Malindo airline review: Brisbane to Denpasar RETURN.
Malindo airline review: BNE to DPS return.
Howdy steemers,
Today I share with you my experience flying with Malindo airlines from Brisbane, Australia to Denpasar, Indonesia. This was a return flight and cost $340 AUD.
I was lucky enough to catch this sunrise on the return flight
As the flight was extremely cheap I didn't have high expectations of the airline.
The online check in was completely pointless and saved zero time at the airport and the departure time was delayed 30 mins. I was notified well ahead of time via email of the delay and it was such a small amount of time it was a non-issue.
The flight over consisted of no entertainment and no option to purchase any.
- There was no alcohol available for purchase.
- Blankets were available only at an extra charge.
- Coffee was only available to those flying Buisiness class.
For me personally the leg room was enough, having said that I am not a big person.
- The seats seemed to recline a little extra than normal, a pleasant surprise.
The food was edible but far from good, I didn't eat on the return flight but the meals looked slightly better.
Overall the flight was smooth and I only arrived 40mins later than expected. If there had of been in-flight entertainment I would have been extremely happy with the service.
Strangely enough the return flight had entertainment and a fairly good variety of options available.
- This time the seats didn't recline at all if you sat from the engines backwards.
- Still no sign of alcohol or coffee.
- A couple of cups of water were provided.
- The flight was only 10mins behind schedule and landed in Brisbane 20mins later than expected (not too bad.)
So, would I fly with them again?
Yes, if the flights were cheap I would. Just remember to pick seats in front of the engines so they recline and bring some form of entertainment with you.
Do I recommend using the airline?
Yes, but be prepared to be completely sober and bored.... To me the financial saving makes up for these flaws.
Overall I score the airline a 5/10 the non reclining chairs and lack of entertainment really took away points.
If they fixed these issues and served alcohol and coffee they would jump up to a 7 or 8/10 in my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by steemers!
If you have any questions feel free to comment.
Peaceful Travels,
Sam.
