Kuala Lumpur! You gave me a great time...
In fact, I have been waiting for this layover for such a long time~why? because it was supposed to be my first layover after my cabin crew traning, but unfortunately I was pulled out for London just 2 days before my KUL 52 hrs layover! So scheduling took my KL out from the roster~~~ so sad huh!!! I was waiting if it will come back to my roster by itself, and of course never happened. Finally this month i am thrid top among the 7 bidding groups so I managed to get 3 Hamburg flights, thought about it what not just swap one of them for Kuala Lumpur! After spending the whole day searching for any KL available swaps requests, finally I got one swap for 50 hours in KL which is awesome and met what I really need! And swap was approved thanks god~of course thanks for the korean girl who accepted my swap...anyway i am giving a GOOD LAYOVER-Hamburg!
Note: We used to have such flight pattern...DXB/HAM/JFK/HAM/DXB...but is in EK history now! Many crew that had done that flight in the past saying that it is one of their favourite flight! No doubt i would say the same.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital city, with the majority of muslim peoplea, same as Indonesia, you can always see ladies with the abaya around their head, the only difference in their traditional way to wear is the never cover out their face, the way far different from middle east ladies. Kuala Lumpur is such a lovely asian city, so exotic and full of friendly people around, plus its Public transportation system is so well designed so making this trip much easier to hang around and shop! The hotel we stayed is actually close to Petrona Twin Towers, which used to be the tallest 4 years ago! Now seems to be our Burj Tower in Dubai~
Dinning in Kuala Lumpur is so amazing and unbelivably cheap! This time I had to buy a new camera because the one I had was broken in a bar we hung together in KL...it never switched back on again...sadly I had to buy a new one~the only thing i can tell you guys is go to different shops and compare their prices and you can always bargain! The best place to buy an electronic item is in Sungai Wang Plaza full of shops and with good cameras! bare in mind shoppers!
In regards to crew, WAS THE BEST! What a wonderful set of crew i had got on this flight! SFS was so nice and outgoing along with the crew, we always hung out together for 2 nights consecutively, having drinks, eating, laughing, taking funny photos! Was an amazing layover, one of the best i can say. Smooth flight, best crew, great teamwork...I can't ask for more!

Global Financial Downturn
Dear all,Just came back from my flight and heard some news from our flight purser and yet this can sound quite dissapointed but is truth which we should accept it at this point.
1. No bonus for this year, revenue dropped significantly
2. Recruitment has stopped all their planned open days and assessment days until further notice.
3. Cabin Crew Upgrade opportunities have been delayed as well.
4. Cost and budgeting cut will be assumed to pass through the global financial downturn.
5. Some routes have been either cancelled or reduced its weekly or daily frequency, such as Nagoya will stop at the end of March, Johanesburg has only 2 daily flights instead of 3 (the afternoon one will be eventually 4 times a week, and later may be cancelled).
Above are some concret and realistic points from our senior people after their meeting with management, not to scare of but bare in mind that the we have been affected by the financial crisis, as a result, our company will re-plan and re-assure departmental and organisational policies by making sure every path has put at the right place.
Best wishes for all those who want to join us, let's hope the bad time will pass quickly so we can see you all on line!
