This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Malaysia Airlines downfall can also be attributed to political interference. The catering dispute was also the result of it.
EMBORG butter , from my city 😀 so do Emborg Catering do the FULL menu? or just the butter ?
I love Malaysian Airlines 🇲🇾👍
0:55 I blame the mess that is KLIA T1 and T2 is down to greed and corruption. KLIA had an original masterplan that made perfect design sense and coherence that allows for a seamless transition between the different terminals.
Out of nowhere KLIA2 came up and totally abandoned the beautiful original masterplan and T2 was built with so much cost cutting the initial design didn’t even include travelators. It was added after they realised how long and far the walks are from your gate to baggage claim would be. I loathe every time when MAS air fairs during peak season are too expensive and I have no choice but to take air Asia and use T2.
Have to correct you there…terminal 2 was not built 'for' & certainly not 'by' Air Asia.Them (Air Asia) were even like in disagreement to move there initially.😅
It was just a replacement to the old low cost terminal on the other side of the airport which to me resembles an inter-city express bus terminal 🫢.
As for history,issues & delays in the completion of terminal 2….people may google that themselves (too long to write history lesson here 😅).
Based on history Singapore Airlines is branched from Malaysian Airlines akin to a subsidiary? By simple deduction Malaysian Airlines should be better than SQ…
This was a fair and most balanced review of MH. Thank you for doing this, albeit on a regional biz config. Looking forward to your MH international review if any are in the works. I am just curious, how do you manage to travel so much while managing a few restaurants?
The MH lounge over at the satellite terminal sure looks quiet. In contrast to the lounge over at KLIA T1, it sure looks comparatively deserted.
KL is one of my favorite places in the world 😊
My first solo travel was to KL and I've come back multiple times over the years. The next visit will be in March and I'm looking forward to it
Actually Malaysian airlines staffs are respectful and kind compared to rude airasia staff. Luckily Malaysian airlines didn't go bankrupt.
Business is all about morality and dignity enabling customer trust to transform into revenue.
I'd rather walk than fly Malaysia Airlines.
Try flying this plane from Perth to KUL. Malaysian Airline fly a 737-800 from Perth to KUL. flight time is 5 hours and 45 minutes. Considering they also fly the A332 and A333 the service can be a huge difference.
The best boarding I have had with Malaysian Airline was domestic from Penang to KUL. There actually planned and places signs for every boarding stage. Each boarding stage had a separate line.
Either way if you want priority boarding and baggage you can just pay for economy flex
Just a friendly reminder Kevin, rather than giving the code for most active airline, you can simply mention the full name of the airline as it becomes easy for the viewers to grab a hold of it!! But your videos are awesome ❤
Just to correct you there, MH never served JFK. They served EWR instead.
Also, quite interesting that you prefer the new seat because I can't tell you the number of Malaysians moaning about how "bad" the new seats are, how there's no IFEs etc….
"eternally stuck in adjusting mode" truer words have never been spoken about the state of Malaysia Airlines. The only thing that's constant with them is their satays in J-class. I think their peak was during Hibiscus 747 "An experienced redefined" livery (to promote AVOD IFE) and Heliconia 777 "Freedom of space" livery (to promote J-class cocoon seat). I think these were one of the most beautiful liveries the industry had seen.
Pretty sad that an international flight particularly business class can't offer a wine with meal service
MAS actually has a very strong appeal, it's better than budget but, not super premium price hence, it's perfect product for 70% – 80% of business/travelers out there.
As a malaysian, idk why theres no inflight entertainment even in the business class.quite disappointing😢
That looks like SIA economy class. Not Business class… LOL
3:55 rip that Malaysia airline A380😮
