Yeah, I noticed that too. Thats why it was rather off putting for me when I encountered it.
And the guy on my seat row had a coffee

got any meal provided by mas rather than like airasia which have to purchase...

Yes. They do provide meals for long distance, for example kL > Kuching/Kota Kinabalu

MAS 777 and 747 aircraft have a seat pitch of 34 inches. The new 737-800 has a seat pitch of 31 inch and the new airbus has a seat pitch of 32 inches

MAS 747 and 777 inflight entertainment system is very dated. Compare with Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines or even Emirates, you can see how antiquated the IFE is. Only the new airbus has comparable IFE with SIA and the rest

Is mas strict with their carry on luggage??

I only see 5kg allowed which is prett little for me.. The problem is My bag will fit dslr, lenses and my laptop...

Will they exclude the weight??

And I have another problem with the dimension.. Total dimension of the bag is 120cm whereby the website only allow 115cm and below, I have friends who used this bag for carry ons an it fits the over head cabin but none have flied with mas so far unfortunately..

Do advice!

Thank you very much!

I am a frequent traveller with MAS. For stuff like camera,laptop,pc they are quite lenient. Once I took my CPU with me to the cabin and they are fine with that. I wrapped the CPU with plastic wrapper from KLIA and handcarry to the cabin from KL to KK. At that time, I have laptop with me.

5cm difference is ok. Not much .As long as the luggage is not too heavy.

man is there a way to pay without using credit card ? cause i don't have a credit card and i hate credit card . man how i wish MAS payment was like last year . just pay like AIRASIA

Hey Listiani!

Thanks alot!

I hope everything will be fine on that day

very strict if you're flying from australia. the ground handlers at perth forced me to check in my bag even though it was only 6kg

Not really. I flew from Perth last year by MAS. I have this small hand carry bag. The bag is heavy and I am sure it was more than 5kg but probably due to the size of the bag, they let me go. I take 1 hand luggage and 1 laptop with me to the cabin.

I hope i get lucky with them, will be leaving next tuesday!

Hi,

Any idea whether the MAS check in counter opens 24 hours? We'll be arriving at KLIA from BKK at 0040hrs 21/10, and for us to check-in to the hotel, we need to get international boarding pass. However our flight time is 1400hrs 21/10. How early can we check in? If check in already, can drop the luggage only after I check out from the Airside hotel? Bit blur 'cos it's been 10 years since i depart/arrive @ KLIA due to using Airasia frequently. Anyone can advise on this?

Thanks

u can chk in 48 hours before the flight depart via online or self chk in kiosk at KLIA.

Not forgetting to mention, you can check-in your bags 1 hour before flight time if you've already used the self check-in system.

I was told by the hotel that I need to get my web check-in boarding pass endorsed (to get verification of my travel documents) which requires me to still go to the MAS check-in counter If I can't get the boarding pass, then we'll not be able to sleep well. We have a very long journey to go and time is spent most on traveling and journey itself which takes up to 2 days. I emailed MAS but havent receive reply =_=.

Anyone stay at Airside Transit hotel before?

Can't really help you here as I didn't try out Airside before. I always just crash on the long benches in the airports, KLIA is one of them.

Here's a tip, don't email, try calling or go direct to the offices or ask them at the airport. Although e-mails are fast, sometimes the replies are really slow for even big companies.

As long as there's a departure and arrival flight, the counter will still open. If I am not mistaken, there's an 2-3am departure flight daily from KLIA. Maybe you can call KLIA Info centre to chk about this. Number is 03-87764389.

Thanks all for your advices. Will give it a try

Dear, I need some info before I post here. Your flight from BKK to KLIA is on MAS. What about your international flight?? Is it by MAS also??

What time is your international flight?? If you take both MAS from BKK to KLIA and to your international flight, you can actually chk in in Bangkok and get your both boarding pass i.e BKK to KLIA and KLIA to your next destination. You can even chk in your luggage all the way. But you must tell the people in BKK counter that you will chk in for your international flight as well so that they will give 02 boarding pass.

Hi,

I realized i got mixed up with BKI and BKK. sorry. it's BKI and not BKK.

My flight arrival from BKI is using firefly on 21 October 1240am.
My departure to DXB is using MAS. My international flight is at 200pm the same day I arrive.

Will it also apply if i'm using Firefly at BKI and can ask them to check in for my international flight to DXB at BKI?

Sorry, was bit mixed up with BKK and BKI.

Regards
