Flying Silk Air from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur: Flight MI 340 - A320 Economy Class

When I booked my flight to Singapore (via Singapore Airlines) my flight back to Kuala Lumpur was via Silk Air.  

Three days before my flight I received an email informing me that my flight has been rescheduled to depart at 5.55pm (original time was 4.10pm). I accepted the change and thought I can spend a little more time in Singapore.

On the day that I was due to leave, I received another email informing that the flight has been rescheduled...pushing it to 6.30pm 😐

There wasn't much I can do since I was already at the airport when I read the email. 

First Time Flying Via Singapore Airlines | Kuala Lumpur to Singapore: SQ 107 A330-300 Economy Class

Whenever I need to head down to Singapore I often take Malaysia Airline (or Airasia), it never cross my mind to take Singapore Airlines because I thought it will be more expensive.

So the other day while browsing both MAS & SIA website, I found that SIA had a cheaper deal as compared to MAS. In that instance I booked the flight via SIA. For those wondering, I can get it cheaper if I've taken Airasia...providing if I do not have any luggage check in. 

SIA total RM370 ⏬

MAS total RM511 ⏬

Flying Economy Class With All Nippon Airways (ANA) (Kuala Lumpur To Haneda / Narita To KLIA)

I took ANA during my recent trip to Tokyo. It was a short notice and booked my flight 2 months before the trip and paid RM1,598 for a return ticket. Previously my trip to Japan was AirAsia but due to the recent changes with their hand carry luggage I decided to play safe and choose ANA instead. I'm glad I did cause it turn out the ticket was slightly cheaper when compared to the budget airline.  

It was my first flying with ANA and on the day of my travel it was pouring heavily. Raining and flying is defiantly not a good combination for me since I have fear of flying. Yup...my family and friends just don't get it why I still manage to fly consistently despite my fear of flying. Two words...no choice (lol). 

Fortunately when it was time to board the plane the rain had finally stopped. Thank god!

I have to pass through the premium seats before economy seats behind. Noted the premium seats are spacious but the pricing range is double the price of an economy seat. 

However I'm pretty happy with my seat cause it turn out the other 2 seats were vacant...which means I have all 3 seats to myself (woohoo...lucky me). 

Basic comforts such as a pillow and a blanket to all passengers. 

Legroom is decent and the seat was surprisingly spacious.

Water bottle is provided once the plane took off....

....subsequently followed with rice cracker as snack. The rice cracker turn out to be really good and I wished I could ask for a second pack (too shy to ask and not sure if its limit to one pack per passenger). 

Drinks provided after your snack and opted for orange juice. 

Crew members will pass the customs declaration and disembarkation card around and I fill it in immediately so that I don't have to worry about it later. 

ANA in-flight entertainment was better than I thought. I get to watch the latest movie 'Beauty & The Beast' on board. Browsing through the available movies that they have, noted that most of their in-flight movies are the latest release hollywood movies. They are other categories and they have mixed range of older to newer movies to choose from.  

No worry if your mobile phone run out of battery, there's a USB port available for charging :) 

If you're wondering what meal they will serve on board, you can check out this link for more info. There're two sets to choose from but when its my turn they were left with chicken set.  I didn't mind cause this set turn out to be really good. 

I love the Japanese udon noodle that was included in this set and I ate it on its own without the sauce (I didn't know about it until I finished it). Delicious! The only dish I didn't quite like was the dessert which was the black forrest cake. 

Was getting sleepy after a heavy meal so a cup of coffee helps to keep me awake. 

Before landing you'll get another snack - croissat sandwich. Something to munch since the meal that was served was way too early to call it as dinner. 😝

We landed in Haneda airport slightly after 10pm, which took approximately 6.5 hours to arrive. We departed from KLIA on time so there was no worry about missing the last train/bus to your next destination. 

After spending 10 days in Tokyo, I took a flight out of Narita to Kuala Lumpur. On my way to the airport I realised that I have left my boarding pass print out in my luggage. Fortunately I was able to show my mobile boarding pass  (which was sent to me 24 hours before my flight) to the staff at the counter. They have a different counter check-in  specifically for mobile boarding pass which is so convenient and less crowded. Although I'm given 23kg luggage to check in but I already have problem lifting my luggage from the ground which weigh 22.1kg! Thankfully there was a staff nearby to assist me. 😅

My 2 hand carry bags and my last minute shopping in the airport. I sort of went overboard with my purchase this trip.

My meal onboard from Narita Airport-bound ANA flight - Deep fried chicken and vegetables over steamed rice. Although the fried chicken had become soggy but its still good though. Only fault I can find is the caramel cake which is a bit tasteless (no idea why the cake taste kinda blend).

For snacks we have pastry bread. 

Great for those who crave for something sweet. 😋

Overall I impressed with the service and the flight attendants...and not forgetting the delicious meal too. You can be sure that I will be flying with ANA anytime soon. If you’re planning a trip to Japan or other parts of Asia, I highly suggest flying ANA.

Malaysia Airlines Business Class A380 flight: Kuala Lumpur to Heathrow, London

My first trip to London via Business Class. This is perhaps the only time I look forward going to the airport early and to enjoy the facility at the Golden Lounge in KLIA. Had my breakfast here before boarding. ^^

Business Class ticket ^^

Our seat was at the upper deck and took an escalator to the waiting area before boarding. 

Spacious waiting area and there is an Internet Kiosk at the corner.

Time to board the plane for our 13 hours journey flight. 

Once on board we were directed to our seats and were offered drinks. 

 We were offered a hot towel after our drinks. 

Here I'm checking out their Business Menu. 

I definitely love the luxuries of full-service like more leg room, snacks, and in-flight entertainment. 

Checking out the storage compartment.

My first ever amenity kit on flight. The amenity kit contained a toothbrush and toothpaste, mouthwash, a comb, eye shades, socks, and creams from Clarins. 

Business class lavatory.

Much spacious than expected.

Juice and Cashew nuts were served once the plane took off. 

 I snuggled to the warm blanket and watch the movie from the entertainment selection.

My only complaint about the entertainment selection has to be the ads that kept playing before each program...and I mean 'every' show! Imagine you have to watch the ad over and over again on every show in your 13 hours whole journey. >.<

Going through the flight menu. 

Drinks list.

2 hours after the take-off, Chicken and Beef Satay were served.....

and Creamy Hot Flake Salmon cake and Smoke Salmon as starter.

Honestly, it was quite feeling for starter such as these. 

Next came the main course: Baked fillet of COD.

 Served with pesto fettuccine, asparagus, sundried tomato.

To finish, Pistachio Franzipan Tart and.....

  Ice-Cream for desserts. 

Hot towers, bottled water and and fast track immigration cards were given after the meal. 

You can order from the snack menu when you're hungry or craving for a snack.

Ordered a bowl of Noodles and it was quite delicious. 

Before the arrival, light meals were served.

Grilled Jumbo Prawns in Lemongrass skewer.

Followed by Chicken Roulade with Red and Green Capsicum.

Honestly, it wasn't a light meal...it's a hearty and delicious meal indeed. 

Finally....after 13 hours you can see the view outside when descent. 

You can watch the tail camera when landing. 

Overall, the journey have been smooth and relaxing. The business class seats were spacious and comfortable for sleeping, although I managed to sleep for 2 to 3 hours. 

To be continued with my trip in London. ^^
