TRIP REPORT | First Time on Malaysia A350! | Kuala Lumpur to London | Malaysia Airlines A350
Malaysia Airlines Trip Report flying from Kuala Lumpur to London Heathrow onboard one of the Malaysia Airlines Airbus A350 on a beautiful winter day.
An extremely comfortable 13h+ flight from Kuala Lumpur to London onboard the Malaysia Airlines A350. The flight was, surprisingly, nearly empty; for sure not more than 50 passengers. This allowed us to have 3 seats, which increased the comfort exponentially.
After a nice exploration of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as well as some planespotting, we boarded the Airbus A350 that would take us to London. After enjoying the most original safety msg I've ever seen, we took off from Kuala Lumpur towards the northwest. We initially climbed through lots of clouds and turbulence. These ones disappeared just in time to see a last glimpse of Indonesia, before entering the Gulf of Bengal.
We crossed the Gulf and finally reached India, where we entered over Madras. We made a right turn there and crossed the country, flying towards the Indian Ocean. We left India over Mumbai, after some amazing views of the city. We then crossed the Indian Ocean towards Pakistan.
We entered Pakistan west of Karachi and enjoyed some of the best views I've ever had of Hingol National Park and the desert area. We continued towards Iran and crossed it from south to north. The views were stunning, from the very south until reaching Tehran. From there we flew over Turkiye, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Belgium, and, finally, the United Kingdom and London, where we landed on time.
About the catering service... well, it was good, definitely not bad at all. But it was the most strange "breakfast" I ever had: fruit, lasagna, and red wine. What a combination to start the day! I guess there was some mistake on the website and they got a pre-ordered meal for me (which was the lasagna). Just after getting it, another cabin crew came offering the wine. I said... well, why not?
The second meal came around 4 hours before landing in London. In this case, they offered a more conventional one. 2 options: chicken or beef. I chose the second one. It was pretty ok. I would say Malaysia Airlines is positioned slightly behind Singapore Airlines in terms of Catering in economy class, and for sure behind the Gulf ones.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Malaysia Airlines? How was the experience? Which route did you fly? Have you ever flown on the A350? What do you think about Malaysia Airlines' service? Is it at Singapore Airlines level?
Many things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!

please kam air afghanistan my freinds dubai to kabul ❤❤❤
On behalf of all Malaysians, thank you for flying Malaysia Airlines. 🇲🇾 ❤
Glad that you've enjoyed the video! :))
Malaysia Arline still recovering from the two tragedy but it is good Arline good crew I will fly with them anytime !
so Hopefully they will recover completely. I really enjoyed this flight with them!
@OnBoardHD thank you for choosing Malaysia Airlines ❤😊❤
I love these beautiful A350-900s. Their technology, beauty and comfort (that last one depends more on the airline, tho) just amaze me.
I agree. The A350 is an amazing and supercomfortable plane! Hope you'll enjoy the Trip Report!
DUBAI TO SRI LANKA BY EMIRATES PLEASE @@OnBoardHD
I've flown 3 times with them. I found the flights most enjoyable. The onboard crew creates a conducive environment for wellbeing!Bless!
Youre so lucky to have only 70 passengers in total and the row to yourself. The same flight (KUL-LHR) I took in december few days before Christmas was 95% full and no empty seats nearby. Anyway, really peaceful and nice trip report. I love how you show us the view outside, very unique.
Yeah, I know I was very lucky... having 3 seat for me allowed me to record much better :)
i have once fly with MAS from Sydney to KL with only few passengers onboard, around 20-30 people in total.. i used to sleep on 4 seats centre flying with B747 long time ago..
Im from Malaysia, thank you for using our beloved Malaysia Airlines😊 i really like your review on how you actually explained every single thing below you not only review the aircraft❤
It was a great flight! Glad you enjoyed the trip report! :)
a350 is probably the best on the market atm it's so quiet nice having no kids on board great trip report happy flights
I think Kuala Lumpur Airport and Malaysia Airlines both look excellent !
