Airasia - Now Everyone Can Fly !

Written on September 10, 2007 – 12:00 am | by Beng Han | 181 views

Daily Say : Very the headache since last night during 8TV moderation.

Well well, what do you say about the low cost flight by Tony Fernandez?

We all have to admit that he is a brilliant man behind the scene, absolutely he is.

Airasia’s terminal has been moved to Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) since last year, it has been operated as usual and they share a runway with Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Shit really happens, my business trip to Penang was delayed for about an hour!

Check out my itinerary during my departure date:-

11.00am - Taxi picked me up to Kepong Sentral.
11.30am - After a while waiting for the bad managed train, i boarded the train to KL Sentral.
11.45am - Check the timing with the transit bus of KL Sentral - LCCT, but I was told that I can’t make it on time to catch my flight. Taxi offered me with RM85.00 fares from KL Sentral - LCCT, i rejected.
12.00pm - I bought KLIA Express at RM35.00 and reaching KLIA in 28 minutes time. This is seriously professional. The train arrives to the station at 12.00pm sharp and it leaves immediately.
12.30pm - Arrived to KLIA on time, quickly rush to the taxi stand to jump into a taxi and asked him to rush me to LCCT.
12.50pm - Arrived to LCCT, checked In, went into the waiting area, bought some expensive breads, look at some pretty girls.
1.45pm - Everyone starting to queue up for departure at 1.55pm
1.50pm - AirAsia announces that there is a massive traffic jam on the routes, departure was delayed.
2.10pm - Everyone is queuing up to go through the gate to the plane.
2.20pm - Captain announced that there are freaking 9 planes queuing for taking off. Gosh, runway is having traffic jam, again. I watched 1 plane taking off, 1 plane landing, 1 plane taking off, 1 plane landing …
3.00pm - Yay, take off.


Traffic Jam to Runway

It has been 2-3 years since the last time i took a flight to Penang, AirAsia has the torn lousy seats. This time, I was assigned to be in Penang for supervising a building up process by my colleagues. Meeting the colleagues, Penang friends, and the clients is absolutely meaningful.

With a camera in hand, I just can’t stop to take photos. I’m just simply curious on few things.

  1. Whenever emergency happens in a flight, I understand that the breathing thing will pop out from the top and you will need to breath through it. But, someone tell me why?
  2. During emergency evacuations, why do we need to bend down like shown in the image below? I don’t understand this as well.

They are selling all these cheap items at an affordable price. To be frank, I love planes and ships. So, who want to give me Aircraft Models or Ship Models? My birthday is tonight.

By the way, I don’t like the way where they ask everyone to straighten up the seats during departure and landing, it is damn uncomfortable and it makes me nausea.

Behold the power of Canon IXUS 850IS! See the Macro Shots!

I don’t know how it flies into the gap between 2 sheet of thick windows and end up dying there. (FYI, there are 2 layers of windows, shown as below)

AirAsia maximizes it’s revenue by adding on branding possibilities. They even have some Digi Advertisement on the SkyBus.


Okay, bye Penang.

I miss Jessie, Elise, I miss Lasker, i miss Chee Hsien, i miss Benjipapa, i miss Cedric, i miss Willaz, i miss aL, i miss millymin, i miss Wendy, i miss Minny, i miss Criz.

Thanks for spending time with me the night. =)
