Yes so true getting the legs pumping between lounges at HKIA and terminals at KLIA will always be part of the journey for me!! 

Exactly Boeing Tragic, I will keep enjoying the authentic Business Class service on MAS to UK instead.  No pony tailed chefs meals or designer glassware. Each to our own.

I think Joycey is a bit over zealous , only sydney siders will take up the 20 hour direct schlep. The remainder of Aussies will still prefer to fly via Singapore or Hong Kong or KL etc etc and expereince some "culture" on the stopover. That's a tradition for Aussie travellers, Joycey being and Ir...

I am in KL regularly for work, although MAS is the only option ex Mel (unless you take AirAsia out of Avalon when its running - and I am not knocking Air Asia premium, its not too bad!), if Joyce ever made the Intelligent decision to fly to KLIA direct, I would still fly MAS. 

looks like a good long weekend holiday coming up to NZ