Excellent trip report, again. I like the fact that you really focus on nature and views. Makes it a lot more interesting than other aviation youtubers. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much mate! Glad that you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback! :)
I agree with those comments, although you could have a “point score” at the end of each flight .
Enjoyable report. Wondering why do you place it slightly below SIA
Again a very nice report of the trip, I enjoyed it, beautiful ground images, spacious interior of the cabin of the A350, good food and lots of drinks during the trip.... well done Malysia airways.
Thanks so much, Eric! Glad that you've enjoyed this one! :)
the name is Malaysia Airlines, Malayan Airways was during WWii I believe
hidup Malaysia Airlines!!!❤👍👍👍
MALAYSIA AIRLINES IS THE BEST !!!
Not the best in my opinion, but fpr sure a great one! :)
😂😂 So Empty
YEP 😊
They are working towards a brand new Business Class configuration once their new A330neos comes to service between 2024 and 2026. This would effectively replace all their existing A330ceos. They ordered 26 of them. The intention is to bring Malaysia Airlines back to the days when they had the best inflight service in the world in the 90s. The airline has been profitable the last two years, even during the pandemic, making it one of the few profitable airlines in the world today.
@@cleanenergyinside1921 great to know! ✈️✈️
I REALLY like Malaysia Airlines have flown with them quite a few times Cabin crew ALWAYS happy to help you n ALWAYS GOOD FOOD n DRINK 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad that you've enjoyed this tirp report! It was a great experience with them on this flight :))
watching your videos is not only about aviation. its kind of a geography leeson too which i enjoy much. Thank you. Side note - Never heard such a clear announcement from a Captain before.
Thanks so much! Glad you like them! :))
Exactly!! Aviation inspired me to learn geography and recognize every country, flag in the world just by seeing it.
i love the stunning view of the mountain ranges !
Thanks so much!! The views on this flight were really amazing! :)
This video make me feel like flying to london too..
23:50 we called that " kuih seri muka pandan " ( Pandan Seri Muka Cake ) 😂 and thanks for the great review for MAS.. please come again to Malaysia in the future 😃
Thanks for the info! :)
As a Malaysian, i love my country, and malaysia Airlines.
Flown this route a number of times on Malaysian, always enjoyed the flight. Food is so much better than what was offered on BA when they operated LHR to KUL and the A 350 I though was better thab the 787 operated by BA. The cabin crews have also been great on Malaysian, none existant on BA. I suspect the cake was Pandan flavour.
I don't know how BA food is on the route, but MH one was really good. As I say on the video, I think I would put it just behing the SQ one. Glad that you've enjoyed the video :)
BA suck
You’re always safe on BA. On MH, on the other hand… I also seem to remember more food than this MH on all the BA flights I’ve done. Even AC serves more food than MH!
@@sva60_cyyz59 Always safe on BA, I think not. They’ve had their fatalities too in the past. Well the food was very poor, Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur and very poor Kuala Lumpur to Heathrow. The cabin crew were miserable, disappeared after first meal, didn’t come round with drinks through the flight. Didn’t clean the toilets throughout the flight. In fact food on every BA flight I have taken recently has been poor. If you want to fly BA, you’re welcome to, not for m3 though thanks.
@@sva60_cyyz59 Bro woke up feeling patriotic
They look like a great airline to fly
It was an amazing and comfortable flight :)
Beautiful flight! Love the personal attention with only 70 passengers. 😊Food looked good especially that bright green & yellow cake square 😮 Amazing looking Kuala Lumpur airport. Airports are always so different but I love them all 😊 Great trip👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸✈️
The cake called “Pandan Layer Cake”. Locally Malaysian cake.. green colour comes frm screwpine leaves (pandan leaves) and layered with soft sponge cake.
