Malaysia Airlines have hit rock bottom
Malaysia Airlines were once a good airline in the same category as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. Now they are a shambles, totally unreliable, poor cabin crew and have a terrible Customer Service. I used MAS four times in the last two weeks and I will never use them again. Every flight was delayed leaving, 35 minutes late was the best they managed the others were around the 58/59 minute mark (to avoid paying compensation I guess?) In truth the delays are longer as they then sit on the tarmac for 30 minutes revving their engines. The latest flight caused me to have to run to make my connection at Doha. I made it by minutes. I should have two hours to make the connection but because they were so late leaving I almost missed the connection which was on the same ticket. Not that they cared. They didnt offer any help or even tell me what I should do if I got stuck in Doha with no luggage. The cabin crew seem reluctant to make any effort during the flight and certain seats are in blind spots to them. You have to beg to get any drink at all from them. The ground crew are slow beyond belief and never show any urgency or organisation which is the main reason for the delays. The flight was supposed to leave at 9pm , but people were still trying to get into the gate at 8:40, waiting for their luggage to be scanned. I will never use them again. I only ended up with them because Qatar used them as a codeshare for the Doha to KL part of the journey and the same coming back. Because its a codeshare, you cant check in/book your seats online. They are just awful. If you dont mind sitting in the airport for hours or don't have connections to make then they are probably bearable. If not avoid at all costs
