Dogged by the stigma of two very unfortunate incidents, Malaysia Airlines has been struggling to rebuild its brand and churn a profit. As a result, tough new cost cutting measures were put into place, with unprofitable long haul routes and unnecessary ancillary services being cut. As a result, Malaysia Airlines currently has just one remaining flight route that has a proper first class, London to Kuala Lumpur on the A380.
With the AA devaluation imminent, I decided it was now or never to experience this rather exotic flight, and ended up splurging 70,000 miles + $85 for a one way first class ticket from Geneva to Manila.
