Hi barryc99,
in OP case..it is a fly thru..so no charging again.
Actually MAHB has a role...they are bloody sitting on their fat arxx..on self denial..apron bay retain water, undulating taxiway..say no..doing some testing..all codswallop.
Aerobridge take longer than usual time to "kiss" plane.. the guy having a longer than usual "minum" time or smoke..they have this typical operating mentality.
Built a big airport...so proud of it..and only when rakyat and travelers start to "scream" use the buggy and to build more travelator ...see later,with maintenance mentality..buggy sure "harap maaf, rosak". Final certification also still pending,after how many months,and of course coupled with the "completing soon", on the way mentality..now to build extra travelator,which should be in the plan in the first place.
They are, initially in their operation, a P-P carrier..though with their introduction of fly thru..they have revise their T&C to take into account.
As a Malaysian you should be proud of AirAsia..there are other worst LCCs..even Tiger Air is no better,and speak of Ryan Air..without Air Asia, MAHB can also be privatised. You look at the FID screens..it is all AK/D7/QZ./FD/PQ flight numbers.
The advent of LCCs and more so AirAsia...I see many of our friends from Down Under able to come to Malaysia (not once a year or three years later,some are doing like 2/3 times year,and so knowledgeable of KL and Malaysia (some of which I speak of can give a pat on their back- they are frequent contributor on TA KL/Malaysia forum-all worth a TA nomination for DE status),and if not mistaken if from MEL can go to one of their fav destination- Bali- direct (with XT803)..and many Malaysians are not living "katak dibawah tempurung".
We must be proud of our Malaysian entrepreneur which bring Malaysia to almost everyone traveling destination.
