Airline reviews
Pros: "Terrible airline company. It’s a ripoff!"
Cons: "Honesty. Ripoff!"
Pros: "Terrible airline company. It’s a ripoff!"
Cons: "Honesty. Ripoff!"
Cons: "Food need to be improved"
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and attentive."
Cons: "Can’t think of anything"
Pros: "Comfort"
Pros: "Great seat and crews"
Cons: "A330-300 is nice"
Cons: "Business class in 737 is limited, recline only but seat was spacious and comfortable"
Pros: "Boarding was easy even though it started late, it was organized. Once I got on the plane I wasn't waiting a long time to get to my seat because they seated the people sitting in the back of the plane first. There is a huge selection of movies, tv shows, and music."
Cons: "They have 2 food options and they're just ok. There wasn't very many drink options either."
Pros: "Because I had missed my original connecting flight, the airlines booked me at an overnight hotel and my new flight seat number was premium economy. This was fine in the end, but in the moment I practically cried."
Cons: "Again, not being delayed and having to miss my original connecting flight would have been best."
Pros: "The Malaysia Airlines crew hospitality is world wide known and I experienced it myself during this flight"
Cons: "I sit in 2K of A350-900. Though it is known as a throne seat, there is an error on the installation of this seat. The foot rest that comes up and supposedly joined with the ottoman to make up the flat bed is too long so this seat never can actually go to full 180 degree mode."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable"
Cons: "The crew was not friendly, and the food selection is limited"
Pros: "Boarding was organized"
Cons: "Vegetarian food wasn’t great"
Pros: "The flight was on time."
Cons: "Bathrooms could be cleaner."
Pros: "Some staff were good others could not be bothered."
Cons: "Nicer staff"
Cons: "lost my luggage"
Cons: "No seat back entertainment. Very old plane."
Cons: "Answers together with Perth to KL. I understand from other flight individuals that MAL. Flights are always delayed."
Pros: "Brand new A350!"
Cons: "Hmm, nothing really. Lucky I was not in a hurry.."
Pros: "I was surprised to board an A380 to fly from KUL to BKK"
Cons: "In Bangkok we had to get off on the field to board a bus"
Pros: "Food was good and staff was always with a smile in their face"
Cons: "Super crowded and not much room in between rows, I aspected a bit larger and more comfortable plane for an international flight"
Cons: "For 50 min flight we waited 45 mins in taxi"
Pros: "Can’t find anything good."
Cons: "The airline is protected by the government. Hence there is no motivation for them to improve. This airline is my last choice. My biggest dissatisfaction is the hospitality shown by the crew.. not sincere and in some cases rude... is this the MH - MALAYSIAN Hospitality that they keep advertising? Very disappointing.."
Pros: "Friendly & attentive crew"
Cons: "Departure delay (10 minutes)"
Cons: "The Business class seats are very uncomfortable. There's just no leg room space when the seats are flat and its very suffocating."
Cons: "Entertainment system was old and food was so-so"
Pros: "I like the fact that they know I am Enrich Gold member and took the effort to address me by name even when I am flying economy."
Cons: "Food is still the reason why I don't eat much onboard. The food is better now, but still could be improved..."
Cons: "The queue to board the plane was very long due to the fact that there was only one person doing the check-in. It will make things more pleasant if they have two people instead of one person."
Pros: "Avoiding the huge queues (lines) in Asian airports is worth gold. Bz class travel on the KUL-BKK sector on Malaysian isn’t great but avoiding the queues at both ends makes it all worth it"
Cons: "Cabin crew were unprofessional and not much caring Food was rubbish"
Pros: "All aspects were fine. Weather caused a delay for landing of ore than 45 minutes, but not airline's fault."
Pros: "We arrived at the counter 1:50 before scheduled departure. The queue took 55 minutes for us to reach the counter. We were told then we should have rushed the counter to clear the 1 hour hurdle. There was no approach by staff to warn the waiting queue to do this. We were given boarding passes and told to try our luck taking the luggage through security and try gate baggage check. We made the plane 20 minutes before scheduled departure"
Cons: "Very old plane equipment Short seat pitch limits economy class passenger comfort"
Cons: "I wasn't aware I was in Malaysian airline, I thought it was silk just as it was when I arrived... could of been a little clearer but other then that everything was great"
Pros: "Seats and entertainment"
Cons: "Bad landing,"
Pros: "Flight to Penang was delayed for more than 3 hours for unclear reasons. These was not a clear announcement as to what was going on. Then after that, they were waiting on the crew from Langkawi. We arrived at 2 a.m. or so as a resluy"
Cons: "Lateness and lack of transparency from MAS staff"
Pros: "Boarding was easy with less passengers."
Cons: "The magazine in my seat pocket was dirty. The seat cushion seemed not clean. There was a greasy spot not cleaned."
