Wootz! Its my first time onboard Malindo Air

Malindo Air officially arrived in Kuching, Sarawak touching down on April 4^th 2013 at 1315 hrs. 

Yes! I was on that plane as one of the blogger on Malindo Air media familiarization trip to Kuching, Sarawak. We departed at 1125 hrs from KLIA main terminal building on Malindo Air Flight OD 1608.

I am sure most of you are pretty new to Malindo Air. Well, this is my first time on boarding Malindo Air also. Malindo Air is flying on Boeing 737-900ER. I find that the seat is leather seat is comfortable and has more the leg room. Plus the In-Flight Entertainment control panel is touch screen, so cool. Light refreshments will be served on board too.

Malindo Air In-Flight Entertainment so far has 5 languages, which are English, Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Japanese and Hindi. You can choose from Entertainment, Kids Zone or About Us (Malindo Air). Under entertainment there are Movie (new release, blockbuster, Indonesian, Asian and Classic); TV Show, Sports, Music (top 40, new release, jazz, easy listening) and games. 

By the way, do remember to bring your own headphone, if not you have to purchase it from the stewardess is RM5 per headphone.
