Air Asia

Ok, I din't manage to nap at all!! Lexy was bothering me the entire time and I don't know why!!! I tried sleeping and he just kept disturbing me ... sighz!

Ok anyway back to the topic that I actually wanted to write about >>>>Air Asia

The trip to LCCT, KL was operated by Air Mauritius instead of AA - this was due to the planes not delivered on time thus AA needed to lease the planes from AM instead. It was a smooth ride, food and entertainment on board was UTMOST IMPORTANT {FREE} ...

Air Mauritius

OK now for the return -- back to London STN. This time it was Air Asia X. I must say that I was surprised that the insides of the plane was new & clean. Although delay is the thing that happens a lot with Air Asia but I guess that won't stop anybody using it as their tickets are cheaper than MAS or any other airline that will fly to Malaysia. Stansted is an awesome airport I must say, they don't have rude staff unlike Heathrow.... btw Heathrow Airport is the worst airport to go to....The Q is uber long and the officers are CRAP SHIT! Believe me, they are immigrants themselves as most of them working there are NOT ang mor .... When u walk into Heathrow airport, your first impression is "Is this UK?" 1 ang mor at the immigration desk also takde ....

Air Asia

Back to AA, I would suggest not ordering the food online even though you might save a couple of quid because you have a whole lot of choices ordering them on the spot. Be aware with paying with credit card as not all AA planes have the swipe machine. Bring a lot of cash with you (RM or GBP) as the food sold on board is SOOOO expensive. White coffee for RM5, water for RM4, snickers for RM5, etc.... They did say no outside food allowed but everyone just brought their own extra food as they serve their food about 1 hour after take off and 2 hours before landing --- there is a Looooong gap in between where the only thing you can eat is snacks that they have for sale (not a lot of choices).

Note: it is about 13 hours 30 min journey from KL to Ldn.

I love love love the legroom AA has in comparison with other airlines. I am short and I find it very cramp in other airlines so imagine the taller dudes and dudettes!!! I must say that the reclining seat is a problem for me. It will recline but not stay for long which is a pain for a 13++ hour journey. Back problem for me now!! =(

BIG SPACE

Entertainment onboard is important for people who cannot really sleep or easily bored ie ME. Thank god, Air Asia had this portable e-player in which you can watch some OLD movies, songs, games and TV shows. But be aware, it will only last 8 hours approx. so use it wisely and they have limited number of players therefore you will need to be fast!!! The cost haha, everything on AA is chargeable, luckily not the toilets!!! =P. Cost is RM35/GBP 5

e-player

The newer planes for Air Asia will be better as they will install the player behind the head rest like every other airline instead of handing out those e-player.

Overall, I enjoyed my journey and will defo use them again when I return to Malaysia next time... =)