Pros: "Malaysia airlines has some of the most beautiful women working for them. Most curteous, kind, and very personable. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful"
Cons: "The long layovers with no hotel voucher from Malaysia air. That would be a big help especially for me since I travel alone. And not to familiar with hotel locations, taxis. I am concerned about my safety in another country..."
Pros: "Everything on time and smooth. Crew was attentive and friendly."
Pros: "Delicious food"
Cons: "No entertainment"
Cons: "Got stuck by lots of crying kids."
Pros: "Clean and entertainment good!"
Cons: "Food is mediocre, even for airplane food."
Pros: "Crew was good in flight."
Cons: "The flight was excessively delayed. What was supposed to be a flight leaving at 2:25 AM left only at 4:15 AM or so. This is AFTER my original flight which I had booked for 1 AM was changed to 2:25 AM."
Cons: "Fight was delayed half an hour due to waiting for a few connecting flight passengers. This is ridiculous as the airline is making the gain at the expense of other passengers' priceless time."
Pros: "- On Time - Nice to include buns or bread for breakfast - Staffs should be more gracious and engaging."
Cons: "- Landing was rough and sudden - Hot drinks only served at the end of meal. It should be served together with meal. - Row 17 was last to be served. Rather hungry especially on transit flight from Singapore - No transit lounge and refreshments"
Cons: "Lost baggage on direct flight"
Pros: "The flight was on time"
Cons: "The boarding process was a waste of time"
Pros: "Was a little better but never flying that airline again"
Pros: "Our plane was late coming from Bangkok. We had to run in KL to catch the next flight. We did not get our luggage when we arrived in Bali. Still don't have it after 24 hours."
Pros: "Pilot kept taking detour to avoid turbulence"
Cons: "Food -very little in quantity. Dinner: just a sandwich. Breakfast - just a little bit. Cabin Staff - unmotivated; poor Sevice"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Collection of headsets, too long at the tarmac before take off."
Cons: "On our way from KL to Manila, there were no screens for my children to watch and a not G rated Chinese movie to watch, only. It was really inconvenient and not a very good experience."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The temperature of the air craft before take off is making me sick"
Cons: "Need to cleanup the cabin."
Pros: "Overall price / value is very good"
Cons: "Leg room is very small"
Pros: "Crew was really nice"
Cons: "There wer plenty of empty seats and the other people sitting in my row wanted to move to open seats but weren’t allowed because the seats apparently cost more money than our seats. I think that’s a bit stingy of the airlines because no one is sitting there. Why not allow people to be comfortable?"
Cons: "Boarding pass and ticket did not specify terminal 2!!! Automatic check in not clear"
Pros: "Got an aisle seat and boarding was quick."
Cons: "Too long of a flight for no WiFi and no water."
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "Uncomfortable Won't give you a blanket or cup of eatery without making you pay Delayed"
Pros: "On time boarding. Crew was helpful with duty free shopping."
Cons: "Could not connect to Rokki WiFi."
Cons: "Luggage check-in weighs luggage 22 kilos more than its actual weight and I was asked to pay almost RM650 ~ ($170), when I was asked to recheck they had to pull my luggage back and that took almost 40 minutes to later know that they made a huge mistake! 20 minutes to the boarding time I got confirmation that my luggage weights are correct and given a boarding pass to gate P11. walked to gate P11 and saw no one there, and there were no signs of what was happening, I checked Kayak app then I noticed that they changed the gate to L10 which is a totally different building ( 16 minutes before gate closure ), I had to run the whole airport to go to gate L10. not to mention that flight was delayed by a good 1 hour!"
Pros: "Inexpensive flight, attentive crew"
Cons: "Immigration offload for no reason then asked to rebook .."
Cons: "Never been on a flight before, where the pilot pushed back whilst people were still taking their seats. Not very safe!"
Pros: "Overall"
Cons: "Delays, and not entertainment"
Pros: "Quick"
Cons: "No food or drinks. But that was expected as we didn’t pay for it"
Pros: "Fares. Schedules. Destinations. More than you might expect for a low cost airline."
Cons: "I got what I paid for."
Pros: "I feel confident with your aircraft and crew. Very professional"
Cons: "The chicken and rice was not the freshest and although the seats are comfortable they are very cramped for a big falang like me"
Cons: "In flight food is available for cash in Malasian ringgit only, which makes it unavailable for those international passengers leaving Malaysia who get rid of local currency on their way out of country"
Cons: "Delayed flight"
Pros: "Clean aircraft"
Cons: "Two flights in a row behind schedule ; messed up my vegetarian pre ordered food selections in both flights"
Pros: "Seat & food"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Avoid this shitty airline since it’s NEVER EVER on time!"
Cons: "ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS LATE Aaaarrrggghhhh!"
