MY: KUL-KBR with AK

I flew back to my hometown today with AK. As much as I wanted to avoid flying AK (especially when the only fare available is the top end range), I have no choice this time.

BH picked me form my house in Ampang around 8am and he supposed to drive me to KL Sentral only. However, since I was a bit grumpy that morning (hehhehe.. don't ask why), he decided to drop me at LCCT directly... Thank you very much BH...

Reached the terminal around 9am plus, and the check in counters for KBR were not yet open. All AK check in counters are based on destination and they are open 2 hours before the departure and closes 1hr 15 mins later. I was a bit lost since this was a second time using the terminal (the first time was when I went to DPS with BH).

Check in as a breeze since I was second in line. Total checked-in luggage was 14kg and my hand luggage was only 6kg. Just nice for the low cost carrier requirements.

Boarding was called 30mins before the ETD. As ususal, the moment AK staff greeted "Ladies and gentlemen..", everybody started to rush in front of the gate/door. Typical. It was a bit of walk to the A320 (apparently, AK is now using Airbus for all its destinations) but now, they have built a covered walk way. Cool....

I boarded via the aft door and took my seat at the last row. Seat 31A. The flight was nearly full. I only noticed one seat vacant. Through out the flight, I kept myself busy with the in flight magazine, Travel 360degree (if I am not mistaken).

The flight was uneventful and the weather is clear. Upon flying over Kelantan air space, I noticed how dirty the Kelantan river is.. it is really really dirty.... too much logging I believe. The state government and the federal government should have done something.

We landed 5 mins earlier than ETA. Picked up my luggage and my brother already waiting for me outside the arrival hall...

Welcome home MT! It has been nearly a year since I last stepped my feet in my kampung :-)

QA: Visa Run BAH-DOH

The flight back from Bahrain was uneventful. We spent around 2 hours at Bahrain International Airport. The terminal building is bigger than Doha airport, but less characters. Not many activities on the tarmac. I spotted couple of airliners that do not fly to DOH i.e., Al Jazeera Airways, Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines. Yup.. MH special flight during the summer I guess. It was a huge B777 and it is sooo beautiful - not as beautiful as the Queen of the Sky, B747 :-)

We had lunch at Jasmi's and shopped at the duty free. I bought one Salvy belt that cost me RM380. Pretty cheap. The rest of time, just walk around the terminal back and forth.

The boarding started around 16:20hrs for a 17:00hrs departure. The flight was originally scehduled to depart at Gate 12, but later changed to Gate 11. This time, the bird is A320 in normal GF colour.

The flight was full and we were seated in the middle of the aircraft, seat 17B and 17C. At 17A was a Filipino lady. Once everyone boarded, pushback commence and safety demo took place. Before that, the crew already passed around snacks and OJ for the passengers.

For the whole flight, I dozed off.. probably too tired. In fact, I fell asleep before the take-off only to wake up seconds from landing.

Once landed, we were bussed to the arrival terminal. Although the queue was quite long, it didnt take much time to pass through the immigration. Paid QAR100 and I was given a tourist visa for a month.

The baggage claim area was just like the veggie market I used to frequent. Full of people looking for their bags. In fact, my only checked in bag came out after 20 minutes of waiting. The queue for customs was long as well.

Few passengers got their luggage searched by the officers. Pretty emabrassing if you asked me. The area is right in front of the exit door.

Went outside and called our friend, KM to pick us up. Then, we joined NN, Shah & family for a dinner at Ponderosa...

QA: Visa Run.. DOH-BAH

On 31/8, I did a visa run to Bahrain. My visa expires on 6/9, Thursday, which is working day. Thus, reduce my chance to spend more time in Bahrain.

At first the plan was to meet BH there since he supposed to go on business trip to Manama. However, it was cancelled last minute and Zal decided to join me.

Zal booked Gulf Air for both of us. There are two reasons why Gulf Air, first being the cheapest ticket and second, I have not flown Gulf Air before. I found that Gulf Air uses B767 for this route for its 1000hrs turnaround flight and this added to my excitement . Although I have flown B767 on EY to AUH before, this one is a bit different. This is in original Gulf Air colour and configuration while the EY B767 was a leased.

