Malindo Air

✅ Trip Verified | I have travelled a lot and would have to say Malindo Air is the worst airline I have ever been on. We were the only two in Business class and we had to ask for service and there was two hostesses. Food was a terrible. With the head sets for movies only one side worked and movies, well they would have had to be 10 years old on some of them. Seats were uncomfortable. Total waste of money!

Not Verified | Brisbane to Langkawi via Bali. Never again will I fly with Malindo Air, it was a first and last time. Had I known that we wouldn’t be permitted to leave the plane at Bali while they refueled. Most passengers left at Bali only about 20 remained, we were stuck on board for two hours! Cleaners came through, appalling clean and didn’t change the pillows or blanket in business or the rest of the plane. The blankets were refolded and the pillows plumped up. At Brisbane we were told we had to collect bags at KL - at KL they couldn’t find bags and we were told we don’t collect until Langkawi despite 4 different staff telling us to collect. Our flight to Kuala Lumpur was late therefore missed the connection where put up in a motel all fitted out like an aircraft even our room had aircraft windows and bulkhead last thing one felt like after 11 plus hours on a plane! Very disorganised airline

✅ Trip Verified | Brisbane to Kuala Lumpur via Bali. We were looking forward to a happy tour and decided to try a different airliner and book on Malindo Air. What a mistake. Don't look at prices when decided to fly. With the bad experience we had with Malindo Air we will steer away from this airline in future. We will never fly Malindo Air in our life again. Our flight returning home was canceled and were left on our own at the airport in Kuala Lumpur and had to arrange our own way to return to Australia. No support was provided and all dealings and enquiries were handled with an attitude of "We don't care". Airport personnel says we can book with any other airliner and claim a refund when returning to Australia. What a bull of crap. Back in Australia, the drama starts. We start with our claim and after many communications were advice that our claim for a refund was denied.

✅ Trip Verified | Chennai to Denpasar via Kuala Lumpur. I would like to thank the staff and cabin crew for a wonderful journey. The seats, sitting space, cleanliness, very attentive and responsive cabin staff. Meals, water and cold drinks served nicely. The facilities provided in flight was very good. The seat front screen provided entertainment and information that made travel easy, they also provided on ear headphones. We had a night journey and airlines provided blankets so overall the journey was nice and comfortable.

Not Verified | Brisbane to Denpasar. Absolutely disgusting. Delay of 7 hours. Old plane and just tacky interior. Seats uncomfortable. No WiFi, no entertainment. Food was inedible. Drinks sparse. Just overall bad. Would not recommend. Sadly I have to fly back to Brisbane still, horrid thought.

✅ Trip Verified | Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi. First time I ever flew Malindo and I must say the flight was only an hour long but there was a 90 minute delay time. The plane was parked at the departure gate but the crew wasn't there, I also noticed that the groundstaff were throwing suitcases in instead of using the belt. We were given a reason that crew came late from Bangkok. As for the snacks we were given a candy bar and a juice of our choice. Overall I believe that there are better options.

✅ Trip Verified | We took the Malindo flight OD152 from PER to KUL in the business class cabin. There were no complications or unpleasant surprises at all. In fact, it was all rather nice. We got to hang out in the Quantas Lounge until take off which was right on schedule and our arrival at KUL was 20 min ahead of schedule. The cabin was spotless and the staff were very friendly and comforting. I have read some comments here about the lack of an inflight entertainment system (IES) in business class which was indeed missing during our flight as well. To those business class passengers commuting primarily in Australia and South East Asia, please be reminded that a regular economy class seat with zero IES is the standard in Europe in the business class cabins of renown carriers like Lufthansa, BA, KLM, Air France etc.. The only incentive for flying businesses class there is the slightly better treatment, a slightly nicer meal and the guarantee that no one will sit next to you! On our Malindo flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur we had a nice big compfy recliner chair! Grab a good book or do some work on the computer and enjoy the flight! I was initially suspicious about Malindo Air since I had never traveled with them before - I would book them anytime again, no problemo!

✅ Trip Verified | Lombok to Perth via Bali . Has got to be the worse airline ever in terms of efficiency and delay. Terrible customer service. Staff does not speak English and will tell you what you want to hear just so you leave them alone. Missed connecting flights through the same company (Batik air, Malindo, Lion air) and they wouldn’t pay for any hotel to accomodate us for 14 hours. Missed the next day of work which of course is not going to be refunded. Not a single apology or explanation during this very stressful situation. Have been left drained by this experience and will not be flying with them again. Better off spending a little bit more on a different airline and get to your destination on time.

✅ Trip Verified | Perth to Kuala Lumpur. A little bit of deception is happening here. I have flown Malindo a couple of times and always found them excellent. Especially the value. However this last time on both legs (PER-KUL-PER) they used Batik Air planes which meant, despite paying for Business Class, there was absolutely no IFE available. So 6 hours each way twiddling my thumbs and looking for something to read. I asked the attendant why this was so and she advised Batik planes were now in service fore the Perth-KL run. So all the advertising for Malindo offering a full service from Perth is now false. Must say I felt more than a little ripped off. If I had have booked Batik I would have paid a bundle less. On the bright side, the food and service were very good. But that doesn't take away from the deception now being foisted on the public.

✅ Trip Verified | Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. Reasonably priced business class fare. Check in was quick and smooth. Lounge access in Changi with a good selection of food. However the outbound flight was retimed and flight took off about an hour late. Cabin crew friendly and helpful. Reasonably good legroom. Return flight from Kuala Lumpur was more on time. Again very quick check în with a very helpful agent. The lounge in KLIA was however located way very far from the boarding area. On board service was good. The only criticism I have about the on board service is the meal only consisted of a small slice of chicken pizza and a small wafer snack. It was OK but I would have preferred to have a more substantial Malaysian dish like Nasi Lemak.
