Penang - Malacca

everytime got long holiday and never had any issue. Pleasant flight because only two seats with larger leg space unlike 737 airasia

Just don't try ur luck, my family booked 4 flights, 2 was cancelled. 1 requested for refund, said within 30, now 2 months passed still no news. Another one need to call in for reschedule, waited online more than 1 hour.

Mostly to SG-MY-SG once from Jakarta-MY

1. So far delayed is 1-2 hours especially the later flight
2. Was cheapest with free check in 20kg. Now no more. Book MAS cheaper.
3. Since the operate from T1 so nit much walking, plaza premier lounge and basically better than T2

Overall ok for me except that now they charge check in luggage hence not the cheapest.

bought ticket.
- less 48hrs before, received notification that flight shifted ~1hr earlier than originally scheduled.
- less 24hrs before, received notification that flight shifted ~1hr later than originally scheduled.
- ended up ~2hrs+ later than even the rescheduled-later schedule.

thsi thread now reminds me to check whether etiqa had approved the flight's delay claim.

I rather take firefly for domestic. Batik air no service at all, just in and out. Not really cheap also.

if it's cheaper than AA thn just buy...really hard to find batik air being cheaper than AA..it's usually on par or more expensive than MAS
but their delay is mainly because of their lack of planes and frequency
when your flight got delayed, it really means massive delay...same as firefly

AA's advantage is having many planes and frequency to compensate

Never had any issues with SG to KLIA, delays experience 5 mins to 30 mins so far, not bad. Only once 1 hour, but I rescheduled the flight anyway. Use it monthly.

they have improve their services already ka?

how is the experience as compare to airaisa?

oh god...

in terms of pricing so far unker do a comparison slight cheaper than AA only for domestic la...
unker thought wanna try this airline mah never try before always take AA sian liao... hehhehee

I like it better because the seats are slightly more spacious compared to airasia. But that being said I just book whichever is cheaper on the travel date, sometimes go airasia, come back batik (or vice versa).

My batik int flight next week changed time. Delay 1 hour. Hope no last min changes.

So you have it

Delays

Take it if you are not in urgent for anything

My kid took a connecting flight from JB-KL-Kelantan
Delay until need to stay in Hotel overnight in KL. Lucky they provided everything including dinner, transport and no need to pay extra for the replacement flight
Longer time than taking a bus.

Oh 😢
