The Messy Water

Fire Fly

Me and Miho took our virgin Firefly to Langkawi recently to make comparisons between the two big time players in budget airlines industry of Malaysia (Air Asia). In term of flight fare, the two companies were not much difference. Since we have never been on a Fokker Jet before, we would like to get a different flying experience. Many would think Fokker, which is powered by the properller engines, is less safer than those Boeing or Airbus fleets, which are mostly used by Airasia to serviced their routes. Actually it is a wrong perception... The safety level of Fokker Jet is not much different. Guys, here are my most valuable reviews:

The Pros

1. Firefly operates at Subang Airport, which is only used by few airline companies. The airport has only around 20 take-offs and landings per day, it is less crowded.

2. Compared to LCCT, Subang Airport is nearer to KL town, you save traveling time to the airport.

3. The Fokker plane used by Firefly is small, it can only accomodate 50 passengers, boarding and unboarding take lesser time.

4. The seating is organized during check-in, no need to rush to get the best seat during boarding.

The Cons

1. Since Fokker is a small private jet, it has lower capability in handling turbulance, the flight experience is more bumpy.

2. The space is limited, the stewardess butt will always brush on your shoulder when they walk pass you. (For me is one of the cons)
