i believe you have to get travel insurance first before you can claim anything

you better call and ask they to amend it instead of leaving it to the last minute. typo in name is kinda sensitive compare to typo in passport number

^yeah. called them n they amend it for free instantly. very efficient service.
also the CS told for domestic its ok. but best to amend to avoid hassle.

Sad mas increase their rate for their flight from malaysia to london

On the contrary. Because of this incident, KLIA will be a damn secure airport and Malaysia Airlines will be a very safe airline to fly with. The whole world is eyeing Malaysia Airlines now and they have no choice but to buck up safety to improve the flying public's trust.

At least for a few years until people forget and Malaysians go back to the never mind attitude...

1. Improve the process. Have quarterly psychiatric evaluations for all pilots. 6 months between evaluations might be too long. If the cause of psychiatric problems is within MH itself, can it be reduced/fixed?
2. Other airlines will have similar problems
3. Agents of SHIELD are available for hire. Time to put them on each flight?

Hi forumers, want to know by what time need to reach KLIA for domestic flight, how many minutes/hours. First time flying with MAS, can do online check-in and just show up 30 minutes at airport then board? Just hand carry luggage.. sorry for noob question. Thanks!!

My friend told, if we called to book for seat, it will be free, is that true?

Here you go. Still, it would be wise to go earlier. Let's say 45 minutes earlier at least. That is cutting it really close there too.

Thanks for the info! Had wanted to ask some info about KLIA transit but found it here:

Check-in time. Since you have already done your check-in online, there should not be any issues after you have checked-in. Just proceed to your gate as usual.

Guys, I have a question.

I am currently on Enrich and will be travelling on Qantas quite frequently. My question is, how does the qantas points translate into Enrich? Will I still earn Elite points or Elite sectors if I fly on Qantas?

I do understand that qantas points will be translated 25% into enrich, but what do they mean by that?

Thanks a lot

Only if you are booked into an eligible fare class. Some deeply discounted Qantas Airways economy class ticket may not be eligible for Enrich miles accrual.


Some economy class ticket will only earn 25% of the actual miles flown.

I am booked into a (Y) economy fare class, do I still earn elite sectors?

kesian, your friend just trolling you mana tau you happily believe

Oh yes. You definitely do as the booking code Y is a full fare economy class ticket.

Me and my wife are frequent flyer (MAS) because she always follow me fly to Sabah return meet my family.
20+ times a year (Kota Kinabalu or Sandakan).
I never apply enrich card before and i wasted a lot of enrich point for the past 2-3 years. If i apply last 2-3 years ago, i would have 100k+ points toady.

My question is:-
a) Do i get enrich point for me and my wife or only under my name? Or I should ask my wife to apply enrich card too?

b) Let say i miss my flight, do i still get my enrich point? Point is based on flight fly or purchase of ticket?

each passenger should have their own enrich card. it is free to apply. why not.

miss flight before check-in, then you will not get any miles/point
miss flight after check-in, then you might be able to get miles/point but it is case by case basis. the miles/point is based on check-in. no check in, no point.

in MAS, some economy class tickets will not be eligible for miles accrual and upgrade.

If you usually booked the promo fare (domestic flights only) between 2009 - 2011, then you didn't loss much as all promo fares for domestic flights weren't eligible for mileage accrual.


a) 1 unique membership number for everyone. You can only earn Enrich miles for your own ticket booked under your own name. And yes, you should get your wife an Enrich membership too.

b) If you missed your flight, you will earn no Enrich Miles. Enrich Miles is credited ONLY after you have completed the flight.


Not quite so. If you have already checked-in but you missed the flight, no miles will be awarded.


Miles award is actually based on boarding. If you did not board the flight, you would not be eligible for any miles.


Most booking classes (most codes even for EY) are now eligible for Enrich miles accrual. Yes, even the deeply discounted ticket will now also earn you Enrich miles but at lower rate (50% of the actual miles flown). Basically any ticket purchased directly from MAS (even if the total return ticket cost you just RM200 or so) or travel agencies (not tour group related) will earn you Enrich miles
