Nothing to be scared off, I've been flying JB -KL few time a year in Fokker 50, and still alive. Just a bit noisier than the airbus

I always take firefly from Kedah to KL vice versa almost few times a month to visit my factories. Take firefly at subang no need waste time travelling to klia And subang boarding time is quite near to departure time. No need waste so much time waiting.

But I heard from one guy. He said in this type of flight using Fuckker . If a flight there are many fatty asses feihais , the stewardess will request these fatties to sit at each corner of the plane to balance it out. If not the plane will fly senget .

QUOTE(LegendLee @ Feb 25 2023, 10:29 AM) Firefly all the way. Smaller plane size = faster boarding and unboarding. Chances of delay is also much lower than AA. Most importantly, Subang > KLIA. Only thing one heavy rain my bag all wet

Pros: Can arrive 30 minutes before flight at SZB and still get onto the flight. Cons: Shakes a little more than usual the bigger craft. Turbulence is more fun too. Price is double or triple of AirAsia most of the time. Edit: No aerobridge, if hujan then be prepared for wet shoes. It's smaller, warmer but you get free peanuts and famous amos cookie.

Save me all the hassle and save time. No stress.
