MH611 Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Singapore Changi
Malaysia Airlines, Boeing 737-800, Seat 7F, Economy Class
185 miles flown, 0TP Earned, 0 Avios Earned (Tickets not in qualifying fares).
I headed down the jetway, and was welcomed aboard. As usual, I turned right and filed past the four rows of business class seats, and onto economy class.
Business Class.
Economy Class.
If you want a full tour of the seat, head to my previous review of Malaysia Airlines – suffice to say the same product as I had before – with a seat back screen, power at seat and IFE.
Things that British Airways can’t be bothered to install in their birds.
IFE System and USB power sockets
Legroom – a lot more passable in row 7 than row 10.
It goes without saying that Boeing Sky Interior is fitted on these planes.
Yada yada yada air vents that look like propellers. Check the previous segments 😉
Boarding was completed swiftly, with push-back occurring in good time. And at that point, the safety video played.
Malindo Boeing 737-900 awaiting push-back…
And off it goes!
As our plane pushed back, I checked the safety card. Because – you’ll never know when you’ll need it
Safety first.
With that, our plane pushed back and begun a grand tour of KLIA
Biman Bangladesh Boeing 777-200ER.
Maylasia Airlines Airbus A330-300
These will become a rare sight in Malaysia Airlines livery soon when the A380s are transferred to the proposed Hajj operation.
Malindo Boeing 737 in a hybrid livery (it looks a bit like Batik Air), and an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER.
Soon, our 737-800 lined up on the taxiway as we waited for other traffic to take off.
Shenzhen Airlines Boeing 737-800

After a short wait, our plane turned to the runway, and MH611 barrelled down the runway.
Climbing out
The cabin curtains were drawn, and soon it was time for service to commence.
No more gazing into the premium seats!
Service began with an initial offering of Peanuts and Orange Juice.
I asked for water too (which was happily offered… and a second packet of peanuts).
Hey – never argue over free snacks (they made a nice snack between Stockholm and Heathrow…).
Meanwhile, I looked out at the views below as I nibbled on nuts.
Maersk Line container ship
Gotta love a good winglet. Especially those airlines who can be bothered to paint their winglets.
Whilst the seat pitch was passable for me… for those using larger laptops, it was more… challenging.
8/10 for effort… 6/10 for style… 0/10 for practicality (although I would be guilty as anyone for doing this on a plane – although a 12″ laptop works a lot better for this purpose.
Meanwhile outside, nature and the outside world was unfurling its wonders
The plane begun manoeuvring as it passed Singapore, before turning back for the island nation
Who else is concerned the plane is larger than the island?
Soon the plane lined up for Singapore Changi. The cabin was cleared down and prepared for landing.
With a bump, MH611 landed at Singapore Changi Airport – ending this one hour flight. Not that I was shooting with the phone and the DSLR at all..
Scoot Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Tiger Air A320 and Singapore Airlines Airbus A350
MH611 taxied around, passing different planes on the way as it hunted for a gate at Changi.
Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 having some engine work done…
And on that side too
Eventually, MH611 found a gate and parked up.
Thank you Malaysia Airlines.
Unlike the previous segment, everyone remained seated until the seatbelt sign was extinguished. Which was nice to see.
I thanked the crew and headed off the plane, and back to the welcoming carpeted jetways of Singapore Changi.
Thank you!
Back into carpet land.
Overall: Again, a well delivered and executed short haul service. Whilst one could say “You don’t need a snack and drink on a sub one hour flight”, the fact the airline can still offer this, whilst maintaining friendliness as well as offering a superior in-flight product, I’ll keep an eye on Malaysia Airlines in the future if my travels call for me to go towards destinations in Malaysia… and beyond.
Next: Heading back into Central Singapore and exploring with a tweep.
