Budget Flight

I have taken a few flights on our budget airline and sadly, Malaysians are just ... typical Malaysians. The following are just random blogs or notes for our kiasu Malaysians when it comes to taking a budget flight:

1. Yes, it's true. The tickets don't have seat numbers. But if you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

2. Yes, it's also true. You have to check in early. Not because you have to fight for your seat but its airline regulations that you check in early. If you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

3. Please queue up. You don't have to gather in a huge crowd at the boarding lounge. If you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

4. You don't have to run to the plane. If you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

5. No, you will not be asked to "Masuk belakang lagi, masuk belakang lagi! Buat dua baris!" (Move back some more, make two rows) and no, there are no handrails on the top. If you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

6. No, you don't have to throw your hand luggage in through the aircraft window to book your seat. If you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

7. No need to fight for seats. No such thing as "chun" seats. Plane crash, you still die. Terrorist bomb, you still die. Terrorist shoot rocket, you still die. So, if you have been issued a ticket, you will definitely have a seat.

8. No, they don't serve you food. That's what budget airline is all about. No frills flight, remember? If you want food, you have to buy from them? Of course its expensive! How do you think you make a profit? By selling your things at cost? Duh!?

9. Yes, they want you to buy their food. So NO OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED! Last flight I was on, this family of 9 were passing around this huge farking bag of McDonald's.

10. Even though it's budget flight, the safety equipments have not been compromised. You don't have to bring your own life jacket.
