At least, in my observation, I saw a significant improvement in food quality recently.
Inflight catering ex-KL is a ....ing joke. Does not even qualify to be called food.
There is so much wrong with this airline.....
- a330 IFE screens turn on after every 2minute interval announcement, lighting up the entire cabin until you OFF the screen.
- Unnecessary spraying on BOTH inbound and outbound sectors to Mysia
- Lounges which are branded by other companies
- Not honouring Oneworld commitments by giving express pass to Sapphire members (only giving to Enrich Gold, which is against OW rules)
- Constant fare errors which result in deeply discounted tickets (bad for airline - great for me!)
- Always run out of satay on a330 biz class
- Rarely any policing of priority boarding
- I've been kicked out of bassinet seats with an infant, by ground staff who put their friends in bulkheads
- De-premifying the airline (selling pyjamas onboard, selling lounge access, selling upgrades to biz suites in cash for less than the enrich miles equivalent (thus devaluing the cimb enrich card)
....... the list goes on...this airline is on a race to the bottom
Only reason I fly them is they're cheap as chips and always on sale. Probably explains why they don't make a profit.