Since this will be only a weekend retreat, I didn't do any packing earlier. As usual, I got back home late from work that Thrusday night. The nearer you are to your trip, your work load just get bigger and bigger.

Zal, being a true traveller, has prepared the itinerary a night before. Armed with Lonely Planet and internet, he managed to squeeze the whole Bahrain in less than two days. So, any readers out there needs assistnce with trip itienrary, contact Zal. :-))

Our journey to Bahrain started early Friday morning at 8am. NN picked us up from my apartment and drove us to the airport. The security check prior to the check in was a breeze but the check in itself was opposite. It was a long queue and very very slow. Only two counters for Economy class. It took us good 20 minutes to check in and that QAS guy assigned us to a windowless window seat!!! Aaaaarrghhhhh..... I hate that guy!!!!

For information, the check in counter staff can actually do anything they want.. they can assign you the worse seat and they can also assign you the best seat... Better be nice to them. When you feel that the time they take to check you in is too long, they are probably chatting with their counterpart about you or trying to surprise you when you get on board. Just like what happen to me...

Our flight is scheduled to depart 30 mins later than schedule. No harm. This means we can have breakfast and wander around the airport. Last time I used this departure terminal was for my trip to MCT last May. Quite few changes. New Oryx Lounge is now in operational and they have another Costa Coffee on the first floor.

Not many movement on the tarmac this morning. Two new airlines spotted.. Alexandria Airlines (from Alexandria Egypt) and Iran Air Tours (a charter to Shiraz). Others are the Oryx head tail aircrafts.

Around 10:15am, we went to the holding lounge. Before that, we browsed the duty free area and surprised to find out that one Malaysian actually won an Audi A8 last June under the Duty Free Bonanza Lottery. Lucky him!

We were bussed to the aircraft and within minutes, I took my windowless window seat. The flight was 50% full in Economy and majority of them were on transit. Only a handful of us disembarked at BAH.

The crew was not as great as EY or QR. There was no enthusiasm in serving the passengers or guests as EY referred us. Can you imagine one of the crew actually made faces during the safety demo? Not professional at all! If this is Ryan Air or any other western airlines, I do understand it...

The snacks were served before take off, thus giving the crew some relaxation during the flight. After all, we were only 20mins on air. The other 25-30 mintes were on ground. This kind of flight is normally known as charity flight.

It was an uneventful flight and I actually dozed off during that short flight. Landed in BAH on runaway 30R and in no time we were at gate 17.

No issues with immigration and Malaysians were given a two-week tourist visa on arrival for BD5 (~RM50).

We rented a Toyota Corolla 1.8L that cost us BD14 for 26 hours from Thrifty Car Rental. Zal has been designated as a driver and this gave me chance to relax... hehehee.. (actually they do not want accept my Qatar license.. they said it is a temporary license and only valid in Qatar).

First destination... Bahrain National Museum....

QA: Back to the dust

I reached the airport around 12.30am for my flight STD 0420. Took the last train from XKL at midnight.

At the airport, QR check in counters are at check in island J. MH ground staff man the counters since this is a code share flight with MH. When I checked in, there was not even one QR ground staff available. Although before this, while waiting the counter to open, I saw one QR ground staff over at KU counters. I overheard he said the flight was delay. When I asked the check in lady, she told me it will be on time, as per previous day.

I only have one luggage to check in and I got my requested seat. Went straight to the lounge for a quick/short nap. I was very tired adn the next morning, I have to work.

Time passes and it si nearly 4am. No announcement on boarding. Went to the lounge reception and was told that the flight was delayed for 20 minutes. Ah.. well... walk to the buffet area and they just started serving breakfast..Yum..yum.. Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong.. unfortunately I didn't have appetite to eat.

By 4:20am, I walked to the gate. Surprisingly, no one boarded the aircraft yet. Then an announcement was made that the departure will be delayed for another 20 minutes. Now, it will be at 5am.

I was among the last to board and was greeted by CSD Shelyn and CCS Melissa. Hmm... Melissa looks familiar. She directed me tio my seat and yes.. I know Melissa. We had dinner together on her birthday at Marri0t D0ha two years back. She told me that I look familiar.. but she cannot remember me. An old friend... nice meeting you again...


