(its suppose to be quite good for all the awards that the airline has won)
Malaysian Airline has been a choice of mine as I travel around Malaysia (so to speak) – as I never considered AirAsia (only if I was to buy the ticket at the last hour). Obviously, price was the MAIN determinant of my choice of airline and yet I’ve endowed a sum of money to MAS; enough to buy myself 3 sets of PSP to know enough that there isn’t much difference between these two technically speaking.
So a little about the recent flight experience KL-Miri (and I have to admit, it isn’t up to my standards anymore – regardless its due to the deteriorating service or the increase in my standards) but it is still providing a sufficient level of standard to NOT make me feel cheated of my money.
Upon sitting on my allocated seat 7F(window view), I felt there isn’t a difference in the seat width but a slight disparity in the contour of the seat of MAS in comparison to AA. As the sulking and grouchy looking air steward performing on the ways of putting on a seat belt, I glanced over my seat to see the person behind me contentedly digging through the engorged nostrils of his. Maybe there should be a sign stating; EXCAVATING OF NOSE HOLE IS PROHIBITED.
As the plane is up in the air and I was slowly drifting away from the tight and uncomfortable seat of mine, an abrupt announcement was made by the Captain as he sigh throughout the entire announcement about the weather and the altitude we are in, dragging me back to notice that I am still in the plane suffering another ear pressure block. What a timing.
After a few moments of gazing aimlessly into the tight space given, the aroma of tea and coffee mixing in the plane awaken the entire cabin of stingy passengers thirsting for food and drinks.
As Yusniza (the only smiling air stewardess) serves row by row the packaged goods, faces of the passengers changed from eagerness to disappointment as they open up their goodie box and saw what it seems to be;---
3 sandwiches (tuna, egg, cucumber ), a packet of biscuits, a old looking apple, a puny tub of water and cutlery (don’t know for what purpose). I had much better choices in previous flights such as Nasi Rendang or Pasta. But what to do, beggars can’t be choosers right? The orange juice was given upon request.
The apple in the box that had a hole in it... Disappointing...As I observed how Yusniza chatted with a few passengers, building rapport while serving them, I couldn’t but help to think that Is she really sincerely talking to them or she’s just doing her job? Just something for your mind to wonder for a moment.
DO NOT EXPECT THIS
(Unless you have to cash/credit card to spend on)
This is NOT how the economy class looks like. I couldnt even find the Economy Class picture online so i have noticed that only the business and first class pictures are available. Liars BUT great marketing strategies.
So people, that was my personal experience with Malaysian Airlines KL-Miri. Before my official ratings, just a few positive points to ponder upon if you DO choose MAS airline,
1. People or in most context taxi drivers will perceive you to be the upper class of the society.
2. You DO NOT have to exhaust your dinner or lunch on climbing stairs or walking to the plane.
3. You DO NOT have to fight for seats as it is allocated to you upon checking in.
4. You actually get free food and drinks (I had 3 orange juices) though the standard of the food is still something you have to stop expecting.
The final rating is;
I will definitely upload if there is an improvement or downgrade in the service.
Please refer to the table at the side for more details on how much each points at the rating means. Thank you. If it is not available yet, pls wait for it within a weeks time. Au Revoir