@@Acerixx2003 Thanks for the information. It looked absolutely delicious & beautiful. 🙋🏼♀️
THanks so much mate :) I didn't know either the name of the cake... but it was pretty good. I always like trying these typical meals from other places. Glad that you've enjoyed this one!
I flew with MH A380 First Class from KL to London 10 years ago, and to date it was the best flight I've ever taken. Miss the A380 ...
I would love to have flown on MH A380!!
Me too. KUL - LHR A380 a few times 5 yrs ago. It was awesome
Amazing how you've captured those hidden gems from South East Asia, passing through South Asia, Middle East all the way to Europe. Great camerawork considering how far you were from the actual location. It felt like a mini tour vlog from the sky! 👌🏼
Thanks so much!! Glad that you liked it and thanks for the feedback! :))
I recall seeing years a Malaysia Airlines advertisement near Malaysia House in Trafalgar Square touting their 744 service from KL to London. I thought, "what an exotic routing." So, thank you for this👍.
I would love to fly on their A380 or B747... but it's definitely no longer possible. Glad that you've liked this Trip Report!
Stunning aerial shots, Lucas! Impressive that the skies were clear along most of the route.
Thanks so much! The views on this particular flight were really amazing! Glad you enjoyed it :))
Great trip report. Thank you for flying Malaysia Airlines, hope you enjoy our Malaysian Hospitality :)
Thanks! It was a very nice experience! Looking forward to repeat! :))
Excellent video!! Very clear video and consistently soothing audio; great sights of different cities and places from the air, too. Great job!!
Thanks so much for the nice feedback :))
Welcome back .. and absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting footage and the camera work looks super awesome super amazing and you nailed it again, as always lovely captured travel trip reports and your beautiful sharing adventure documentary as always appreciated .. have a wonderful blessing weekend and stay safe my friend .. looking forward to next week's adventure .. thanks
Thanks so much mate :) This one was a great flight. Loved all the views! Have a nice weekend!
the unknown flavour cake is pandan layer cake . pandan (asian vanilla ) full of coconut and grass aroma , is very common in south east asia cuisine , for sweet or savoury dishes.
Thanks for the info :))
Great trip report! Glad you had a good trip onboard Malaysia Airlines ❤ shocked the flight was so empty though, it's usually a full flight to and from LHR
Thanks so much! I was it was just because I took the flight on the weeks with less demand of the year....
As A Malaysian, Malaysia Airlines Always The Best
Glad that you've enjoyed the video! :))
Beautiful scenic view
This was an Amazone trip! Luckily someone is awake to film all beautifull surroundings 😀.
Haha Thanks! glad that you enjoyed this short flight ;P
What a great device you record with. Sharp and vivid colour of every scenery throughout the journey. Amazing works.
Thanks so much! If you want more info about the camera, you have it on the video description :)
I am quite impressed of the product they provided for that flight in Eco - Looks like they took good care of you.
I really enjoye the flight! glad that you liekd the video :))

Great video like always, the A350 is such an awesome aircraft. Also, there's nothing wrong with 10am wine, if anything, it needs to happen more often. :D
Thanks so much, mate!! REally glad that you liked it so much! :) Have a great weekend!
Our Malaysia Airlines flights last year were so much better than our Qatar Airways experience
Great job you know how to do your homework l loved how you knew the names of the cities and landscapes but l most of all the great service the crew gave you its a great airline thank you for another wonderful trip report saludos jerry
Glad that you've enjoyed this one! It wasn't easy to edit for the huge ammount of new and different places... but I think it was worth it! :))

@@OnBoardHD Thank you for your kind reaction Lucas 😘 Xx...........
Such a beautiful view from the aircraft window
Thanks so much, Jeff :) Glad that you've enjoyed the Trip Report!
I like MH and also SQ...... Been to London in 2018 with this MH's A350.........the best part is.....they have live camera like CCTV in the sky/foods are more deli compared to SQ's A380 (to Zurich).......
