Thanks for all the kind words.

Let me just continue the rest of the photos/report before responding to the comments.

Nasi Lemak. A good choice! Yummy and nicely prepared.



Chicken Briyani Bukhara is a so-so with the rice being a bit dry and overcooked.



33 Rows of seats. All leather.



FireMen! Male cabin crew is something new for Firefly! Outfit nicely designed by Jendela KL.



Cabin crew was quite occupied throughout the flight and made 2 rounds of service with the second one selling merchandise. I was tempted to buy something but the 737-800 plane model is not yet available.

Approaching Kota Kinabalu.



Safely landed on a sunny day!



No water cannon as the flight was not the ‘official’ inaugural flight to Kota Kinabalu. Nevertheless my fellow aviation enthusiasts friends were at the passenger bridge waiting to take photos.



Despite having the first row seat, I was the last to leave the aircraft. No first flight is complete with a special crew group photo. I just love the batik motif scarves/collar on the ladies new uniform. The silky touch also add flavours to the uniform.



One last photo before I left the plane. Thank you.



With 3 flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu, Firefly is ready to seriously compete on this hot route with offerings that in my opinion is as good as premium airlines and the flexibility of ‘you get what you pay for’. Just like any other airlines, promo fares can be super cheap. I love the fact that Firefly flies from Main Terminal Building that allow easier access to ERL and other connecting airlines.
