Good, I am tired of flying in everyone else's ATR's. Nothing agaist the service other companys provided or anything negative at all, just this type aircraft makes the news to often.

Will be interesting to see if the daily Firefly service to KL continues, and the pricing comparison between the 2. Also which airport Bangkok Airways flies to - the major KLI one I am assuming.

Could be OK for visa runs, but you get very little time in town for your overnight stay. At least Firefly (albeit on the edge on town) leaves you time to do more than just sleep!

Do not fool yourself or get too excited, most are code share.