Off the ground and the moment the seat belt sign was off, I reclined my seat only to wake up for breakfast. A good but not really comfortable sleep. One and a half hour before landing into Doha, I had mee goreng for breakfast.


Overall, the service was just so-so. The food quality yet to improved. Seat, argrhh... the oldest business class seat in the entire QR fleet I guess... wonder when they are going to phase out all these oldies... A300-600.

Arrived in Doha at 07:13am local time. Amazing.. the arrival terminal was empty. For the first time I experience this. Since my business visa expired, I entered the country with tourist visa for QAR100 and valid for a month.


Welcome back.... sore throat & flu... dizzy..dizzy..dizzy.. went straight home from the airport.. within one hour from the landing, i am actually at my apartment. Huh.. how efficient is that :-)) unpacked my stuff and by 9am, I was already in the office.... :-))

QA: Journey Back...MCT-DOH

Although our flight back to DOH is scheduled at 1855hrs, we decided to check in early. Just to wander around the airport and snap some photos. I drove to the airport from the City Center Mall which is located 10 mins away. Bid goodbye to Ard and SA, we went straight to the check in counter. As per other airport in the Middle East, the check in area is reserved for travelling passengers only and cordon off from the outside.

When we entered the check in area, only Qatar Airways counters were operational. There were three counters for the Economy class and the queue for each counter has at least 5 passengers. Looks like another full flight with transit passengers.

The queue we were on was a bit slow. Apparently a couple of family in front of us have lots of luggage to check in and to make the matter worse, the whole family gather in front of the check in desk. Why can't only two or three of them check in while others can wait a bit further!

Since we have only two small luggage to check in, the process went trough in no time. I was assigned with seat 27B, which is a middle seat and Zal was at seat 27A. Since there was nothing interesting around the check in area, we decided to proceed to the airside. Heard that MCT only have three or four shops in the duty free area, so I just need to see how small the duty free area is :-)

Immigration went smoothly, and same for the security. As experienced during our two-day stay, we were amazed by the tolerance and hospitality shown by the Omanis. At the immigration counter, I was greeted with a smile and the officer tried to have a conversation with me in Arabic. Something that you will never experience in D0ha, and probably not even in Malaysia(?). The officer at the x-ray security was very polite. When I reached there, he politely asked me to empty my pockets and told me what to do in a soft voice. I really feel I am
"somebody" there :-))

Took the escalator to the departure lounge and duty free area. Well, it is not that bad.... only I could not find the things I want... aircraft model (well, same in D0ha... no aircraft model on sale at the duty free). Took few photos of the area and the tarmac activities. Unfortunately, nothing much happening. Only one Air India Express bound for, where else, India of course. Can't remember the destination though.

Boarding started 45 minutes before the scheduled take off. We were bussed to the QR metal on the other end of the terminal building. It was A321, a typical for regional destinations. We used the aft door to embark and was greeted by a Japanese crew. Further inside, three more crew waiting to assist passangers. There were another two crew at the business class section of the aircraft.

While waiting for another group of passengers to embark, I took a chance to snap some photos inside the cabin. The flight was pretty full and we took off on time.

Unlike Oman Air, Qatar Airways only serves snack for this 1hr 5mins flight. The flight itself was uneventful but the actiities inside the cabin that irritated me the most. People using the handphone and another group of Ar4b ladies having sort of argument. Just like a vegetable market in D0ha. And worse, no initiative by the crew to mend the situation. Couple of passengers using the hand phone right in front of the crew! Really pissed me off.

On ground, I immendiately logged in the complaint about the uncomfortable flight.

We landed on time and were bussed to the arrival terminal. No issue with immigration and the lugagge also came out at the same time we finished immigration. Kind of efficient I would say :-)

Called our friend, KM to pick us up and we went for dinner at Central Indones1an restaurant.

Overall, it was a good trip and I love every single second of it.

Millions of thanks to my MiME bloggers, Zal, Ard and SA for the weekend. Thank you for willing to spend the weekend together. May be we can meet again - in another country :-))

QA: The Journey Begins... DOH-MCT

All my other MiME travelers have written about our MCT trip in their blogs. I’m late already. “Dah basi cerita ni…” Anyway, this is my story… hehehehe

I left office around 5.45pm. I am already half-way packing (came back during lunch time) and it just took me less than 10 mins to finish it. Freshen up and said goodbye to SK who will be left alone at my apartment for the weekend.

