    they are OK :)
  • They are alright. Nothing special.

    The plane I was on had a SNES like game console on the back of every seat, so that helped pass the time.

    The best bit about them is Kuala Lumpur airport. Fantastic!

    My favourite airline when I've flown to Oz was Cathay Pacific. Absolutely fantastic, attentive blah, blah, blah.

    We recently used them for a trip to Malaysia, they were pretty good, decent food not too squashed up in the cabin etc. I would be happy to use them again for a long haul. ;)

    Compared to Heathrow KL is a very small airport

    Hi
    I'm on the way home from Oz having flown Malaysian. I'm pretty impressed so far (although the cabin crew uniforms are alittle dodgy!)

    The entertainment systems are really really good. Helps pass the time a lot, just make sure that yours works properly.. I flew Manchester->KL (~12hrs) and then KL-> Brisbane (~8hrs) and the system didn't work on either flight...... coming back OZ->KL I got a brand new top of range entertainment system.... you choose your movie, can pause, ff, rwd the movies etc AMAZING! (I ended up watching chittychitty bang bang and playing millionaire all the way back!)

    The cabin crew can't do enough to help and nothing's a problem for them (If i remember right, they won awards 5 yrs in a row or something)

    .....ooh, and another thing....when I booked I was offered free return flights within Malaysia for stopovers. You have to fly via KL anyway, so you might as awell stop for a day or 2 either side.

    I flew (return) to Borneo for 1 week on the way out, and I'm now spending 3 days in Singapore on the way home...... all for free!!!
