- Welcome to this trip report on board the Malaysia Airlines A330-300 in the special “Harimau Malaya” (Malaysian Tiger) livery from Doha to Kuala Lumpur!
Malaysia Airlines has been requested quite a few times and I haven’t flown them since 2014 so it was about time.
They used to be amongst the world’s greatest but bad business decisions in the fleet, scheduling (and corruption) department spiraled the airline in debt. So I am glad to have tried out the new Malaysia Airlines!
They fly now double daily between Kuala Lumpur and Doha to assist Qatar Airways in feeding their flights to Europe, Africa and the USA. So let’s see what this is all about!
I managed to score 9A, the best seat on the entire aircraft in a small private 2 row economy cabin with some incredible legroom. Make sure you book the same 😉
A special thanks to all the crew members on this flight as it was obvious they were passionate about their jobs, specially the most senior crew members with over 25 (!) years of experience each.
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Doha Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar
To: Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Sepang, Malaysia
Flight Number: MH 165
Aircraft Type: Airbus A330-300
Registration: 9M-MTG
Flight Time: 06:55

This channel is like Tom and Jerry, You don't hear a word but enjoy every second !
you do hear long conversations in Tom & Jerry though because of Spike, Butch, Tom's other friends, Jerry's friends and nephew and other human characters 😆
haha, Tom and Jerry.. Lots of people here won’t even know them anymore! I uses to like them so I’ll take it like a compliment!
@@TheLayoverAviation so maybe Charlie Chaplin episodes were a better one
Nice video, very relatable. I am on Platinum with Malaysia Airlines and fly them almost very week, since I am living in KL. MAS is trying its very best to deliver a better customer experience again and they are progressing. Just the food is still not on par, which I know has to do with the complications with their longstanding catering supplier. Once they get that back on track and the new planes are introduced, I am happy to enjoy my weekly comfort with the fantastic crew. They really make the difference, truly Malaysian hospitality (for their Platinum members😅).
So the front cabin was empty, I was the only one there. I’m Emerald myself so I managed to score a seat there by myself. But what’s cool is that the MH crew went around the aircraft and invited the other MH Platinum and other Emerald’s to join in the cabin, so we were eventually 6 or so. I love it when they show that much care to those that are loyal, what a top gesture!
I’m aware of the catering complications out of KL and once it’s all fully settled I’ll fly them again for sure. Who knows we even cross paths? 😊
Thanks for writing!!
@@TheLayoverAviation the catering out of doha is not affected as it is supplied by doha kitchen. And it has always been dreadful. Same shit if you fly the share code operated by qatar.
As a malaysian I love it that your are Flying to Malaysia hopefully you have a great time visiting some states here in Malaysia.🎉🎉
I love going there! I went on holidays a good 2 weeks to Perhentian Kecil, had the time of my life! Thanks for hosting me in your country 🙏
I flew from KL to Auckland in 2018, they are really a great airline and very hospitable crew too.
100% agree. Better then SIA.
@@muaz3478 no that's too much, SIA is way better in terms of everything but yes Malaysia is improving a lot.
Thank you for flying Malaysia Airlines! Respect for you sir❤🇲🇾
I like flying on good airlines! Respect for watching 😜
Glad to see MH back on track again, can't wait to see their A330neos in operation next year! :)
Just the IFE needs some fixing.. And yes, I’m looking forward to it too! 😊
I thought malaysia airlines A330neo was coming in 2026! Oh boy i hope the livery is the same as the A380! ( Which is sadly retired :( )
Welcome to Malaysia and thanks for flying with Malaysia Airlines👋🏻
Alex another great professional report! Fantastic that you report from MH! Coincidentally I had the privilege to fly first class with Garuda from JKR to SPL/AMS in First class! It was a stunning Michelin star experience on its 777-300ER. Hope you can get the experience too next year, even if just business or economy! Garuda is back!! Hartelijke groet, Flip.
Great Video again it is good to see Malaysian Airlines coming back after a few lean years when I travel from the UK to KL there is only one airline I love the friendly crew in there great uniforms and great Asian food and hospitality that's what I like.
I am really looking forward to your review of the A350 and many more great videos.
Again thank you.
I take it you really liked the privacy of that small economy cabin as well as the PW4000’s screaming out of Doha.
The A330 is such a formidable aircraft in today’s age where we have the A350 and 787 and 777-300ER. It’s a prominent workhorse still in my opinion!
Enjoyed the trip report, kudos to you my friend 😌.