Drove to KM’s place nearby the airport and left my rented Corolla there. KM drove us in his red Swift to the airport, which is located two blocks away from his apartment. The time was few minutes past seven in the evening and there were not many passengers at the airport. The first level security was smooth and we proceeded to the Oman Air (WY) checking counters. There were three counters opened and at least 10 passengers queuing at each counter. Majority were South Asians going back to their homeland. "Looks like the flight is pretty full tonight".

I was assigned seat 12E while Zal got himself comfortable at the next seat 12F. We walked to the departure area and bumped into Zal’s work collegues who are heading to Afghanistan and few Malaysians in-transit from umrah. Apparently, QR has been one of the favourite airlines for Malaysians to go to the holy cities of Mecca and Madinah.

We prayed Isyak at the new prayer room and then had a dinner at the food-court. I had two piece A&W fried chicken and Zal had a burger. About 40mins before standard time of departure, we proceeded to Gate 2 - the holding area for tonight's WY flight to MCT.

We were bussed to the aircraft and was greeted by the only female crew on board. Can’t remember her name, but I guess she is from India (from her name-tag). Further inside the cabin, two male crew were in stand by to assist passengers, both are local Omanis. Our seats are the third row from forward economy cabin. I was in the middle seat while Zal has privileged to enjoy the outside view. On my left is an Indian guy flying back to his home town, C0chin.



The standard flight time is 1hr 15 mins, however due to traffic, we were delayed for 5mins. Not a big deal!

Ten minutes into the flight, the service started. Amazing that WY serves meal on its one hour plus flight. The choices were rice with chicken or vegetables. I am not an avid veggie eater, so I opted for chicken. Hoping that Zal chose veggie, he decided to go for chicken as well. Aahhh, now I don’t have a photo of veggie meal for you. The chicken was so hard that the plastic cutlery unable to cut it through. Luckily I had two-piece chicken at the airport – so I am not that hungry.

Later, the crew came around for a drink – tea or coffee. Am not sure whether WY serves alcohol or not. Anyway, not that I bother :-)

We landed 5 mins behind schedule and were bussed to the terminal. Unwelcome predicament started for me. Although I have been in Qatar for nearly three years, I have never applied for a residence permit. I have been using the business visa all along. Zal managed to get his visa for OMR3 since he is a residence of Qatar and for me, the cashier unable to ascertain my status. So, I was told to queue at the Immigration counter to enquiry the visa status for me. The immigration officer told me to pay OMR3 and I went back to the Cashier. With the receipt, I queued again only to be told at the counter that I need to pay OMR6. There I went again to the Cashier and pay another OMR3. Only then I was allowed to enter Oman… fuhh…. That was tiring and luckily not many arrivals at that time (after we landed, there was an EK flight from DXB). At the arrival hall, Zal was waiting for me already and had our checked in baggage.











We met with our fellow MiME traveler outside the arrival hall and walked to Thrifty Car Rental to pick up our car for the weekend. This is my first time meeting Ard, the fellow MiME from AUH. Hello Ard :-)

Our transport for the weekend was H0nda City. That night, Ard drove us to the hotel and for the rest of the weekend, I was the driver. I really enjoy driving.. don’t ask me why :-) Reached our hotel by the Corniche around 1am and slumped into slumberland in no time….

Can’t wait for tomorrow…..

QA: Back to reality

I arrived safely at DOH around 2140hrs local time. While transiting at AUH, both myself and JJ had a coffee at C0sta coffee and stayed there from the moment we reached AUH until the boarding time. The 4 hours waiting was uneventful. The terminal was not yet crowded since most of the EY departures are past midnight.

I always feel claustrophobic everytime I am at AUH terminal. Its sphere design sort of makes the place looks smaller.