Beautiful video. Thank you for flying with MH.
Yet another great video do you get to sightsee these beautiful countries 👏
Thanks so much, Pauline! :))
beautfulview and the food service wow,good job
Thanks! Glad that you've liked it! :))
Thank you for the interesting flight report.😀
Thanks to you for your support! :)
Thanks for choosing Malaysia airlines
Stumbled upon your clip for the first… very precise and good view that you shared out of the window during the entire flight.. really awesome and loved the scenic views and info about the places that the plane flew past. Good job and thank you. Your new subscriber and looking forward to more destinations with various airlines. Cheers
Ooooh forgot to mention the language used for inflight announcement was Bahasa Malaysia (BM) or better known as Bahasa Melayu. So you might want to correct it as you have indicated as Malayan… which is incorrect. Thank you
Thanks so much!! I just got now the notification of your comment... 2 weeks after it... Really glad that you found it so interesting!! :)
i like it nice flight well done
great report as usual!! thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much mate!
Nice through yr videos I am seeing all the airports and airlines.thanks
Thanks!! Glad that you enjoy them so much!
A350 has a very nice design and brilliant video and love it when you state the location to tell viewers which place is which. Nice video overall.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :))
For some reason , i love the fact you showed and provide some info about the view underneath. Hope i'll be flying with A350 soon!
Thanks so much! Wish you a great flight!! :))
I'm really excited to see the content of the A350😁
Glad that you've enjoyed this one :))
Que bonito el a350!!! Magnífico vuelo
Muchas gracias!! Feliz semana! :)))
Nice report
The airport is still beautiful, despite its almost 30 years of age. Designed for the future!
Wow! Just checked and it's 25 years old! Very nice preserved. :)
Just amazing...felt like i was on the flight...
Thanks so much! :)
Love your trip report sir ! Thanks for flying with our flag carrier, hope to see you fly again in the next future.
Thanks! It was a pleasure! Looking forward to the next chance to do it! :)
I loved the way you whistled at the end of the video haha. Nice video as always bro!
haha Not many realised, because not many stay exactly till the end :D Thanks :)
Probably the only voice (if you can count as one) we heard from him 😅
great video report and nice ground shots.. i used to fly for MAS A330 20 years ago.. hehe time flies..

Very knowledgeable video.. 😍Loveeeee itttt!
Thanks so much! :))
Awesome! Greetings from Helsinki Finland
Wonderful trip, welcome to malaysia thanks for choosing Malaysia Airlines ✈️
Thanks :))
What an interesting westward day long-haul flight. Well-crafted and versatile report. Good airline with modern aircraft and good service. I was in Malaysia before the pandemic and visited Borneo and the peninsula on a tour. Beautiful country with friendly people. However, we flew on A380 Singapore Airlines. Thank you for sharing the flight experiences.😁
It didn't start the best way with all the clouds over Malaysia and Indonesia... and also over India... but everything became amazing over Pakistan and Iran. Overflying those places is always amazing. I really enjoyed recording and editing this video. Glad that you've enjoyed it, Felix! :)
Sinceramente me ha encantado el vídeo y lo he disfrutado un montón, parece increíble la cantidad de contrastes que se ven desde el avión por los sitios que has pasado, Malasia, India, Pakistan. Iran etc es un mundo todavía por descubrir por lo menos para mi y espero algún día poder hacerlo. Tengo un viaje planeado al sureste Asiático para la primavera y que espero poder disfrutar. Lucas gracias por mostrarnos estos vídeos tan bonitos y así conocer un poquito mas nuestro mundo . Un abrazo y que pases un buen fin de semana.
Muchas gracias, Rafa! Un placer que te haya gustado! La verdad es que el trabajo en este vídeo fue bastante mayor a lo habitual por lo nuevo y variado de los sitios por los que pasamos, pero la verdad creo que ha merecido la pena. Estoy muy contento con el resultado :) Que disfrutes de tu viaje! Seguro que será genial!!
