TripReport | AirAsia X (Economy Class) | Airbus A330 | Kuala Lumpur(KUL) - Sydney(SYD)

Hi ladies and gentlemen, Aaron is here! Welcome to another aviation trip report. Traveling solo this time, I've just arrived at KLIA2 onboard an AirAsia flight (which I didn't make a trip report on). Now I'm ready to depart on an international flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Sydney, Australia on board AirAsia X, the long-haul division of AirAsia. So please sit back, relax and enjoy our overnight flight to Australia! :)

Thanks for the report! The 3-3-3 configuration sounds really tight on an A330 but at least you survived ;) Good memories from KUL, hopefully my home carrier Finnair opens an A350 route there one day..

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Thanks! AirAsia X is a budget airline, so the tight seating configuration is expected. And hopefully I'll get the chance to fly with Finnair as well. 😁

I miss transiting in KL when I used to fly with AirAsia pre-COVID. Also AirAsia is actually quite nice if you can tolerate their seats... the food choice is wide and taste unbelivably tasty

[@Vinavia]

Gorgeous review. Sad that your plane had a techinal issue, but it had been solved, and you had quite a great long haul flight on AirAsia X.

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Thanks. It was quite a pleasure flying long-haul with AirAsia X. And as always, in the world of aviation, safety is top priority. Kudos to the D7222 crew who decided to abandon departure and fix the issue rather than risk hundreds of lives.

[@AirTravel415]

Great review of AirAsia X. 38:22 spotted my favorite airline, Cebu Pacific. you should also try them out someday

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Thanks! Maybe I'll fly with Cebu Pacific one day, we'll see. 😊

[@TripReportaviation]

This is such a special trip report with a technical issue of the plane. Lovely to see VN-A871, a Vietnam Airlines' B787 that I have just flown

[@Bunburyplanespotting]

This happed to me on AirAsia X from Kuala Lumpur to Perth. I was on the window seat and they started taking apart the wing🤣and after a two hours we took off again😭

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Oh my…which part of the wing did they remove?

[@Bunburyplanespotting]

@@aarontheaviationaddict3643 it was just under the flaps 😭

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

@@Bunburyplanespotting Did you see the ground crew putting a new piece under the wing?

[@Bunburyplanespotting]

@@aarontheaviationaddict3643 no what I could see was them take it off and just looked in there with a light and did that for like 2 hours and then they put some tape on something then put back together 💀

Hey mate awesome vid and even cooler name 😁. Cheers for the insight as we doing Melbourne to Seoul via KL on Air Asia. Sorry I didn't see but did they have usb ports at the seat, I might have missed it

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Thanks, mate! AirAsia doesn't have USB ports on their seats. And have a nice trip to Seoul 🇰🇷onboard AirAsia!

[@espieconsorte7263]

Awesome sound

[@purpleladyfye203]

You know.....when flying become part of your life, you can almost differentiate who did the take off/landing the plane...either the Captain or the First Officer 😅 nice report sir🤗

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Wow, really?

[@marcuschooi]

While taxiing, Captain be like: Technical problem Everyone: Wait, what!?

[@aviationtraveller8749]

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Thank you!

[@panutsteve7118]

Wow, beautiful

[@eisenklad]

i hope my flight/s isnt delayed when i go to japan and back in 14 days. i planned a 4hr layover in KL when i'm heading to japan. and the 11 hr layover in DMK when coming back.

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

I hope you don't experience the same thing as I did 😃. But occasionally some things can happen unexpectedly (eg. weather, technical fault, unattended luggage). The best is just to be prepared for the worst case scenario. You may never know what may happen. Other than that, have a safe & pleasant trip to Japan! 😁🇯🇵

[@Cerby1979]

A 3-3-3 configuration on an A330 is usually unheard of. Other A330s are usually in a 2-4-2 configuration

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Yup. AirAsia X is a budget airline, so it uses a denser seating configuration.

[@Cerby1979]

AaronTheAviationAddict Cebu Pacific does the same thing with their A330s. Only difference is that Cebu is all economy seating.

[@imtheoysterbunny]

Nicholas Gauthier it is a A330-300 300 Have 3-3-3 and A330-200 are 2-42

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

@@imtheoysterbunny Actually, the 2-4-2 configuration is also the normal configuration for the A330-300. But since AirAsia X is a low-cost airline, it decides to use the denser 3-3-3 configuration on its A333s.

[@imtheoysterbunny]

AaronTheAviationAddict oh. I thought the 300 was only 333 because when I go on 343/300 it is always 333 even though it’s not budget.

[@mongkoktakeaway]

Nice video... I am sad that AirAsiaX terminated the route to Auckland - no more AirAsiaX/Malaysia for me. I am confused: "Butter" and "butters the bread" what does this mean?

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

Yeah...but at least Malaysia Airlines still serves the KL - Auckland route. Also, if you watch a lot of videos by AirForceProud95, you'll probably understand the meaning of "butter". Basically in the world of aviation, it means a very smooth/greasy landing.

[@mongkoktakeaway]

@@aarontheaviationaddict3643 Thanks for explaining, makes sense. I'd never fly MH - far too expensive!! Looking forward to more AirAsia content.

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

There was a safety briefing during the first pushback.

[@hanssamson5436]

That was nearly full thrust during takeoff

[@socielledstance]

I'll be on the exact same flight in September and excited to watch this video. Thank you for the report! It seems like a busy flight, and hopefully it wont be that busy in September as I'm not planning to prebook any good seat. How was the seat comfort for the whole 8 hours journey? Did it feel a bit cramped? Im worried the seat comfort for 8 hours journey.

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

The seat pitch wasn't too bad. I was fine with the legroom throughout the journey. Thanks for watching!

[@socielledstance]

How is the legroom compared to their domestic flight's? Could u feel any difference?

[@aarontheaviationaddict3643]

@@socielledstance Not much different. I'd say it's a bit wider on their wide-body aircraft.

4:45 Why does the PA bell sound like the PA bell of NAIA T2??

Dunno. Might be just a coincidence. I mean this chime sounds pretty generic, so I won’t be surprised if a few other airports in the world use a similar chime.