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "They make you pay for water...WATER"
Cons: "Seating is very uncomfortable."
Pros: "The plane didn't crash."
Cons: "Boarding was late and terribly disorganized - just a person yelling row numbers who could barely be heard. The airline makes you pay for water, which is simply inhuman - at least cattle in transport are given free water from time to time. It was a five-hour flight at night but we couldn't put the seats back to relax - the exit row was behind us and they've got the seats crammed in so tight together that they don't give the exit row any extra room to accommodate this, like most airlines. There are ads plastered all over the storage compartments. Recorded announcements threatened us with dire consequences if we stole the life vests (is that a thing people do?!). Everything looks cruddy, dingy and old. It feels like a cheap city bus, but in the air. At the end of the flight the crew walked through fumigating the cabin with spray cans of who-the-hell-knows-what and we had to breathe THAT in. We won't even consider Air Asia again unless there are literally no other possible choices. Just awful."
Pros: "fast and easy"
Cons: "seat comfort and leg room plus they charge for everything extra"
Pros: "Almost on all regional flghts i had to pay as much for my luggage as for my ticket."
Cons: "Luggage scheme."
Cons: "I was facing lot issues with my baggage as they dropped my baggage at malashiya instead of dropping at my final destination"
Pros: "Quick easy and simple. Staff were very friendly."
Pros: "Everyrhing."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Fare"
Cons: "They do not give even water I feel they should take some charge and at least provide tea coffee and light snacks like sandwich etc"
Pros: "Low cost"
Cons: "We paid a small fortune for the couple of kilograms we were over our 15kg allowance."
Pros: "Left on time, everything was OK"
Cons: "No beer for sale and no duty free on board though its an international flight. KLIA2 is a monster, miles to walk...."
Cons: "It was one hour late"
Pros: "Walking straight through security and into the plane.... (due to online check in and just bringing my carry on)"
Cons: "The 20 minute delay which they did not announce. I know it's delayed because I can see the pilots at the gate.."
Pros: "No frills."
Cons: "The crew didnt do much to enforce seat belt regulations. Half the passengers were up after landing with their bags in the aisle."
Pros: "Ease of web checkin but it took too long to drop off luggage"
Cons: "No inflight entertainment. Had to buy food including all beverages."
Pros: "we got to the destination"
Cons: "rude and unfriendly crew. freezing climate. super cramped seating. and they charge for water. it was a human cattle call. horrible."
Pros: "Same as for earlier flight"
Cons: "Same comment as above"
Pros: "Punctuality."
Cons: "Rather uncomfortable seating - very little legroom, and seat angle promotes back pain."
Cons: "Air Asia not only charged me for luggage at check-in, but charged me TWICE for the same piece of luggage, stating that since I was flying "two segments" they had to charge me two times, though my luggage and I were going to one destination (with a layover in between). Never again will I fly this airline."
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Seats are uncomfortable, no complimentary drinks or food."
Cons: "No drinking water!"
Pros: "I didn't like any thing"
Cons: "Free kg is 15 kg which isn't enough at all"
Cons: "was charged $72 at the airport to check my bag. I have not flown with Air Asia before and I did not know that I would not be able toa check my bag for free, let alone have to pay $72. I was disgusted. Air Asia should make their baggage fees more visible and honest so when a customer books a flight, they can take those fees in to consideration. Space inside the cabin is very limited. For tall people it is difficult to spread legs as the knees touch the seat in front. Luggage was missing when I arrived at my destination without any compensation to buy first necessity articles."
Pros: "Low price...friendly, courteous, helpful staff..."
Cons: "No free food or drink...not even water. Tightest seating I've ever experienced. No in flight entertainment. No alcohol available whatsoever. Chaotic boarding by passengers crawling all over one another reminds one of the clambering patrons at popular night markets. Considerable flutter and vibration in port side main flap. Excessive blow by of bleed air into cabin at start up (heavy jet fuel odor inside). Somewhat sketchy landing...but not too bad considering heavy crosswind combined with good old fashioned seat of the pants flying (no computer aided landing assists here). All in all a decent flight for around these parts I guess...I mean at least the thing wasn't brush painted with house paint...been there before."
Cons: "Curt treatment at check-in."
Cons: "Not enough room"
Cons: "Provide free water"
Pros: "We finally made it to destination"
Cons: "The flight was turned around halfway to destination due to technical problem. Understandable and acceptable. However very little assistance was given to us once back in KUL while waiting for new flight. Zero compensation given, not even a free soda on the new flight! Hey Air Asia, its called a voucher! Never did get the meals we had paid for in advance when booking. Will avoid this cheap skate airline in the future."
Pros: "Ok leg room for a regional Asia flight."
Cons: "FYI - Extra fees at the airport for food or luggage."
Pros: "Easy and simple....hope it will be like this in the future flights as well...."