Oh hey, Malaysia Airlines! I’m so glad you enjoyed some of the experience. I haven’t had many enjoyed experiences unfortunately.
4:57 Spooky! Since I fly Malaysia Airlines a lot since I live in Malaysia, I actually flew the flight number MH370 in November 2013. Then back in March 2007, I flew the exact plane that vanished. I’ve got a photo of the plane. The date was 8th March 2007…that was the same day it vanished but just 7 years before. Too many coincidences 🫣
Great trip report bro!....keep soaring high!!
unbelievably best ever since I followed up on your TH-cam 👏👏👏👏
Thanks a lot for the nice words!!
Finally beautiful Kuala Lumpur! I just love Malaysia ❤
My favorite engine; always loved that humming on the sub-UA 777-200’s on my flights across the pacific. I have at least 5 takeoff videos with no visuals ; just the PW engine sounds
Keep making the beautiful and best videos. You give the best review.
Glad you think that, thanks a lot for the words!!!
Great tripreport alex. I love your videos so much. I started watching you last year, my first video was the saudia a320sl from Dubai to Riyadh. You're not only my favourite avgeek youtuber, you are also my favourite youtuber. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the super nice words, it’s such an honor for me! It’s a lot of work but your words mean a lot to keep going. 🙏
Have a great one and enjoy the next one coming up on the Etihad A380 in Business 😎
No problems! can't wait for the next one.
Wonderful video man! Liked!
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic trip report! Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up your great work! ✈️
Welcome to the team Matthias! Enjoy the content and see you around! 😉
Huge fan home boy! Keep them coming
Yes, more and more coming! Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation Si Hebla Espanol? I read somewhere your'e Spanish?
Thanks. Good to watch. I’ve never had enough time to visit the lounges in Doha…transit times too short.
Hi, I love Asian airlines! I also have a TH-cam channel and I hope that a next trip report will be on these companies! I always follow you. Nice video!
So nice to see such a epic and true full review of Malaysia Airlines and also nice to see them getting some honest limelight. Super friendly crew nice Thai food and I bet tasted that much better 35,000ft up The old classic old skool A330, 😎😍!! 🙌
I really liked them, and as I mentioned, just the food needs to be a “bit more Asian”. Then the experience would have been great. I’ll try to fly their A350 from KL in the near future and see if I can get a taste of the good stuff. Thanks for writing, have a nice one!!
@@TheLayoverAviation yes shame about the catering and I’m sure when you fly the Malaysia A350 the food will be so good. The 330 was sounding so good. Always a pleasure 😊✈️
Great flight review with cool details.👍
Thanks my friend!!
Yay a new video
🎉
👏
Love it bro
Hi Alex, great trip report. I was flying Malaysian several years ago, they were Ok, but not on par with SIA or Qatar/Emirates
Not at all on that level.. But not too long ago they used to be rated better. So I look forward to those days, time will tell.. But so far yes, far less but cheaper!
I loved this video and it really makes me want to fly Malaysia Airlines ! Your passion and enthusiasm is amazing. I loved the detail of the aircrafts ahown during the take off roll, the spacious separate Economy cabin and very spacious washroom ! Was the Amenity Kit a part of the standard service or was it a special gift 😊
Fantastic video! MH is really great. The PW4000 is a rare engine choice for A330s i guess. Which other airlines fly PW powered A330s? I also recently visited Kuala Lumpur but tried the other 2 airlines there (AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia). There is a good selection of plane models in terminal 1. Did you see them? With which airline did you return from there? What are we getting for the next video?
Spot on!!! First viewer
A330 Have The Seating I Preferred 2-4-2 In Economy Class.I Like The Livery.Great Trip Report
21:18 gives a hint for something 😁
I enjoyed my friend. Will share it to my fellow avgeeks. Thankyou ❤
Malaysia Airlines tiger! How lucky you are! I have the 1:500 scale model of it😅
I'm still waiting for my MH experience, but my mom flown on them back in 1990s with A300 and MD11 in Asia ,she said that MH wanted to send the broken A300 and the plane was unable to fly.. She said that it was not the great experience with them, but the MD11 was amazing 🙌
Thanks for sharing my friend! Hope you are doing well! See you soon!😊
You have?! I didn’t even notice I was on one at all as you can barely see anything at Doha 😠
Glad I saw the same plane when I arrived from Dubai.
Funny story that of your moms! My dad flew on the B747-400 from AMS in the 90’s and told me how they served “unlimited satay” (it’s very popular in the Netherlands). Since then I wanted to fly them.
