Malindo Air

✅ Verified Review | I flew with Malindo Air on 29 May 2016 from Kota Bharu to Subang. I had been informed 2 days earlier that my flight time had been changed from 11.25 to 11.50 am. Check in was smooth. Flight departed and landed on time. The plane was clean and tidy. The seats and legroom were comfortable. Both ground staff and cabin crews were very friendly. During the flight I was offered a complimentary drink and some crackers. Overall, it was very good service.

✅ Verified Review | Flying with a low cost carrier I did not expect much from Malindo Air but my expectations were exceeded. Flew from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong. With their fleet of 737's they seem to fly from KLIA and not KLIA2 which is the better option. The aircraft's were very clean but the seat comfort in terms of softness could be improved as it felt a little stiff over time. Services, especially inflight were very pleasant, especially the flight attendants who were very helpful and always had smiles on their faces. There were three meal options provided on each leg and they were serving drinks at least 4 times throughout the 3.5hr flight. A few choices of Hollywood movies could have been added as five felt a bit small. From now on I will certainly prefer them over AirAsia.

I flew from Perth to Colombo on 27th of April and was impressed with Malindo Air. The plane was new with lots of leg room in economy class. The food was good Chicken Biriyani on both sectors, and they give you 30 kilos of baggage on this route. I had nothing but good to say about this flight until I came to Colombo and I got only 1 of my suitcases - the other one is missing and it is a case of nobody knows anything about the missing baggage (now 8 days). I call the baggage section at Colombo and filled in the form etc but nobody helps with information on what the are doing to retrieve my suitcase from wherever. They need better customer service to help their passengers.

✅ Verified Review | Flew Malindo Air from Kuala Lumpur to Lahore. Smart, comfortable, great value and great pilots. Friendly, well-dressed and neat cabin staff. Nice leather seats. 30kg free baggage and free meal. Storm erupted 5 min before landing but our pilot landed smoothly. Didn't eat as I wasn't hungry but the food looked ok. Inflight included wifi through t-mobile for the full duration at $16 but didn't use it. My seat (row 15) didn't recline as the row behind me was an exit row - avoid row 15. Excellent value for money.

✅ Verified Review | My first Business Class experience with Malindo Air was on Kuala Lumpur - Denpasar, OD306/02APR operated by a B737-900ER and returning Denpasar - Kuala Lumpur on OD307/09APR operated by a B737-800ER. The legroom on both flights is more than sufficient for the distance, however the Lumbar Support for their Business Class seats is a little bit hard compared to Malaysia Airlines B737-800ER. It takes two minutes to get used to it. The breakfast served on the outgoing flight was a bit dry. I ordered an omelette but I was served scrambled eggs instead. The dinner on the returning flight surprised me when they offered me wine while I was not expecting it - most especially after a bad experience flying Malaysia Airlines on the same route 3 months earlier where they made cutback on alcoholic beverages for flights of less than 3 hours in duration. The next surprise was that dinner was served course by course. And after that it was a continuous flow of white wine. The white coffee served on Malindo Air was delicious. The crew were all warm and friendly as well as being very professional. The kebayas make them look so very elegant and charming. Malindo Air is definitely making its way to a full service carrier. What Malaysia Airlines has taken from you in their Business Class service cutbacks, Malindo Air has added them: e.g Salt & Pepper Shakers on the meal trays and of course, Wine. Overall, I am more than satisfied with Malindo Air and will definitely give them priority for destinations which they cover. I hope to see them expand to more destinations in Indonesia as well as launch flights to Taiwan.

✅ Verified Review | Penang to Tiruchirapally via Kuala Lumpur with Malindo Air. The check in process was very fast and ground crew very friendly. When I board both aircrafts, I can feel that it is extremely hot in both cabins. The cup cake served on the flight from PEN to KUL was tasteless. The in flight entertainment was not turned on for the PEN to KUL flight too. The food served for KUL to TRZ was the same as the previous flight, I really hope that Malindo Air can change the types of food offered on its flights. But the cabin crew are extremely friendly and helpful. The legroom is extremely big too.

✅ Verified Review | My family and I flew with Malindo Air from Kochi to Singapore via Kuala Lumpur return on 27th March. I'm extremely impressed with this airline from the check-in process to the flight itself. The features that impressed me were the seat leg space, inflight entertainment system with touch screen and complimentary food. Cabin crew were extremely polite and friendly. However the cabin was a bit hot at times, and they could broaden the range of movies and televsion shows, although it was sufficient for a 4 hr 15 mins flight. Other than that, it was an enjoyable and relaxing flight and the only flight from Kochi that I really enjoyed. I would recommend this airline and would fly with them again.

✅ Verified Review | I did a one day trip Kuala Lumpur Subang to Penang return on 27FEB, which happened to be the first time on Malindo Air. The crew on both segments were very smart and most professional. Due to the short domestic flight, I didn't expect much in terms of meals; so, the water and snack was most adequate. My only gripe is the tight legroom.

Malindo Air have not honoured my flexi fare ticket. Having booked a return flight to Bali from Kuala Lumpur, and having booked the return part of that journey as a flexible fare; I have been told that despite me having been offered and paid for a return flexible ticket (which gives the option of a free change of date), I still have to pay for both the change and the fare difference because the outward journey was a promo fare. Apparently no matter what I paid for the second leg (which was not discounted), the flexi ticket is invalid despite being more expensive. So what is the point of being offered a flexi ticket for my return flight in the first place?

The baggage check in process went on smoothly without any problem, but I'm not quite satisfied with the weighing of my hand luggage. Weighing of my luggage didn't happened during my previous flight in December 2015. The ground staff and cabin crew were very friendly. The flight departed on time and reach KLIA before the estimated time of arrival. The seat was very comfortable and I like the Boeing Sky Interior. I feel that Malindo Air choice of moving from KLIA2 to KLIA Main Terminal is a wise one. The food served is still the same as before, perhaps Malindo Air can change the types of food served during its flights.
