I don’t know what got me to post about Malaysia Airlines. Let me tell you what happen. This morning as I was cheking my email, World Perk (Flying Loyalty Program of North West Airlines) send me an email about how to earn miles faster. All of a sudden I went to malaysianairliens.com and singaporeair.com to see what is latest in their loyalty program. While browsing mas.com, I recalled my happy experience flying from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney. I must say it was one of my best flying experience with them though I have been flying with them for long. Before I share my happy moments with mas, I must say something of history about my country’s national air carrier. On the 2nd February, paying passengers could be welcome onboard only after 10 years later (1937). Only 5 passengers to Kuala Lumpur. The flight takes off either from Singapore or Penang. That was with the name of Malayan Airlines Limited. Following the separation of Singapore from the Federation of Malaysia on 9 August 1965, the Singapore and Malaysia governments took over majority control from BOAC and other shareholders and the airline was renamed Malaysia - Singapore Airlines.  On 3 April 1971 the airline was split into two companies,Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines System. In 1972 MAS operated flights to more than 34 regional destinations and six international services.On 15 October 1987, the trading name was changed to Malaysia Airlines.

So coming back to my  recent experience with Mas (MH 123), it was something to remember, cherish. The moment I step up into the Boeing 747 - 400, something change. The only different is the flight attendance. Others was still the same but at that moment everything change. I like my seat (aisle). I always like aisle seat. I can sway my feet slightly out to the aisle walk comparing if seating on the window seat. As usual a hot towel is served followed by some drinks (refreshment) and peanuts, in flight sales, meal, drink, beverages, alcohol, ice cream kit kat, collection of cutleries and drinks . . followed by a long pause for passengers to sleep and followed by meal and the same repeated routine again. During this flight, I realized that the pillow are not that fluffier comparing to the ones before and the blanket use to be bigger but now it is smaller but thicker. Thank God ! Never-the-less, it was a good companion to sleep. The passenger in front of me had his seat recline but I could not recline my seat any back due to the passenger behind who had weight in her and some bags on her lap. Fortunately, I managed to recline a little but with that little reclining, it was still comfortable to watch in flight entertainment and a sleep. The meal was good. I had fish cooked is some western style which I forgotten but all I can remember was it was good. Crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside. It was just the perfect In Flight Entertainment for me. I have not watch Ratatoiille. My mum bought the DVD for me to watch. She said it was a good way and movie to de - stress but time was not at my side. Indeed, I could not agree any better. I am glad that Ratatouille was in and I watch it. Watching it in some darkness during a night flight when everyone is sleeping. I have this thing when the plane is about to land. I feel wishy washy but don’t feel like nauseating. I have no problem when the plane is taking off.

So back to this morning as I was browsing the page for Northwest, Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines. I decided to browse skytrax.com (The company that review all about an airlines company. I decided to write my comment on Malaysian Airlines. As a Malaysian, I am proud of my country’s national carrier is a 5 star airlines. Besides Malaysia Airlines, other airlines awarded with 5 star was Cathay Pacific, Kingfisher,Singapore Airlines, Asiana Airlines, and  Qatar Airways. I though KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines would be in but unfortunately they are only 3 star. Reading the comment for all walks of life makes me happy that my first choice for flying still belongs to Malaysia Airlines. Nice reading the comments from fellow country men, westerners, european, asian and etc. Therefore I decided to nominate Malaysia Airlines for “Worlds Best - 08″. This was what my comment was,

I would like to nominate Malaysia Airlines for “Worlds Best - 08″ as their flight attendance are friendly to the passengers and also to staff. They converse to other staff in Malaysian Language. Passengers could tell that they are patriotic to their country’s language. Their airport check - in crew is also friendly especially when it comes to baggage and seating options. In Flight Entertainment is always updated with the latest box office, comedy, drama, and tv series. The In Flight Entertainment covers most region from English to Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, Tamil, Cantonese with a wide chosen subtitle available. The meals are good with a wide variety from Asian delicacies (rice and noodle) to Western European (Pasta). Finally, Malaysia is truly Asia and Malaysia Airlines provide the best Malaysian Hospitality.
