During the 1st phase of MAS promotion, I had requested for a trip as the net fare is MYR O excluding miscellaneous taxes. After some “discussion”, we picked 11th July as outbound date while 20th July being the inbound date.
After my 1st lesson of Paper 10 in the morning, went backed home for final preparation. At 4.30 pm, my uncle came and picks my family up heading to Miri Airport. Around 45 minutes later, check in process had been completed. We went straight in to the waiting hall after another 15 minutes later. As our flight is in the evening, the waiting hall was crowded with people (since 5-6pm is considered peak hour for Miri Airport) [Note: There are about 5-6 flights which departed between 5.20-6.15pm that day.]
Initially, my brother and I planned to have some snapshots on the aircrafts. But since the waiting hall is quite crowded, just forget about it. Around 6pm, they call us for boarding. We took off after one MASWings’ flight & one Air Asia flight. Firstly bound for Kuching first which took approximately 1 hour. Upon reaching Kuching in a rainy condition, transit passengers head off for immigration clearance. Then, we went around the airport to experience the environment for only about 15 minutes before being called up for boarding again in order to bind for Kuala Lumpur. We took off almost on time in a rainy condition, and then it is another 1 hour and 45 minutes flight from Kuching to KL. The flight touched down at KLIA at 9.45pm.
When compared to inbound flight experience yesterday (20th July 2008), the outbound flight appeared to be more pleasant in terms of cabin environment; particular in cabin air-cons and air pressure. The on board cuisine was better also. It was a very pleasant flight for me. The flight attendance even asked the passengers whether wish to have a second cup of drinks or not while yesterday ones; they just came back and collect the dishes boxes. If you don’t request, you got nothing. Even if you requested for it, their body language appear to be full of unwillingness to me.
Anyway, in conclusion: for my flying experiences this time, the outbound one is nicer for me (just that the pilots seems having less experiences as the taking off & landing was not very smooth in comparison to the inbound one. But as a overall “performances”, the praise goes to outbound flight staffs.
That’s all from me for the time being. There are more posts to come bit by bit later on.
“Stay tune & see ya!”
