Fantastic news, and so much better than Skyteam
I know MAS isn't quite a "five star" airline, but the product is still better than average and fares are reasonable. Nice to have a decent alternative to Star in SE Asia
Much like the rest of you, I now have a loyalty dilemma... I have some MAS regional business class flights this week - shall I credit to Flying Blue as normal, or do I join and start building Enrich (as an alternative and maybe easier programme to get status than BAEC in the UK)?
Hmmm....

More likely, it's QF's intentions for JQ Asia and the phenomenal growth of Air Asia X that have prompted the decision to launch an LCC. SQ is many things but they're not stupid.
But I'm sure this was very much unexpected also...
I want to wait for the impending SQ announcement on their new medium/long-haul LCC. If my guess is right this announcement would be another shocker (and a bombshell to AirAsia X).
Back to topic...
I guess MH could only go the way of oneworld after they realised Garuda and Vietnam got into Skyteam... The Skyteam pie in SEA would then be too small to share around. So, MAS might have to act as Qantas' feeder into SEA for some time to come.
It is really interesting actually. Jetstar had a cooperation with AirAsia sometime ago and they said they wanted to do things together (or something like that), and now parent airline Qantas partners with MAS? LOL I think something's got to give...

Wonderful news!
MH's prices are keen (unlike others); they have a history of price f*ups which they honour; I like their service and food (although not the J seat); the lounges at KUL are very nice; and KUL as a city also has great food and accommodation options.
So for me, the question now is ... what's the shortest/best value MH roundtrip ex-KUL which has F ?

but this will not happening until probably late 2012 right?
I did a quick check. But I think the sector requirement on MH is more than CX.
BTW, I notice something interesting
Indonesia GA -> ST
Spore SQ -> SA
Mysia MH -> OW
Then
Thailand TG -> SA
Vietnam VN -> ST
No OW in Indochina area
Then
HK CX -> OW
Taiwan CI -> ST
Taiwan BR -> SA (is this confirm??)visit my blog

Excellent news that they are finally joining an alliance, and what a bonus it's OW instead of ScaryTeam.

Now that there will be other places worth dumping the miles it makes MH much more attractive, as it means no more dealing with the idiots at Enrich, and I say this as a previous Enrich Gold.

Originally posted by sealalula View PostDoes this mean BA/QF will shift their hub to KUL?

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostI agree the service is great, and the J seat is pretty good and up there with most until the last couple of years. On the 777 it's fab as you get boatloads of room.

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostMH's soft product is right up there with the very best of them. Their cabin crews are fantastic and will possibly be the best in OW now. It's just a shame they still have those 737's on international flights, I even saw one in PER a couple of weeks ago!.
