Is it very scary to sit in a Firefly propeller plane?

Safe?

Not to sure to book Air Asia or Firefly.

Dude... that thing had been flying for many years. Why so scared?

Firefly all the way.
Smaller plane size = faster boarding and unboarding.

Chances of delay is also much lower than AA.

Most importantly, Subang > KLIA.

ATR is ok, not scary at all, just bit noisy compare with jet engine.

OK JE.. FLY TO SUBANG ALSO EASIER GO SUNWAY SEE AMOI

lol

I bet u never naik fokker 50 before right?

Jangan tanya soalan susah. Like literally.
This is my go to flight to penang 90% of the time.
The more u think the more u scare.

What if the person stays near to klia? Lol

this is quite scary to fly in. vibrate alot, n not just during takeoff and landing. n since its small, langgar turbulence will be quite an experience

This plane flies around 20 times to-fro from kl-penang daily la. No need to scare.

The only difference from boeing or airbus is that the atr is noisier thats all. But it still bearable

If got turbulence you will suffer more, that's all.

Also overhead compartment to store bag macam a bit smaller.

For more than 99% of people flying in and out.
Subang is much more convenient than klia.

But if you’re the 1% who’s living near KLIA or destination is near there … sure go for other airlines then.

ATR 70 is damn safe plane with excellent record

firefly or airasia?

100% firefly kek , faster boarding, subang , fewer passengers

If you've ever had a ride in a twin otter during a monsoon storm, an ATR will be blissfully luxurious!

I prefer Malindo ATR72-600 more than Firefly ATR72-500.

Firefly -500 seat are leather, comfortable to seat but after 30 minute, butt will feel abit uncomfortable because of leather.

Malindo -600 seat are standard modern flat seat like AirAsia & all EU flight. not as comfort as leather seat but whole flight you won't get that burn butt sensation.

Happened to me 2 years ago. Took a Malindo flight to Kota Bharu from Subang. Very bad weather at KB, 3 times aborted landing (nearly touching the runaway) at KB and it flown back to Subang for refuelling and fly back to KB for landing.

Don't worry air travel is safest mode of transportation. Small plane you will feel bumps on seat more so try take morning flight. Evening flight more chance of getting thunderstorm.

nno need to scared...everything will broke down something

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

Afraid of flying ka?

Fewer ppl on board . And From Subang its a blessing . Not many ppl in the AirPort some more . ( Except during holidays )

Go where?

Have flown not less than 50 times in propeller planes since 9 years old, models include Donati, Fokker, ATR, Bombardier

watch your head if u r height 167cm & above, saw too many accidentally bangs head onto luggage compartment while standing up KEK

the plane is somehow small. very noisy indeed

What's so scary?

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.

My first time taking fuckker was when I was based on miri for 1 year. Took flights between Miri and Kuching.

Not sure how true is this.
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 .

smaller plane safer

Only thing one heavy rain my bag all wet

modern commercial aeroplane has computers and telematics system to level the plane during flight accordingly

Ok but dont kena turbulence..u will pray that time

Fifely la bodo....

Airasia not safe.

No refunds.

Scammers airline.

Airforce One also not safe from turbulence when flying thru bad weather storm

U sit and experience first only talk

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.

Short flight. No issues with shaking.
Price. Don't mind paying even it is more expensive. Save me all the hassle and save time. No stress.

pilots and ground controls are well trained on turbulence encounters, making sure the plane under control reaching destination safely.

Bring headphones and make sure spotify downloaded stuff for 2 hrs at least

Agree with the time saving.

Going through KLIA2 security and walking to the gate require at least 20 minutes. Not to mention the driving time to KLIA2.

But, ATR72 is definitely not as refined as the A320. It's quite a bit louder and shakier.

The higher you fly, the harder your fall. Propeller plane fly lower

Shaky or not
I just want to reach my destination.
Not looking into comfy ride, not required. I'm not fussy, not particular about this.

Very fast turnaround which is good.

Not as scary as this one..

Firefyly plans are called turbo props. They are just as safe as jet airplanes that you usually fly in. I prefer to fly Malindo Air or Firefly because you can fly out from SZB instead of KLIA. Security check and check in is also less stringent and much faster in Szb.

very scary imagine pilot have only 4 button in their cockpit “ 0,1,2 & 3” like your house Fan, and accidentally ter press 0 . down you go

Rode this multiple times.
Now all bigger plane feel so comfy.

Now they replace the Twin Otter with what?

ATR
Twin otter still in service. Transfer few to SKS

I sat this plane fly to sibu from subang in the 90s

Twin otter. Those are scary. Unpressurized cabin right

Safer than the fatass punya old planes

Actually lower altitude got worse turbulence.

Considering i see 10 or so atrs everyday for the last 15 years and nothing has happened
Its giga safe

Make sure you sit at the front if possible, if you sit beside the propeller it's very uncomfortable due to noise and shaky.

My experiences taking Malindo from Subang to Langkawi, boarding is very fast due to less people and my flight always depart earlier than scheduled time.

I live in Sri Petaling, which is South KL. Not to say it's near KLIA, but using MEX, I can reach there in 50 minutes.

On the other hand, the roads to Subang can be quite jam.

People living in Bangi, Serdang, Nilai, Seremban, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya etc. would also find KLIA more accessible.

Not just 1%...

Gonna sit on one tonight, Penang kl. already many times no problem, just that it’s noisier than jet and need to walk up stairs instead of sky bridge.

Yes, it fly low and so loud ear plug must have

Perhaps you often fly during peak traffic timing.
But if you think KLIA is more convenient for you, more power to you.

The lesser people book firefly / fly from subang, the better my experience would be too.

twin otter!

twin otter!

my usual plane back in the 90s. kl-ipoh

Rich fag

noisy