I saw them going with satay up and down but to business class 😔
Hope you get to fly them soon and thanks for writing Maurice!
Nice video and gorgeous too.Great Job @Malaysia Airlines👌👌👌👍👍👍💪💪💪❤❤❤😘😘😘💗💗💗💞💞💞❣❣❣🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Yes it was highlighted to me, I made a small mistake there. Thanks!
4:31 the windows in DXB suck to film too, even some ramp-buses have their windows covered 🙂
But they have tiny areas that are uncovered, DOH doesn’t have at all.. Neither does Tel Aviv 😢
Its amazing how well you know the plane models, where they are from and they are going too. 👏👏👈
Awesome Beautiful Vlog beautiful day greeting from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thanks, greetings back from Dubai!
Love the Malaysia airlines livery.
26:02 they will be flying their latest 7th A350 (with a different cabin than the existing 6 A350s) to Doha from April 2024 onwards!
Looking forward to fly it!!
It’s so nice how you get the crew treats every time :)
Not all the time, yesterday on my flight from London to Doha on the QR A380 I didn’t have time to buy 😔
@@TheLayoverAviationIs video coming for the same?
@@TheLayoverAviation that’s fine ur still kind tho
great vid!
Thanks my friend!!
Great video
Thanks buddy!
have a good flight we folllow you every time thanks
Hey Alex, amazing vlog. It’s been a while since I watched your videos since I’ve been quite busy. Something I find quite strange is that Malaysian Airlines flies to Doha and not dubai and I could say the same for American . Also considering that emirates send 3 planes a day to KL
Great to review MAS in recent times. I support the New Menu ala Western or Middle Eastern. U can get Local Asain food upon arriving in K L. The new Menu puts us on par wt other airlines and suits the tastes of international travellers. 😊
I’m happy someone supports it, as I prefer them showing off something local and something western/Arabic.
I am Western myself but find it quite boring food 😂
That was a lot of Malaysian food at your hotel! Thanks for the video. Always nice to watch your travel experience. Do your feet swell during long flights?
In Asia I go nuts with the food!! Love it ❤️
Nice trip 😊 i am back from cape verde, you must visit cv its lovely. We hade a bumpy flight home, the girl next to me was in panik. But i was ok.
thank you for uploading the video 😅😊😂❤❤and what is your next flight video?
Always a pleasure! The next flight is on the Etihad A380 in Business Class from the new terminal ❤️
Third one to comment. I am sure I'll enjoy it..❤
early!!!
You always are!
😂😂❤Me thinking yoy are late haha.❤.Always the best way to put the biggest smile on me.😂❤.Your Trip Report❤.Yea get mad at my phone at times😂😂.
The catering is dependant on the ground services. Fly from where the airline originates from, and the catering will be different and more suited to the local cuisine. Happy travels.
Yes I am aware of that, but QR serves really good Asian food too.. It’s up to the airline representatives to decide what they serve! Not ground services. Thanks for watching!
Very professional this video I love your all products and this song 😍❤️😍❤️ many thanks 🙏 if possible another video in airport departing or arriving in kul all company your friend Mehdi from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Yessir
nice trip
Thanks for watching!
MH crew at Doha Airport is a rare crew siting at Hamad since QR uses the crew terminal. Engine would have been running until ground power was hooked up at KUL Airport. Your crew treats go a long way
I didn’t know they use the crew terminal. I know the same happens in Dubai where EK crew get transported underground, that’s why you’ll never see them!
Thanks for writing!
@@TheLayoverAviation pl watch Qatar airways secret crew terminal
Excellent as usual . Have u ever thought of flying the Vistara 787
Yes the Vistara B787 is planned!
@@TheLayoverAviation is it coming any soon
Lovely
thanks!
Malaysia Airlines has a very clean cabin,although the seats are quite old.
I’m glad your flight didn’t disappear off the radar 😂
12:36 you got the best avGEEK knowledge, upon seeing the white livery 777-300 I assumed it was the CX wet lease. How’d you know it was an ex- virgin. I remember geeking recently and googling what happened to VA’s ex 300ER’s but sadly no info
That IFE is the old one. They have upgraded to new ones, in some of the cabins
Looking forward to try those!
An online friend of mine said Malaysia Airlines is terrible. He said the food was terrible but this video shows Malaysia Airlines isn't as bad as it seems. I hope Etihad A320 economy is next 😅
Airliners can improve. It might have not been a good service once before, but there is constructive criticism and improvements. Strive to enhance the product and service, then the quality and reputation can improve.
@@CityandNatureEscapesso does that mean ryanair can improve?