Boarding started around 2100hrs local time and no separate boarding for Pearl Zone guests. Well, not a problem since the flight was not full. It was a smooth boarding although I believe the crew were not that ready. I noticed that there were only two crew in Pearl Zone in which I think it should be more than that. I was right. After half of the guests boarded, two more crew join the flight. And it included the Cabin Manager... hahahahhaha...the Cabin Manager was late for duty.

I was so tired and the moment the pushback started, I fell asleep. Only to wake up when the crew served snacks, which I declined politely. But not before I snap some photos :-) Snapping is a must!

One of the great things flying business class into DOH is you get to disembark the plane first. Not that other airports not doing the same, but the immigration situation at DOH is a chaos. I was right. Just before us, there were flight from MAA and MNL. And the queue overflowed to Marhaba Meet and Greet section.

(In DOH, if you are travelling first time to Qatar and want to avoid queuing for immigration, you can book for a Marhaba Meet and Greet service. They will settle all your visa related and escorted you until you out of the arrival hall. This also means, no need to queue. Just stay back at their lounge enjoying snacks and drinks).


Have no problem on my visa. Was granted to stay for three months as usual. The baggage reclaim was at carousel number 2 and to my dismay, it was not working. I have to pull my 27kg Samsonite from the "bridge" connecting the baggage carousel from the outside one. Only after 15 minutes they changed to another carousel.


No problem as well for my luggage.. I was expecting to be stopped by the Customs since I am carrying two bottles of "kicap" (don't laugh... - they don't have Malays1an "kicap" here). Customs normally will ask you to open your bag if the x-ray machine detects there are bottles in there.

Outside the arrival terminal was crowded. Called Zal whether he's here to pick me up (although I didn't ask him to). And yes he's at the airport and I asked him whether the can drop JJ home. His Tiida is big enough to for two big suitcases, two medium size boxes and two cabin luggage. Hmm.. perfect score for Tiida.

Went straight home after dropping JJ. Unpacked, had a shower and off to bed. As my dearest blogger friend said, back to reality... back to life in hot and dusty D0ha....

In-Flight: KUL-AUH

Today is the day I will be traveling back to dusty and hot Doha. Couple of days before, I had requested for extra luggage allowance and the Etihad Country Manager, Mr Lindsay White has approved it. I thought it was a nice gesture from Etihad… Thanks a lot Lindsay.. If you are reading this blog, do leave a comment and I can assure you that I have written a positive feedback to EY management on this :-)

My journey started at 11 am. Drove to KLIA with my family and BH entailed in his car with my younger brother. Received SMS from Shah wishing me bon voyage. Then Famil texted me and followed by Zal.

Checked in was abreeze. It was at counter island A. Altogether, I checked in 51.3kg of luggage, mostly belongs to my friends in D0ha. EY check in was managed by KLIA Airport Service (unlike Qatar which was handled by MH staff). The staff in charge, Azman was very helpful. Spoke to him a bit about EY in general. They have only three people (including the supervisor) at the airport working in shift and two people at the town office for reservation. Also I praised him on the excellent cooperation given by the staff which is way better compare to Qatar Airways staff.

Post checked-in, had a light lunch at McD KLIA with family. At 1.30pm, I said goodbye to my family and went directly to the satellite building. Today, EY411 is at gate C12. Apparently, this gate is synonym with Middle East destinations. I flew MH to DXB last year and it departed from this gate as well. Same went to BH when he flew to DXB last Saturday.

Stopped at the cigarettes shop to buy Gudang Garam for ZI. I didn't know they sell Gudang Garam here. Bought a carton at RM39 only. Pretty cheap I guess. Then went directly to the MH Golden Lounge for a short relaxation moment. I only have about 15 minutes before boarding time, so I didn't eat much. Just had few slices of fruits only. Before leaving the lounge, performed a Zohor/Asar "jamak" at the lounge prayer room.

In my opinion, the MH Golden Lounge (Business Class) has marginally losing its appeal. I was not greeted appropriately when I showed my invitation at the reception area. The condition of the seats, prayer room and washroom has deteriorated. The signs of wear and tear are obvious. Hope MH can still maintain its Lounge as one of the best in the world. When I left, I gave a smile to the two guys at the reception, but in return one of them looked at me differently. I believe it is my dressing :-) I am wearing a green tee bought from a factory outlet and a brown corduroy slack with a black sandal. (Actually, BH laughed at my colour coordination!) Maybe the receptionist thought that I sneaked into the lounge without his knowledge... hahahhaahaha...

