OnMyWay2 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I know it's kind of affecting my desire to want to take that long plane trip again, and I'm onmyway2 I can only imagine average folks are having some second thoughts. you guys notice any difference or is it business as usual?

guzzi850m2 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 No I don't think so. It's much much safer to fly than riding a bus/car/bike in Thailand or elsewhere for that matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaPhom Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 if you use a reputable taxi rather than buses etc and leave plenty time for check in, shouldnt ever be a reason for missing a plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, NOW is a good time to get a bargain package deal on Malaysia. Thinking seriously about doing it myself. I've flown with MH many times, it is an excellent airline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Flew them twice last week, no complaints... Price about $600 cheaper (BKK-KUL-ADL) than other full service carriers on the route (Bangkok to Adelaide) and cheaper than Air Asia by about $100... No hesitation in flying them then or in the future (next trip with them in May) Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanno Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 you Pattaya guys are a little bit kamikaze anyway so no big surprise Nothing Kamikaze about it. Most airlines have lost a plane at one time or another, including British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Air France,Lufthansa. They are still considered safe airlines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I flew across the Atlantic 4 times to South America with Air France after their mishap, would be very surprised if their crew made the same mistake again now they know what happened. Did about 12 flights last year with MLA, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangoon Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Malaysia Airlines is still considered as one of the best airlines here in Asia Pacific. Their alliance with all the Oneworld carrier really make a lot a difference in terms of my travel choices. I flew with them many times now to North and South America via London and connect with British Airways or TAM for onwards to either states or latin. They have a really good price now (this week) to Australia and places like Darwin or Ayers Rock. I was also told today that they have a really good prices to Europe from tomorrow onwards. Their prices has become really competitive for the last few months. At least this year i've booked 4 flights out of BKK with only Malaysia Airlines. Also if you check carefully from their internet and if you are planning for a short excursion to Kuala Lumpur, their price on the last daily flight (MH779) out of Bangkok is really damn cheap. I have no hesitation flying with Malaysia Airlines... They have one of the best gorgeous cabin crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I imagine this tragedy was rather more than my concern over such things as blocked exits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sure it is. Anytime there are unexplained catastrophes such as this, people think twice. I actually cancelled a trip to Kuala Lumpur and went to the Philippines instead. I just wasn't quite comfortable with the way Malaysia handled the situation....so I went around it.....as I am sure many will. Perhaps they should. It is more of a protest, on my part, that I avoid that location. They need to check passports at the minimum. This is going to be an issue for a while. For all I know, the pilot may have been working alone, been hijacked, or perhaps belongs to a network that wants to inflict casualties...... I am out of there....until the full story comes out.

tropo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Prices on Malaysian Airlines are a bit cheaper now and next time I travel to SE Asia, I'll be looking to book Malaysian Airlines. I've always found Malaysian Airline tickets overpriced... therefore never booked with them. I don't feel there's any more or less risk with them than any other airline. Sooner of later a plane is going down. We just have to hope we're not on-board at the time. I feel the same whenever I go out on my motorcycle.

Be nice now... Missing a plane is not always a bad thing. I wonder if anyone missed 370. Certainly there would be quite a number of individuals throughout aviation history who missed flights which crashed. How would you feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanUSA Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I know two people that have decided not to fly to Malaysia because of that flight. So yes, it is affecting tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
