Thanks for that comment fliar, but from what I understand, if there is a group of muslim ladies in black headscarf (tudung) covering their entire face, it's usually almost always the wives of the man accompanying them? There were at least 3 groups of them on this flights, granted there are other one-wife families as well. Big big impression, the tudung of such ladies are usually 'branded' ones, can't forget the one with VOGUE written all over one of them.
