RE: Malaysian Airlines - horrible travel experience

Dear Sir/Madam, I have had such a horrible experience with Malaysia irlines that it is the worst experience amongst all the airlines I have ever boarded. After opening a blanket pouch and unfolding the blanket, I found that the blanket was soaked in Vomit (Puke). To make it worse when I called a steward for some answer to what had happened, he said he is going to call someone and for half hour nobody turned up. After half hour when I called in again for help, an airhostess came and addressed my concern.

I asked for a sheet of paper and pen to write my complaint and what I get is a paper napkin to write the letter on. And to make it worse when the in charge came, he apologized and said that the blanket bag was packed in India. I am sorry but to put blame on others, especially a country is very wrong. How would you feel if somebody said that about Malaysia?

To make it again worse on the next flight my wife and me were not served dinner for about 45 minutes and then suddenly the steward came up with ice cream. And after telling him that we haven't had our dinner yet, he went and brought us dinner and apologized. I said that was fine as flying Malaysia airlines was my worst flying experience and, I was going to write a complaint about it, what I got from that steward in return was a funny look, and these words "its fine sir, you can do that", as it is taken for granted that this is the attitude expected by me from the staff and they don't fear nobody. I don’t think that staff of Malaysia airlines even knows the ‘abc’ of courtesy, respect and customer service. I am really sorry but I am writing this letter to entities associated to Malaysia airlines and the media because I want to make you and others aware that Malaysia Airlines needs to change the customer service and the attitude of their staff, if they want to survive in this market.

Regretfully, Vivek Dewan.

Re: Malaysian Airlines

when i went to check in today on 10th july 2008 at heathrow airport, the attendant told me my name wasn't on the list. (but i have already booked through MAS airline directly on the telephone and i got a reference quote). then i went to the ticket desk and enquire this. the answer i got was: your name was not on the list, therefore you're not booked and have to be on the waiting list.

i was thinking how could it be on the waiting list since i booked 3 weeks in advance... if i have know that i have to be on the waiting list, i would have changed the date and make it a confirmed ticket, not a waiting list ticket.

best of all, i was sent off without given any reason why my name is not on the list since i have actually booked it. They didn't even attempt to track my reference number.

I asked so is that reference number invalid or wat? he answered: No.... (so it has to be valid, why dun track it)

the situation was that they are having more than 10 person being overbooked and offering people 600 euro voucher for people to voluntary change their date of flight or so.

so they have put me first on the waiting list ahead of the others since i arrived early...

then i asked them what if there's no seats left for me to board?

he then replied: don't worry, there's still chances at the moment, everything is still bright.

i then said: what if there's no seat, because i have no where to go and stay?

he replied: dun think so negative. there's still many chances.

ok, good counter is closed, so i went forward and asked how's my status. he said, i'm sorry, the last seat has been taken by that person.

i quickly asked worrying my situation: so what to i do now?

one replied: i dunno, i have a flight to catch now....

the manager, didn't even took a glance at me, i said 'excuse me', he ran off like dashing for the 100m world record.

oh well, denying me on-board, denying me refreshment, denying me accomodation writing this comment, while my parents are still worrying whether we will ever make home.

gonna spend my whole night at terminal 3 with no shops open and annoyed by the illegal taxis driver.

well done malaysia airline!! you suck!!

This is Phuc Pham From Vietnam ( Vietnampathfinder Travel Company) and i want to complaint about the dispromised and cheated services from the Amar Travel Land Tours in Malaysia.

A few months ago, Mr Ishak from Amar travel land tours (website: www.amartravelandtours.com ) Came to our office in Hanoi to advertise for their services in Malaysia and after his visits, I decided to do our first booking with him and his company and thing was happened as you will see my email to his boss, Mr. Amardip Singh,

Dear Mr. Amardip Singh,

I am writing you and want to tell you that I am so disappointed with your service,

We had booked 3 single rooms for our 3 VIP clients at the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore and also had made payment by wire transfer on Friday 28th Aug and today is Monday 31st Aug when our clients had checked directly to the hotel at contact person:

Christeen Woon

Reservation Sales Executive

THE FULLERTON HOTEL SINGAPORE

1 Fullerton Square

Singapore 049178

Tel : (65) 6877 8074

Fax : (65) 6535 8088

Email : reservations@fullertonhotel.com

Website : www.fullertonhotel.com

But there is not any name or booking for our 3clients: Mr Serge Moulene, Mr Michel Oliveres and Mr Laurent Pravin,

I also called directly to the hotel this morning at 11.00 am and Ms Christeen Woon was reconfirmed to me that, no booking room for these 3people from Amar travel or from any travel agent in Singapore,..

You also can see some email that communicated between us and what I am worry now is I dont have any further information about this company and their business since they have not pay refund of 1818 USD for us yet (i paid them on 28 Aug and until today 21 Sept, already 1 month but still not receive refund from them yet? or have not heard any reply from his boss yet),

We are also a full-licensed international tour operator and a member of Vietnam travel association: http://www.vietnampathfinder.com

I would wonder to know that, is your company also apply the bond for Travel Company who doing inbound tourism? and want to check if the Amar Travel Company is a legal company? Do they have bond yet? and i don't really know who can be able to provide me contact number or email of Malaysia tourism administration to resolve this problem

I would be very appreciated for any help and thanks very much in advance,

Phuc Pham (Mr)

I flight with Malaysia from Taipei, Taiwan to Los Angeles, Two hours before the departure from Taipei We were informed that the flight was canceled due to mechanical problems, and there were no space in other flights, the flight was rescheduled for the next day, I spent in the airport around three hours trying to get an answer or help about a connection flight that I had from LAX to Panama city to see my family, but at the end Malaysia Airlines didn't give me any answer and they treat me really bad. The next day an hour before the departure from Taipei, they told us that they would be responsible for any missed connections flights, that they would help us pay those expenses, but we could only do this arrangement through Malaysia airlines counter in LAX airport, in Taiwan they just gave us a letter explaining the delay reason, which I showed in LAX in order to get help from Malaysia Airlines LAX. In LAX, I went to the counter but once again they said they will not be responsible and they just can give me another letter which I can to attached to a complain letter and send both (complain letter and the letter they gave me) to an address that they provided me of an office in LAX, I wrote the complain letter and I sent it, but didn't receive any answer, then I called to the LAX offices and they ask me to send the letters to the offices in Taipei, I send the letter again, but no answer, I decided call the office in Taipei, and once again they told me to submit the letter to LAX, after I explain all over again my situation they gave me an email, I sent the letter to the email but was a waste of time, I wrote them emails and call them, but I didn't receive any answer so I gave up. Six months later 2 classmates that were in the same flight with me, inform me that they received a compensation money, they gave me the email of the person who they contact with, and I wrote and email but she wrote me "sorry but Malaysian airlines have goodwill for some passengers" . I feel really humiliated by that company.
