Erdogan government, as can be seen with the recent NYC Mayor Eric Adams indictment. I avoid them on a personal principle. But I guess it is best to know less of the politics behind the scenes as an ordinary FF 😉

Try flying this plane from Perth to KUL. Malaysian Airline fly a 737-800 from Perth to KUL. flight time is 5 hours and 45 minutes. Considering they also fly the A332 and A333 the service can be a huge difference. The best boarding I have had with Malaysian Airline was domestic from Penang to KUL. There actually planned and places signs for every boarding stage. Each boarding stage had a separate line. Either way if you want priority boarding and baggage you can just pay for economy flex

I fly MH regularly for economy short hauls and quite enjoy them. The service is a highlight, slightly below SQ and on par with Garuda and better than Thai Airways and the current CX service (which has sadly gone downhill vs. pre-COVID). However, I think MH positioning in these shorter routes can be a bit awkward. Kinda felt like a lite national carrier (slightly worse on-time-ness, poor IFE, lower selection on drinks and food) but better in all of these aspects than a budget carrier. The price is appropriately in between. Having an in between positioning is usually not easy.

0:55 I blame the mess that is KLIA T1 and T2 is down to greed and corruption. KLIA had an original masterplan that made perfect design sense and coherence that allows for a seamless transition between the different terminals. Out of nowhere KLIA2 came up and totally abandoned the beautiful original masterplan and T2 was built with so much cost cutting the initial design didn’t even include travelators. It was added after they realised how long and far the walks are from your gate to baggage claim would be. I loathe every time when MAS air fairs during peak season are too expensive and I have no choice but to take air Asia and use T2.

EMBORG butter , from my city :D so do Emborg Catering do the FULL menu? or just the butter ?

Just the butter I presume. Emborg is probably the most prominent western food service dairy brand in SE Asia.

Based on history Singapore Airlines is branched from Malaysian Airlines akin to a subsidiary? By simple deduction Malaysian Airlines should be better than SQ...

Lack of entertainment is a problem and no drinks under3 hour flight why would you pay business class rates. I would go with another airline that supplies

You are rite. For the price / value of biz class. This is a total joke. Beside Non Alcoholic drinks during less than 2 hrs. If you don’t bring your own tablet or no carry headset, you will not be able to access the IFE WiFi. Either u bring a book with u or just do meditation during the whole flight. 😅 also sometime the WiFi is not working at all. The dining table is flimsy & seat are much harder. The so call upgraded fleet with the NG status is very misleading. Hence if I have a choice I would pick Thai airways biz anytime for the regional route. As TG deploy wide body fleet rather than the tiny old narrow body. Similarly, lots of people would rather take a short flight to Singapore & fly sq for regional or international flights due to better value & quality offer under the same business class product. They should be more realistic as if they can’t compete with the product quality for biz class than they should consider lower the price against their competitors just like BA. ( KL - London route) better value for money than MH. The only consolation is the Malaysian hospitality that offered by the cabin crews. They are consider one of the best service crews.

thanks to point out the 3 hr. no-alcohol MH flight policy. I choose TG on the same route all the time with good foods, services and Singha beer to go with the foods even in economy.

An interesting video. Like a lot of people, I've avoided Malaysia Airlines since 2014. I was therefore not aware that it had suspended almost all of its long intercontinental services, including its flights to LAX. For more than 20 years, the flight I took with MH from LAX to TPE in 1998 was my longest flight sector ever, and it was pretty good. The ensuing, much shorter, sector, from TPE to KUL, was even more memorable, as the MH 747-400 was so lightly loaded with passengers and fuel that it felt like it was jumping into the air as it departed from TPE, rather than just taking off. Those were the days.

@@tfft You would understand why I would comment in such a way when your flight is canceled and you can't get through any of their hotlines or live chat for days. Their rescheduled timing is absurd and totally unacceptable. Not only would booking another flight on short notice cost me more, but I also had to change my itinerary. It's not due to weather or technical issue but Malaysia Airlines' service manpower and parts shortage. All this could be avoided. Totally lost faith in their service ever since.
