Hope you guys enjoy this flight review! Malay subtitles are also available :)

First person to make a trip report on their new 737 max!

Congrats on MH receiving their first B737MAX! :) Honestly not a fan of them removing IFE screens from the seats though

Neither am I, but you know what, their IFE that you can access on your device isn’t so bad. It’s kinda cool. But they’re definitely cutting cost with this one and it’s a shame.

I also do not like that but when you look at travelers nowadays, most of them are so attached to their personal devices. So I believe MH has made the right decision.

I actually don’t quite understand all the complaints about no IFEs for a 2-3 hour flight. In other regions, there’s none and all you get is perhaps a bottle of water and a piece of chocolate. Here you get a full warm meal, and you still get access to entertainment albeit on your own devices that we still have anyways. More importantly is that Malaysia Airlines keep their planes on time, be safe and always have professionalism in their passenger engagements. I think their banking on sustainability is the right way to go in the longer term.

nice vid, miss my hometown

Beautiful window view footage and the food looked delicious! It would have been nice to hear about changes in cabin pressure etc if you felt any. This is one of the improvements in the new aircraft I understand.

Good report The aircraft looked very good and as always M/A food is good really like the airline 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The livery looks great on the 737max!!

1:47 - that's actually the NEW retrojet, not the old one on 9M-MXA, which is now repainted into the Negaraku livery. I prefer the new one because it's a more accurate representation of MH's 1970s livery. Also, the LEAP engine sounds quieter compared to the CFM56 that I'm used to.

I had a chance to fly onboard in Batik Air Malaysia B737-8 a couple of weeks ago from KUL to DPS. And I'd tell ya, the B737-8 is a super terrific plane, although as an av geek with extensive knowledge of what happened to the MAX a couple of years ago, I was terrified a bit when it was doing a take off roll; like I was glued to my desk knowing the MCAS incident could happened at any moment, while my wife that sits beside me just doing on her business unknowingly haha. But I agree with that landing lights. I landed at DPS at night and it was so bright it lighted up the cabin partially and substantially. I wonder if Boeing could do anything about it.

nice shiny new jet! i like how fresh the cabin looks but wondering about the comfy level. I dont mind no IFE for short hauls but I understand its also removed from business which i dont quite agree with

@LeeAviation

6 ай бұрын

Hey there! The level of comfort is generally perfect for a short to medium haul flight. Of course, it’s down to opinion on this one. Yeah, the removal of IFEs for business class is the most dumbest thing ever. Not entirely sure where MAG is going with this one, but it’s definitely the wrong way. Thanks for watching! :D

@LeeAviation

8 ай бұрын

Yeah, I don’t blame you haha. But I find that if the airlines trust them, then I will. It would be a huge loss for them if one crashed so they must have a lot of faith in them now. Must be quite convincing that it’s safe. Thanks for watching!

The spoilers were used to increase the rate of descend. Only to decelerate once landed as it is also a speed brake.

I flew on Icelandair’s 737 max 8 and i would say its fit for like a 5-6hour flight (like from ord were i flew out of) but 6+ hours is too much for me

Got check the rudder-control linkage mechanism. It seems 737 MAX got some issue

the ek347 thats my mom going to denmark

Very good video. I like how they switched to the US style of IFE where you use your own device to access the entertainment options. This reduces the cost of maintaining 100+ screens and in-seat systems and reduces a bit of weight. Another difference from the regular 737 is that the MAX actually has a bigger engine and sits further forward of the wings (and this is why Boeing implemented the MCAS system since moving the engines shifted the center of gravity of the aircraft; and the system was at fault for both fatal incidents involving the MAX which has now since been fixed). Also, the Malay subtitles are a bit weird. There are quite a few places where I would offer a better translation (I find it funny that "taxiing to the runway" is translated as "menaiki teksi ke landasan," as you are riding a taxi rather than performing the act of taxiing, an aviation term for moving from one to another on the ground; a better way to say is probably just "bergerak ke landasan") and more appropriate terms in place. Otherwise, it's overall pretty good.

@LeeAviation

7 ай бұрын

Yeah! I thought having no IFEs was a bit strange for a flag carrier but actually, it works pretty well. It honestly doesn’t matter if they have no tvs. Many people were upset that Malaysia Airlines had removed the IFE screen but as long as you have a device and headphone, you’ll be fine. Yeah I know. The Malaysian subtitles are a bit strange. It’s my second language so I still have a bit to learn. I had google translate help me with some so I assume that’s where the mistakes come in haha. Thanks for the comment and watching! :)

@TheOz91

7 ай бұрын

@@LeeAviation Yeah, again, this is definitely emulating the US carriers, who had been doing this for years. Since everyone carries a smart device nowadays, it's easier to have wifi with a local intranet connectivity to access the entertainment. It also saves the airline of having to clean and refurbish the headphones every time. No worries, you'll there. Perhaps in the future you can work with a native speaker who can help you verify the translation.
