A 5-STAR AIRLINE? ⭐️ Malaysia A330 Business Class Review | LONG HAUL FLIGHT on Malaysia Airlines ✈️
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- Malaysia Airlines used to be a 5-star airline. Then came the financial crisis, then another one, then it became a disaster airline, with 2 horrible incidents within 4 months: Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to Beijing disappeared and later supposedly crashed into the Indian Ocean, and then Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed my militias over Ukraine. It was out of the airlines control, and yet the airline has been suffering immensely from these terrible incidents
How is flying Malaysia Airlines today, in 2023?
We're visiting the airline's flagship lounge for business class in Kuala Lumpur, the Golden Lounge. (the Platinum Lounge is open again now too - but not available for business class but rather for their very, very few business-suite passengers and oneworld emerald customers).
Unfortunately they have a pretty uncomfortable seat in business class that is still used by a lot of airlines. Let's check out the whole flight experience!

Thanks for watching the video A 5-STAR AIRLINE? ⭐️ Malaysia A330 Business Class Review | LONG HAUL FLIGHT on Malaysia Airlines ✈️
MH were my regular carrier to Australia in the late 90s early 2000s.
I am very fond of them from that era.
Whilst they have lost their sparkle,they are a nice options and cabin crew are generally more relaxed than SQ.
I totally agree. And they had really that sparkle you talk about, back in that time! I remember their commercials, all very beautiful and elegant. But as you said, very nice and genuine staff still
I've been watching your videos for almost 1 year now and I'm so glad you continue to post. Your reviews are unbiased and critique the things I truly care about like catering and the amenity kit. Thank you!
Thank you so much. That's really falsification! Please spread the word and share your great experience with my content! I need the channel to grow a little, otherwise it's very hard to sustain it. Thank you, you made my day 😊
A very under appreciated channel, thanks for another great review ❤
Thank you. Please share if you liked it. Thanks for watching TravelSingFly! Cheers from Germany! Chris
Very honest and informative review Chris. Thanks !
Thank you dear John! 😊🤗
Excellent, as always!!! 😊
I agree with the lounge. It was sub-ok. The showers were warm to cold; they ran out of towels, shampoo and soap. I brought a gym towel (luckily) and I had a hotel body liquid soap bottle. The lounge was nice. The electrical connectors were damaged in multiple areas, as I had to move seats till I found one that functional.
Thank you for adding this comment. I agree it's pretty rundown for a still quite new lounge. And I have no idea why that is.....
Great video thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy all my content! Cheers!
Thanks for this great and honest review. Hopefully MH improves their product offerings soon with their newly arriving aircraft
I'm sure that will be great! I really hope so
A330neo and a350 cabin redesigned in mid 2024 will hopefully get MAS alongside bigger airlines
That would be really nice!
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition Yes! they're also going to be getting new business class seats according to the CEO.
You’ve made another really informative and fun film! Love them!!!!!
I love your review. Great sense of humour 👌👌🤩😍
Thank you! Please spread the word and share on social media if you liked it!
Another great report! I’ve not flown Malaysia airlines but I’d hesitate on longer flights based on your experience. We go to Bali every year and one of the highlights for me is seeing the volcanoes of Java on the approach!
Yes, that's really am amazing sight! Too bad that I had big, high clouds on that flight. I really hippie I could present them.... Thank you for contributing! 😊
Cheers from Germany! Chris
Thank you for your wonderful sharing!
OMG! Did you just give me a super-thanks? Thank you very much! That's the first time someone has done that. So appreciate! Thank you, and I hope you have a great time watching the rest of my content! Hugs. Chris
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition I appreciate your genuine sharing of personal experiences without exaggeration or flashy effects. You deserve a larger audience!
So nice to read this. Thank you a lot! I try to be as fair as possible and especially as human as I am. Even though I know that flashy thumbnails and clickbaity, biased titles win... I'd probably have the views of I trashed airlines that are actually great. But then I'm not myself.... Thank you again so much
Back in the day MAS used to do alcohol on their domestic flights. Flew from Kota Kinabalu to Penang which was 3 flights and they served Veuve Cliquot Champagne on all flights. Very modest Business Class prices as well.
Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful!
Your uploads are always informative, fun and worth viewing, thanks again Chris.
Thank you so much! Great to have you as my audience!
Absolutely agree! Pay Champagne prices... Nice to get Champagne in return 🙂 Great review!
Thank you very much! I hope you're having a great time watching my content on this channel
Nice vlog. Spot on the improvements MH needed to stay competitive. Sadly MH is not a 5 stars airline anymore. Provided multiple feedbacks to Golden Lounge on the wet shower room with disgusting grout, clogged sink and shower area but issues still persist. Anyway, I have stopped flying MH since they appeared to be unreliable. They canceled a flight but then reinstated it back and canceled it a month before my departure.
Thank you for the valuable feedback! I think that cancelation and rebooking happens on many airlines. Also to me with multiple carriers... - but yes, there's right now lots of improvement necessary to get close to the 5-star position they once had.
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition Agree, cancellation is a norm these days but my incident with MH was that they canceled my flight few months before departure (an agent told me the flight is discontinued) and before I could reschedule a new flight, MH reinstated my original flight. As I booked my flight via American Airlines, I need to pay change fees as the flight was not canceled. MH agent assured me thr flight was not discontinued but the flight end up canceled a month before departure. AA managed to get me another flight, longer and more transit but I am grateful I got a flight at such short time. Another friend of mine booked similar ticket at a different departure date and had the same cancellation from MH. Anyway, I hope MH can return to be a 5-star airline one day.
