Just released in its travel advisory that MH is taking the long route to Europe via Egypt airspace. For safety reasons, passengers can only have carry-on baggage until further notice. Check-in baggage will be delivered later as soon as situation permits .

This sounds extremely unreasonable , given that any passengers on long trips to Europe would undoubtedly need their luggage. It's too short notice for people to alter their holidays as all accommodations would have been pre booked.

MH flights to Europe have been arriving a couple of hours late in the past few days.

Why is this only happening to MH? All other airlines seems to be departing and arriving normally and does not seem to have implemented this check-in baggage restriction . SQ for example is taking a more northerly route while still avoiding Syrian airspace.

Well I have a Paris flight coming up with MH this Friday. No doubt I will be missing all my European connections and also without my baggage.

Situations in MH is getting ridiculous. I am gonna crazy soon. After months and months of schedule changes requiring multiple ticket reissues now I won't even get there on time and possibly without my baggage . Not happy !
