Malindo Air

✅ Trip Verified | I was supposed to board a 3.50pm flight today and it was delayed until 8.50pm. Sms told covid restriction by MKN. Really mad. How come you delay a flight to such a long period and it is only fly locally. Keep your promise. Very bad service. Not even a complimentary voucher meal given to your passenger. Will not fly this airline again.

✅ Trip Verified | flown many times with Malindo. Generally not great and not terrible. This trip im extremely disappointed with Malindo. Our mid morning flight was cancelled and changed to 8:30 am. Then 3 days before flight, it was changed to 7 pm. Basically our whole day has been destroyed. I thought I’d help Malindo by flying them but now regret not sticking to the competitor.

✅ Trip Verified | I had booked my air ticket with Malindo Air and my journey date was 03 May 2020. The flight was cancelled from Malindo side stating the reason for covid. it has been more than 1-1/2 years now and when contacted to Malindo air in October 2021, they replied to my email that the Malindo flights are not operational from Kuala Lumpur to any part of India. Is this legal to hold our money and be in mercy of Malindo. There are bubble flights operational with other flights (Air Asia etc) and I need to travel urgently to India. I have asked for refund via email communication but the email reply / process from Malindo side is very slow.

✅ Trip Verified | This airline should be thoroughly ashamed of its policies and customer service. I went direct to the airline at much more expense thinking booking direct would be a safer option. Within a day of receiving my booking and money they sent me an email bringing the flight forward by 2 hours. The next day they sent me an email cancelling the flight altogether and offering me a flight the next day due to operational reasons. When I contacted them, they informed me that they would only issue a voucher not a refund. I cannot use this voucher and had to book another airline to get to my connecting flight. This is totally outrageous as they cancelled the flight and cannot provide the service that was paid for. So they just keep everyone’s money and hope that you can’t use the voucher. The voucher is totally useless to me and in light of their behavior with this last flight even if I could use the voucher I would not trust them not to cancel again. Travel is stressful enough as it is in the pandemic, but to refuse to give a refund when the cancellation is totally the fault of the airline is just plain wrong.

✅ Trip Verified | My flight was cancelled. I was offered a voucher but declined - they don't fly enough routes I'd want to use. Eventually they agreed to a refund (after many emails). Since then I've chased every month. I keep being told it's being passed to another department for payment but over a year later - no refund.

Not Verified | The travel voucher refund is very long to receive. Only received a year after I requested it. If not because of the travel voucher, I wont use this airline anymore. Not worth your money at all. Customer service also very bad. Didn't reply to customer's email, if you didn't call to ask about the email, they won't reply to it and respond to it. Too many times the flight was cancelled but they didn't help at all to assist to get the new flight date. Customer call centre also very hard to reach. I called hundred times but too hard to answer. You cannot call using your mobile phone because cannot press "1" or "2" to choose English or Bahasa. Email didnt respond, call cannot reached - the worst airline ever!

Not Verified | Worst experience I have ever had with an airline. Flight cancelled in early March 2020. Cannot seem to get a refund after months of emails and phone calls. Consistent lying and unforeseen delays, I believed this excuse at the beginning but it has been over a year now and really don't believe this is a legitimate airline.

✅ Trip Verified | I booked flights for myself and my wife in 6th Jan 2020 with Malindo Air to take us from India to Perth via Malaysia on 23 April 2020 but due to covid the flights were cancelled. I filled out the Refund request form straight away but it kept crashing, eventually after a week it went through. I hadn't heard anything back so I emailed customer services on 22nd April and heard nothing so I emailed again on 4th May and again 14th May and still had no reply. I then found they had a Facebook page so I messaged the page on 18th May and they replied to say they had passed the message onto the relevant department. Having heard nothing back I messaged them again on 31st May, they replied on 1st June and said my refund was being processed and I just needed to wait. I waited until 17th June and messaged again, this time they replied and said they were going to escalate it. Finally 23rd June they messaged back to say they were doing my refund via a voucher to be used on flights and valid for 12 months. I replied straight back and explained that I do not intend to fly in the next 12 month or even longer and that I wanted my money returned, not a voucher. They replied back and said no money will be refunded. As you can imagine with covid 19 I'm not in a hurry to go abroad and I need the money refunded as I'm currently unable to work.

Not Verified | Malindo Air has turned into an absolute nightmare of an airline due to my experience today. I was supposed to be on a flight today on Malindo Air, but unfortunately without even an email, phone call or any sort of alert, my flight was cancelled. We spent so much time and effort packing the whole day and driving to the airport which felt like hours to have found out my flight had been cancelled. Lets not forget I had to do a Covid Test which was expensive as heck and now I'll have to do it again. Just never fly from here if you don't want disappointment and problems in your life.

✅ Trip Verified | Malindo Air cancelled our flights due to COVID-19 requested a refund or vouchers in April. Still have not heard back. Have sent multiple emails to customer service and they keep saying that they have forwarded them on to the correct department. Then nothing. Just want email back confirming they are processing them. Not sure how you can rate them if they didn’t fly you anywhere.