Very nice relaxing report! Witch software du you use to create a TH-cam video? I also work with my iPad only but don’t have a good software :( is it Final Cut for iPad?
Hey there! I use one called “VN editor”. It’s not great but gets the job done.. I prefer using iPad, more convenient..
Thanks a lot. I will try next time. Thank you.@@TheLayoverAviation
HI ! What is the name of the application you use where it tells you the destination and the type of plane? and I thought you were in business class, but I found the economy class of MALESYA AIRLINES very nice but the important thing is that you travel well regardless of the airline
Nice.
Thanks!
ok cool!
19:33, Me too, I try to cut the chicken meat, but the plastic spoon and fork break easily, so I highly recommend you bring your own spoon and fork that is cutlery.
Many security check points won’t let you bring forks as it’s “dangerous”.. Silly, I know.. But yes, I always have a spoon and some straws with me! (for my son)
Oh really? I didn't know that cutlery fork is not allow in immigration. Okay straw is good.
No words
6:21-Pity there's no more the Batik inspired seat covers for the flight seats. I think it would have been a great reflection for Malaysia Airlines.
Un super-like porque estabas mirando anhqv😊
Me encanta! Gracias por el super-like!
thansk a lot
First one to comment ❤❤
You’re the winner!
Support Malaysia Airlines, Fly Malaysia Airlines.
I love them!
Malaysia airline beats Singapore airline all the time!
You think so?! They’re great but to beat SQ is hard!
Love from Pakistan ❤
Hope you visit Pakistan again someday 😊
QR is no longer flying to KUL and it is code sharing with MH?
26:53, The shuttle train is under renovation and I believe or think that it will be completed at the end of 2023 or next year.
I understood that but but expert in the field of aviation told me it has all to do with “under the table money” not being paid.
Oh really? Okay. Sorry, I didn't ask the airport staff about why the shuttle train is close under renovation when I was in Kuala Lumpur in mid July.
Missed KLIA 1 💔🥺
Curious how you know the destination of every passing aircraft 🙏
Malaysian airlines should renew their seats, like i mean they put new seats. The seats i see looks so old, except the aircraft in their fleet that is new or the aircraft that they already did renew the seats, and not just this airlines, many other airlines that have the same exact TV seats but different colors.
Is the Etihad A380 video come out next week ?
It’s the next one that will come out, it’s in the process. Half way done!
I really hope Qatar Airways improves their things. After COVID and especially after World Cup, they fell apart. I believe they should retrofit or upgrade their cabins on the older 777s and 787-8s and retire the very old ones like A330 soon enough. and now that the A380 hating CEO is gone, I do hope the new CEO does smth positive for the A380 they have so that it can fly longer into 2030s at least.
When i saw pord dickson i yelled THATS MAH HAUS THATS MAH HAUS
Excellent super in your Flight Breakfast 🍜🍜🍛🍛🍛🍲🍲🥗🥗🥗🍱🍱🍱
Alejandro!!!
Christian!
Do you usually edit your videos in ur iPad?
Always!
@@TheLayoverAviation Damn that’s cool,what editing application do you use in iPad?
Kelantan kite..(wau)..
Something new I learned 😂
They are better than their former partner Singapore these days. Singapore economy is terrible.
was there wifi on this route
Kikikikikikkik🎉 1:04
To which country are you flying to from where to where on which airline.
Etihad A380 to London!
How much did you pay to fly Malaysia airlines at time of your booking? I am curious and I want to know. Enjoy your vacation in Kuala Lumpur and try Nasi Lemak, Malaysian chicken rice, Naan (In Malay, it's roti canai) with sugar, Bak Kut Teh and Lor Mai Kai (sticky rice). The Malaysian food is good.
I think I paid around $450 US from Dubai one way. But the fares keep changing. Fares to KL from Dubai are low as there is a lot of demand and competition, you can find with some airlines as low as $200.
The food is the best!! Both in Singapore and Malaysia I go nuts! ❤️
Okay I see, thanks. How long your gonna stay in KL?
Not him calling Sepang the middle of no where 😂
Cabin crew be seated for landing..that was new
Is it a new PA there? Don’t fly them enough to know 😛
The wifi is now free for everyone. Yes, everyone.
Since when? this flight was less then a month ago 😔
@@TheLayoverAviation starting this month!
does malayasian airlines not have free wifi ?
What does SL mean in a3200sl?
sharklets!
Please fly on etihad with abu dahbI new terminal😊
That’s the next video!
Yay🎉
