Re: Malaysia Airlines

We've flown with them many times over the last 20 plus years. Never been disappointed.

I have to conclude they must have spent all their budget on new planes (very nice) as they had nothing left over for food- which was appalling to say the least. Dinner was a wrap of indeterminate filling- like the awful stuff they serve on Qantas domestic flights.

The reason for new planes is that they are more fuel efficient, cheaper to maintain (lower running costs) and good lease deals were available a few years back.

Yes it did- for dinner as main meal to KL, main meal to Hanoi, main meal Hanoi to KL and again KL to Melbourne.

We were starving when we got home.