When I reached the gate, I saw a familiar face at the nearby seat. It was JJ. JJ is a CSD with QR. She is flying back to DOH on the same flight with me after 2 days in Malaysia. Haven't seen her for quite sometime. It was nice to be able to catch up with her.

I am updating this entry on board. Seat 11A Pearl Zone. We have 2 hrs and 21 minutes before landing in Abu Dhabi. 3335km from Mecca and flying at 38000 ft. Just passed India and now over the Indian Ocean heading northwest.


The aircraft today is A345. Out of six times per week (except Saturday), Sunday turnaround flight is with and A345, while on other days, it is B773. The Captain is a Malaysian and I guess the same goes for the FO. The crew are a mixture of Filipinos and Middle Easterns. For the Pearl Zone, all are female. Comparable to B773, this A345 has smaller overhead bin. There is no overhead bin in the middle and this creates a feeling of a bigger space. The lavatory is nicer compare to B773. There is a window and is upholstered with a wood-like panel just like the galley.

The Diamond and Pearl zones are full while the Coral zone is around 90% full (based on my observation).


The services were nothing to shout about. I noticed that it is better than my AUH-KUL leg last two weeks. I had Nasi Lemak Sambal Udang for my lunch. It was spicy. Just like the rendang ayam served on AUH-KUL sector. As far as I can remember, I never taste spicy food like this on any airlines. Even Nasi Lemak on MH didn’t taste spicy like this. Being a true blue Kelantanese, I don't eat spicy food. The portion is a bit smaller than QR or MH, which I think is appropriate. I don't eat a lot in flight. The juice was great. Really fresh. I had watermelon juice and I can assure its freshness.

Couple of hours after lunch, I walked to the Coral Zone looking for JJ couple, but she was in the Dizzyland… Better not disturb her :-)
Etihad entertainment has quite a good selection. From classics in the sixties to the latest movies in this millenium. I watched three movies, Casino Royale, Happy Feet and Dreamgirls, in that order. Being me, I seldom understand James Bond movie until I watched it at least twice hehehehe…. While watching the Dreamgirls quarter way, the system down. Aarrghh…

The aircraft is also equipped with a forward camera and down (belly) camera for guests to view what is ahead of the aircraft and the world down below. It was a good "entertainment" for the guests I would say.

Overall, I would rate the sector KUL-AUH today as fair. Out of 10, I gave 7. Nothing outstanding.

QA: Travel Plan

Just booked my ticket with EY. Apparently, EY is offering very good fare compare to QR and EK. And the timing is better compare to other two.

These are the aircrafts I will be flying with:

• D0H/AUH/D0H - Airbus A330-200
• AUH/KUL - Boeing 777-300ER
• KUL/AUH - Airbus A340-500

This would be my first time in B777-300 and Airbus A340-500. Looking forward to experience it. :-)

If I stick to my original travel dates, I would have a chance to meet my friend who will be in the B777 cockpit. Am not sure whether he will be in the cockpit on the dates I'll be travelling.

Apa-apa pun, dah tak sabar nak balik ni.... hehehehe....

QA: Plan Tak Menjadi

For the last few weeks, I have this plan to go to Dvbai (via Sharj4h). Although the reason justified for the trip is to see what Dvbai Sales Festival is offering, the main reason for me is to fly with the first low cost carrier in the Middle East, AirAr4bia.

This will add to my list of airlines that I have flown. Right now, I have flown with 16 airlines and AirAr4bia will be my 17th. airlines.

I have yet to book the ticket, so the famous blogger at Sharj4h tu, sabar-sabar lah dulu ye. Upon checking the website, the fare has gone up by QAR200 .. aarrgghhhhh...... so much of delaying to buy the ticket.

After a short discussion with my current travel partner, Zals, we decided to postpone our trip to Sharj4h...

To our dearest friend over there, a thousand apologise.... nanti Zals contact you.....

Hmm.... I already informed my MDs that I will not be attending the monthly meeting next Thursday - but now, I need to retract that email.... So much about planning.... :-(
