Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

...and lovely isle I traveled Malaysian airlines, and they will be my airline of choice for such long (26 hours last time) bouts of travel in the future. Let me tell you why. (Oh please, please let me). WHY I CHOSE TO FLY MALAYSIAN Malaysian Airlines was recommended to me by my younger brother and his wife who had flown with them on a fairly recent trip to Europe and were very impressed with their personal entertainment systems. As my husband and ...
...first pleasant surprise was that Malaysian airlines were substantially less expensive than other major airlines. (This certainly makes a difference when you are trying to save your hard earned Australian dollars, knowing they are going to be reduced to virtually naught when converted to the mighty pound). On a return flight from Australia to England in February 2003 we paid around AU$1770 (approx £657) including taxes for Malaysian airlines tickets ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

In Aug 2007 I completed the following flights thanks to enough enrich points. AKL-SNGviaKUL, SNG-PNGviaKUL, PNG-KUL,KUL-AKL. I vwas really proud to be aboard MAS once again. The complete experince from booking the trip to the end of the trip was superb. I would like to give a big Congratulations to MAS for winning the worlds best cabin staff award 2007. They truly deserve every single bit of it. Check in was fine I might add it is wonderful being ...
...through Bussines class even though I was travelling economy class. I was also able to board with business class passengers even though flying economy class. From the moment you board, "Welcome aboard sir" was the greeting. The wonderful cabin crew also showing you were your seat is truly makes you feel right at home. The flight was a little delayed due to a group of passengers loosing their pasport. Certianly no fault of the airline. Excellent ...

...all been booked up and Malaysian was the best deal available. This proved to be a silver lining as Malaysian is definitely one of the best airlines I have flown. Check in was quick and all the clerks were polite and friendly (a small thing I know but it certainly gets the flight off on the right footing!) The seats all had personal video screens allowing a choice of film / tv / flight information and computer games. This is a definite plus on long ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

...Kuala Lumpur between flights. Malaysian organised an extremely plush hotel, transport and lunch for absolutely no charge for all of us flying on to other destinations. It was excellent to have a hotel room for the day and lunch, and of course a stretch of legs and a shower. In terms of leg space on long hauls there's not a tremendous amount in economy class, but business class and first looked rather spacious if you can afford it. Certainly for ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

MAS,the Malaysian flag carrier bills itself as the "Golden Airline" and in many ways it is justified in doing so. I have flown on MAS many times,within Malaysia, and from Kuala Lumpur to London and other places. I have always found the in flight service to be excellent, the in flight entertainment to be more than satisfactory, and there is quite a lot of leg room on board. The aircraft seem to be well maintained and the fleet is a modern one. The ...

...nice for 12 hours). Malaysian were chosen for the next holiday. The choice was made because of the relatively cheap flight, and that they had an extra 2 inches of leg room compared to most other carriers (both my wife and I are 6 foot +). I must say that both my wife and I were left impressed after the holiday. POSITIVES The extra 2 inches of legroom make a big difference. I am able to sit with my legs straight, and not at an angle. This makes ...

...years I have flown on Malaysian Airlines on numerous short-haul,regional and long haul flights.The airline has a modern fleet largely centred on Boeing and Airbus aircraft,their engineering and maintenance standards are reputed to be good, and the hub airport,Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is a delightful,new airport with state-of-the-art facilities. In flight service by the friendly,polite but efficient cabin crew is a delight. I would ...
...magazine tucked into the seat pocket,Going Places,is a good read,although I have come across better ones and the cuisine on board is good but perhaps not the best. I consider they sometimes fall between two stalls and serve bland Asian style food. On a long flight,say,the Kuala Lumpur-London sector,I would prefer to have a choice of a fiery Asian curry and a classic European dish such as sirloin steak. The wines they serve are good,all drinks are ...

...am a frequent user of Malaysian Airline for long haul flights. I travelled from United Kingdom to Malaysia and return each year. The price is competitive and sometimes you can get quite a good deal on this airline. Furthermore, the plane is brand new. Hence you will have your own LCD screen in front of your seat even for ECONOMY class. The service provided is also excellent. The stewards will attend to your needs all the time. Food the most important ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

I have used Malaysian Air MAS a number of times to fly out to Asia and back to the UK and also internally throughout the Asia area. What a great service they offer - I used to use BA or Singapore airlines but find MAS better. One advantage is that they are based in the great airport in KL. What a top airport. KL itself is also quire clean and cheap. The staff on MAS are all very helpful. The food can be a bit dodgy but the service is excellent and ...

Malaysian Airlines is Malaysia's leading airlines and their well worth of their title. I have been using MAS for long and short distance flight and is well worth the money you spend. Their service is great - remember flying with them to India.... service is very nice, food, might need a bit improvement on the taste and choices on menu. Other than that you get ample leg space compared to other airlines. Once i have travelled on their Business class ...
...the cheapest full board airline. They really follow their tagline of MH for Malaysian Hospitality. Their service is up to the mark. Well their range of alcohol drinks available in economy class is limited. Well I guarantee that MAS is worth every single penny you pay for! ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

I have used Malaysian Airlines on quite a few occasions for business & pleasure to Malaysia & also within the country. In all honesty there is very little to criticise them about, they use Jumbo jets for the UK to Malaysia flights & smaller aircraft for the domestic flights. The Jumbos are well equipped with individual screens behind the seats; they offer music, films & games using the wired hand held control you use for operating the system as ...
...or worse than most other major airlines. The staff are very polite, helpful & efficient; they help to make the flights enjoyable & are very attentive when you need their service. The meals on board were at best OK, you will never go hungry or thirsty as they are always serving complimentary snacks & drinks & their in flight magazine made interesting reading. I found the prices quite reasonable considering the distance I travelled check in staff ...

...Lumpur return economy class. Malaysian Airlines recently won the accolade of best cabin crew 2004. I was therefore looking forward to my first flight with Malaysian Airlines, and they certainly lived up to the deserved recognition. . Check in at Heathrow was quick and simple and boarding and take off were on time both directions. . Once seated, the main advantage is the 34 inch seat pitch. Malaysian Airlines are one of the few remaining airlines ...
...has its own inflight entertainment screen with choice of films, videos and music channels. My sound system was slightly faulty, but as I prefer a few drinks and a book, this did not affect me. . There were two main meals served in each direction with snacks in between. I would say food was slightly above average airline food. A choice of 3 alternative meals offered, drinks and wine complimentary. There was no problem requesting additional drinks ...

I booked a flight with Malaysian Airlines in November 1999, departing from Brisbane, Australia and arriving in Heathrow airport London, United Kingdom. The whole flight took 25 hours and despite the time it took I enjoyed almost every moment. The food and drinks were great. The service was great. And the best part about it was that each chair had a liquid crystal display television. The TV had 6 movies, a music channel, and a video game console. ...

I flew from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok last month by Malaysian. The flights all now depart from the new(ish) Sepang International airport beside the Grand Prix circuit. I arrived at the 3 hours early for my and was one of the first passengers in the check in queue. Well, I would have been but the check in displays were not working and I had to go round each desk to find my flight. I then found it saying "wait" which I did and did until I got nervous ...
...go to information - they hadnt a clue where I should have been. Once I found information and got the right desk check in went smoothly. As is normal we boarded according to seat number. The cabin crew in Economy seemed welcoming upon arrival as they always do in most airlines. They were of course Malays but they all had good English, as far as I could tell. After boarding, the flight departed about hour late, due to unexplained reasons, the only ...
