And I arrived at Penang International Airport at 1705. After taxing , I reached the terminal around 1715.
This was the first time in my life that I was stuck inside a flight cabin fo
My boarding pass with TOD written :1540
TOA display at Penang International Airport :1705
Initially, I was happy to be given a window seat (F)which is on the No. 8 row . As the aircraft being towed from the bay to the runway ,I thought the engineer had gave a green light to the pilots . But then I was wrong . I , with the sweater on had a difficulty to cope with the hot cabin . After taking off the sweater , I coped better but still not up to my expectation.
After the seat belt sign was switched off when the aircraft was airborne, I was delighted to be served with a treat , more than the usual orange juice and peanuts. The box consisted of a piece of fruits cake, a sweet and spicy peanuts, two pieces of Ferrero Rocher chocolate and a cup of orange juice.
This is first time I am seeing this kind of meal box . And usually we get the salted peanuts but that day I received the sweet and spicy peanuts for a change.

I really appreciate the kind and generous hospitality given by the airline . I am not bias in anyway because it is fair to treat the customer after a long time of waiting .
Note:
If next time you are travelling on a Boeing 737-400 aircraft , I would like to advice you to request for a seat from row No. 1 to No. 8 in order to have a perfect view of scenery .
And if you can avoid taking row No. 11 to No. 14 because that few rows are near the emergency exits which is not so convenient .
Don't take the last row of economy class which is No. 27 because you can't incline your seat .

Pity you...
I had a similar experience before, though not in Malaysia when I travelled from Hyderabad to Kolkata. It was terrible nightmare and I was almost suffocated inside the cabin.
Strictly speaking, you were quite lucky that they still treated you with chocolates...I had never been treated like that...(though I had 2 free business class ticket from Bangalore to KL, I only paid Economy class fare..:P)
How long you have been inside the cabin?
Thats really bad if the airlines didn't compensate anything to the passengers.
How do you upgrade your class to business ? Is anything relate to loyalty card program .
erm, I think it was almost an hour...
no air conditioner also...
the first time was because the college promised me that I could register on Monday, but economy class was fully booked. So the college gave me the business class flight including flight back to Malaysia. The second time was because I just applied for Enrich membership(I think).
So, you are a big fan of MAS la. I heard most ppl said other airlines fare is cheaper eg. Thai Airways.
Have u heard about star alliance ? There are 21 airlines under the airline alliance.
Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines are under it. But not MAS.
I read the faqs , it is stated that you can redeem membership points with other airlines under star alliance.

No...
Because when I need to travel India-Malaysia frequently, MAS was the only airline that was most convenient that time. Singapore airline were so expensive, Thai airline had to stop somewhere else...

They treat everyone equally , nothing to do with what so ever privilege . I will buy u the chocolate la , if u like it . Tell me when u re coming back .LOL.
