Parley Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 They are essentially bankrupt so no great surprise they are cutting services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srh82 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Used to be v reputable. I'm afraid mh17 and mh370 plus appalling cabin service and dirty planes means never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith and Linda Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My last two trips back to UK was with Malaysia, in fact just got back to OZ on Tuesday night, I have never had a problem with them, and always found them good to fly with, the worst was probably this last trip on the KL to LHR leg, where I thought maybe they are cutting down on inflight services, but it was more likely just that crew as all other sectors were fine, and the seat pitch and width on the A380 (upstairs) is one of the best around. I have to say though that our flight on Tuesday KL to BNE was only half full, but all other flights were just about full. Going back in History a little when we emigrated in 1999 we flew with Malaysia as they were the only airline to give us double baggage allowance for free, then after several years of flying with other airlines we returned to Malaysia Airlines and were pleasantly surprised with the standard of service, bettering some of the others we had flown with, and in my experience I rate them better than BA and Qantas. It will be a shame to lose them but I will avoid airlines that re-route via other Australian cities, only adds more time to the overall journey with more chance of delays and missed connections.

Guest Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I recently flew with BA and Qantas. I always had them rated about the same in my head, but Qantas was far better service, entertainment and comfort. They must be upping their game to compete with the Asian carriers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be upping their game to compete with the Asian carriers My brother flew to UK return with both of them, this and last month, he rated Qantas a lot better than BA too. One of the reasons we don't fly with Qantas is that we have been bumped onto a BA flight before, and BA cabin crew eat 6 lemons each before they start their shift!

starlight7 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I guess Malaysian airlines have been hit because of their mysterious disappearance and also a couple of bad incidents recently. I wouldn't fly with them now, just a couple too many 'incidents'- obviously everyone else agrees, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, not everyone else, two A380 and a airbus 330 to all intents, all full on my recent trip and KL airport was pretty busy too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same experience for my OH recently. Full flights on MEL-KUL-LHR and CDG-KUL-MEL. BUT, they paid only $1500 booking at about a weeks notice...so the seats are filled, but there is no yield at all quite possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be upping their game to compete with the Asian carriers I agree, I've flown with BA to New York and last year one leg home from Aus was with a BA carrier - I thought the food and entertainment was poor in comparison to Singapore and Cathay Pacific!

BritChickx Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If MA was significantly cheaper I would fly with them in future but I checked their prices the other day and they're not much cheaper than that of the above airlines I just stated.

Keith and Linda Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Well I arrived in one piece but the toilets were minging On the several airlines I have flown on over the years I can only remember two or three actual flights ( the 13 hr legs) when the cabin crew went in and freshened the toilets, Malaysian was one and Singapore was the other, I really think it depends on the cabin crew/supervisor, my recent flights with Malaysia toilets were not freshened but did remain reasonable. Have a great time Kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockinTas Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Many a time on long flights I've felt like donning a pair of Marigolds and arming myself with a large bottle of Dettol before using the loo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the toilet is too messy I use the sink :shocked::wink:, need the marigolds then to help squeeze things down the plug hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
