COMMERCIAL AIRLINE REVIEW

REVIEWS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

1. MALAYSIA AIRLINES - 4/10 : DOMESTIC & LONDON
Comments: FAKE SERVICE - they practice double standard but to those caucasian you'll be pamper if you flying with this airline

2. SINGAPORE AIRLINES - 8/10 DESTINATION: HONG KONG & KUALA LUMPUR & LONDON
Comments: So far the BEST!, professional, efficient, great entertainment system. Lots of daily flights to London, so easily flights are not full and 50% chances getting a whole seat for yourself.

3. EMIRATES - 9/10 DESTINATION: KUALA LUMPUR & LONDON
Comments: Recommended, they served fabulous meal with small bottle of wine for yourself, the best entertainment system so far I've experienced.

4. GULF AIR - 2/10 DESTINATION: KUALA LUMPUR & LONDON
Comments: Disaster, worst airline i ever flew 1st and the last. Suffocated and allowing passengers to get drunK! However fares can be very cheap!

5. SRI LANKAN AIRLINES - 7/10 DESTINATION: COLOMBO
Comments: You'll be promise a grand hospitality, great choice of meals and they're were like barbie dolls (sri lankan version) smile all through the flight.

6.BRITISH AIRWAYS - 5/10 DESTINATION: STUTTGART & BRUSSELS
Comments: Budget airline standard, it might be different experience if taking long haul flight, we'll see about that.

7. AIR MALTA - 6/10 DESTINATION: MALTA
Comments: Simple but comfortable.

8.BRUNEI AIRLINES - 7/10 DESTINATION: KUALA LUMPUR
Comments: Comfortable and Spacious Seats - feels like Premium Economy, Beware everyone, this is a DRY airlines, bring your own liquer if you need to.

9. CATHAY PACIFIC - 8/10 DESTINATION: HONG KONG
Comments: Great service & excellent choice of meal, and Hey! Chinese Tea on Board!

10. AIR FRANCE - 6/10 DESTINATION: CAIRO
Comments: For sweet tooth passengers this is your perfect Airline (served too much of sweets but croissants is delicious. Out dated entertainment system, everything seems to be 'French' and lack of choice.

11. THAI AIRWAYS - 7/10 DESTINATION: BANGKOK & KUALA LUMPUR
Comments: Great smile great hospitality. Strong points, best meal on board so far, fabolicious Thai cuisine + liquors at your preference.
DOWNSIDE: Old air craft, can be quite boring as there is no personal screen on London - Bangkok route; limited entertainment facilities.

12. AMERICAN AIRLINES - 9/10 DESTINATION: NEW YORK

Comments: My flight on London - New York route takes about 7 hours and I must say it was one of most comfortable airline ever flew. Even though is economy but doesnt feel compact at all (like normal 747 does), warm air and proper anti hydration, and they even provide you a fleece blanket so i can sleep throughout the flight.

13. OASIS HONG KONG AIRLINES - 8/10 DESTINATION: HONG KONG

Comments: My flight on London - Hong Kong was one of my longest long haul flight but yet, I think it worth every penny, £260 return, served two hot meals and great service, entertainment system is far better than AIR FRANCE, comfy fleece blanket except for Long Queue of check in at Hong Kong Airport, what more can you ask?

TIPS: Best seat allocation for economy 747 is 68, 69 and 70. Plus point, two seater, near lavatory, better view.

BUDGET AIRLINE REVIEW 2007

REVIEWS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

14. QATAR AIRWAYS - 7/10 DESTINATION: KUALA LUMPUR

Comments : My flight on London - Kuala Lumpur was pleaseant, staff are very friendly and attentive, well recommended airline if you on long haul flight budget as Qatar often offer lowest price to compare the rest of other airlines to the far east. Food & Beverage was not too bad not over the top, they use new aircraft for european flight therefore provide a luxury feeling with a 14" inch personal screen, which i consider that a bonus, entertainment channel wasnt that competitive enough to Emirates. Qatar oftens fully booked and even overbooked, be wise to travel, as they often give upgrade, which my friend has been given a chance twice to fly on Business Class upgrade.

15. JAPAN AIRLINES - 5/10 DESTINATION: NARITA, TOKYO & KANSAI, OSAKA

Comments: My flight to Narita was wonderful, as JAL fly more than once a day from London, therefore flights tend to be relax and very few passengers, i have a three whole seat for myself, having the grant time drinking cocktails and special drink compliment of Japan Airlines. Food was one of the highlight - delicious and great satisfaction. Turning point is that JAL has a lousy entertainment system, where i would expect high tech 1st world country carrier will provide a different entertainment experience but seems limited choice and bad selection, further more my flight return to London from Kansai, Osaka was boring. Better off fly by ANA next time, unless they make some changes.
COME LET'S FLY WITH ME - EASYJET

BUDGET AIRLINE REVIEW


RYANAIR: 8/10
DESTINATION: DUBLIN, ROME, PORTO, VENICE, MILAN

Remarks: Ryanair offers an extensive destination, a place that you never heard! Sometimes can be very cheap!

EASYJET: 8/10
DESTINATION: BUDAPEST, BILBAO, PARIS

Remarks: Very efficient, lots of restriction, and the most frequent airline flies to most major cities in europe.

AIRASIA: 7/10
DESTINATION: SANDAKAN, KUCHING

Remarks: Mixture of Easyjet and Ryanair, though the airline crew is not well trained (aka half past six) but the currently most successful budget airline is Asia. Fly to most places than any other commercial do.

The kind of flight delay in the rain

WHAT I HATE MOST WHEN FLYING!


1. AIR PRESSURE (effect on dehydration)
2. FLIGHT DELAY & WAITING TIME
3. BABY ON BOARD (crying non-stop)
4. NOISY AND DRUNK PEOPLE (they make it like their father's plane)
5. FULL FLIGHT

__________________________________________________________________________
Delicious Hot Food

WHAT I ENJOY MOST WHEN FLYING!


1. TAKING OFF AND LANDING (bird eye view of destination)
2. DELICIOUS HOT FOOD (Emirates served good hot food)
3. ENTERTAINMENT (Emirates have latest demand channel better than any airline)