Great vlog that provides us with valuable suggestions on our seat choices. I saw the double seats by the window and in the middle of the video, but which ones are better if we are 2 adults? Are the seats in the middle more spacious than those by the window?
You have to look exactly on the seatmap and follow what I say about the individual seats. If it helps, it's the same as on my review about Swiss B777 Bangkok to Zürich, where I go into detail in the last 5 minutes or so
Great video and clear explanation! I’m thinking about the seat selection, we’re a couple and I just booked 4K and 6K, do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for your great compliments! Regarding your seats, I don't like the seats that your reserved, as you can see in the video. But if you have a rather small body it might be okay or even great. Let me know then how it was! 😊
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition thanks for your response! Hence which seats you recommend for us? Maybe some two together seats are better?
As I say in the report, the double seats are better, as at least one of you will sit more comfortably. I actually show also the double seats by the window and in the middle in the video, so you can see and decide 😊
Have a good flight! 😊 Chris
1K is a throne seat with a massive footwell, and is by far the best seat on the MH 333 if you can book it before anyone else.
That's a great feedback for everybody! Thank you very much!
7:59 that kid next to you really enjoying his food..
Ahem....... Yes..... 🙈
A complete overhaul of seat design is needed for MAS.
And for the other airlines mentioned that use this seat, too, actually
that's what the neos are for
They're getting new business class seats on their A330neos, a reverse herringbone seat in a 1-2-1 configuration, according to the CEO. This is the same seat that BA and Etihad uses.
@@lazerzyro4819 fr? not heard it from anywhere about the seating
I love nasi lemak, but I don't think I can handle seeing it in the lounge and on the flight! 😌 Seems like MH is running out of catering ideas.
Yes, and it has to be really good to be really good..... I know that is a strange sentence, but somehow it's true.... 😅🙈
Malaysia Airlines has to up its onboard catering & service. Start behaving like a legacy carrier to compete with the best in the region.
For me I think same too. Because Thai airways have a design seat and cabin is more beautiful and civilized than MH . and Thai airways have destinations to international more than MH. Thai Airways have a more fleet than.
They also have much better catering
MH class J is +1000euro than QR Qsuite same route/Codeshare. Issue ticket with QR.
Interesting. And I hope you can get QSuite instead of Malaysia
FRA-DOH-KLIA. My ticket was issued by QR. 1keuro cheaper but return to Germany, I can't avoid MH codeshare Hardware, schade, Erfahrungen ist schlecht.
@@Machen1988 I'm so sorry.... Weil, make the best out of it. Avoid the throne seat at all costs! Take one of the seats I recommend in the video (or in the end of the Swiss video - same Layout)
Malaysia airlines or Thai Airways which one is better?
Thai. That's pretty clear at the moment. But maybe they'll improve eventually
BRO YOU OICK THE RIGHT SEAT
No idea what OICK MEANS, but maybe you're right
Takes guts to take Malaysia Airlines given the 2 disasters...I won't risk it!
Hi! I talk about the incidents in the report. Did you watch it? Both disasters weren't caused by the airline. It was a horrible coincidence of two disasters in a row... Probably a hijacking of the first one, and then another one shot by missiles of militia in Ukraine. Could have happened to Emirates, Lufthansa, KLM etc etc as well... It was just the worst of luck
Ridiculous! Disasters. Everyone knows both are freak accidents, if not it has always had excellent history. Hundreds of flights have taken off since those accidents. We're all still here.
Really, accidents !!!!!!!!!!!
I am planning to fly to Bali, but I'll either be on an A350 or an A380, both of which have far better Business class seating than these little planes.
Singapore Airlines gets me from JFK to Singapore on an A350 and then to Bali on a 777 (Singapore Airlines 8548).
That's fair enough for me. The 777 is pretty good if you can't have an A350.
There's no A380 going to Bali, except for Emirates. And the A330 is not a small plane, by the way
If an airline doesn't provide a First Class, that's an indication that it's not a top airline.
Thank you very much for this feedback. I'm thinking now if I'd say that too..... Actually EVA is a fantastic airline, e. g., but without a first class (although their Business is better than BA First).... QATAR does have First Class, but only on those few A380 - does that count? They're a great airline anyway (have you seen that Qatar First report on my channel? Really fun to watch)
Thank you for being part of this channel 😊
Not true, it all depends on the business model and strategy. Having first class but a bad commercial decision is most stupid
the word is impractical if i m not wrong!!!!!
Very true so
It's a damn shame you have to fly in Business class to get a decent seat.
The economy class on those small flights is HELL. Regardless the class you're in, the food service is extremely limited.
I only fly business class - regardless the cost because I have no otheer choice - I simply can't fly in economy ever again.
I disagree. First of all, this is an A330, which is a widebody plane, and then economy service on most big Asian carriers is pretty good. And this plane was almost empty in Economy, while it was full in business class. I'd choose economy next time
Just another complainer
Hi Zalmai!
I'm inviting you to have a closer look at my channel. I have probably the fairest, most positive reports out there. And watch the video itself. You'll see, it's very balanced and looking out for all the good spots, but including also spots that can be improved.