Malaysia Truly Asia.
It was a very nice flight.
omg..the view..stunning🤩I always took a night flight to LHR. perhaps next trip change to day flight.
If you're willing to resist the temptation to sleep... do it! The views are amazing :)
One of your best videos! Mainly because of the amazing views throughout this 16-hour flight From the huge tropical storm clouds over Malaysia, the Gulf of Bengal & all the islands in it, the mountains & deserts of Iran and Pakistan, to the snowed scenery of central Europe, it was a very photogenic video and flight. I think the best views by far were the arid landscapes in Iran and Pakistan. You've overflown this part of the world quite a bit recently, and it's always amazing to see. It reminds me of the Western US, but even more arid and "dusty". I'd love to see it in person someday, be it from above or below.
14 hours, not 16
@@EGO0808 Yes, true. My bad. I don't know where I got that number from lol
You are the best person to film planes 😊
Thanks so much! That's very kind :))
Informative , weldone
Wow! I think with 14 hours it's one of the longest flights in the world. I like the Kuala Lumpur airport as well as the outside facade of Heathrow. I don't know how many times MH flies to London, but the flight must be subsidized with so many empty seats. But great for the travelers, and the service seems great.
Mmm Not that much. I think there are quite a lot of flights of this lenght to be honest. When we talk about 16h+ then we are reaching the longest ones :) I think it was so empty just because I traveled on a day wiht super low demand, a few weeks before xmas. Have a great week!
It's usually empty on daytime flights... However it's almost full during nighttime
MH flies twice a day to LHR from KUL
@@nawfas_mg2019 There are 7 direct ( all A380 ? ) flights 3 different airlines from Singapore Changi Airport to London . Only MAS 2 KLIA -Heathrow and yet so empty . It just shows this route is of such low demand.
MAS is a dayflight to Europe from KLIA. The competition is stiff, often for better prices and mostly nightflights, which shortens the flight considerably, if you can sleep. And therefore less jetlag issues. MAS is lagging behind on intercontinental to Europe. Only 1 destination (outside the EU Schengen zone also, highly inconvenient...)
Ma shaa Allah.. May safe journey for you...
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
i really love your content 🙌🤍 keep up the great work 🎉
Thanks so much! :)
Fantastic video! The pictures you got were brilliant. I flew KL to LHR on a Malaysian 747 a few years ago but was in an aisle seat so didn’t get the views 😢
Thanks so much! I would love to have flown on the Malaysia B747 or A380... sad that I've arrived too late...
Excellent journey clip
THanks so much! :)
Selamat datang ke Malaysia Airlines! Excellent carrier! Lots of lovely memories...
Glad that ypu've enjoyed the Trip Report! :))
@@OnBoardHD Among the various MH aircrafts flown, I have a soft spot for the RB211- powered 747-236 ... What a gorgeous beast that was... The interior had beautiful light blue and turquoise tones...lovely
very good trips report and geography details
Thanks !
Malaysian hospitality love it
It was very nice !
I love MALAYSIA AIRLINES!!
A very nice airline that I'm loooking forward to fly on again ;)
Great video, great shots of the land below. Such beauty and variety throughout this whole flight. BTW, it is Bay of Bengal, not Gulf of Bengal.
Beautiful video and I believe the green cake is a Pandan Cream Cake 😊
Yeah, others told me. I didn't have any clue. Thanks for the info :)
Me encantan los vuelos largos!! 🙌
Siempre resultan interesantes :)

Thanks so much!! Have a great week, Richard! :)
Brilliant flight video. Loved your choice of Movie, its so funny. I dont like the colour scheme, purple and pink, the food didn't look too appetizing either but overall a very nice smooth flight with lots of space. Thank you.
The A350 is one of my favourite planes!
It's a really comfortable one for long-haul!
