Greetings, this TR is about my trip to Europe and the US on Economy. The entire journey will take just over a month starting 2nd Jan. I'll progressively update this TR 
Here's the journey
SIN-KUL (MH)
KUL-LHR (MH)
LHR-FRA (BA)
FRA-JFK (SQ)
JFK-BOS (UA)
BOS-LHR (BA)
LHR-SIN (SQ)
SIN-KUL (Either MH or SQ)
SIN-KUL
MH608 B737-400
MH608 departs at 1815, but upon check in I was told it's retimed to 1825. 10 minutes, no big deal I guess. With a little time to spare I thought I'd check out the Plaza Premium lounge as I'm a Citibank Platinum card holder. Then at the counter they told me only cards issued in Taiwan get to enter for free
So I'd skip the lounge and wait at the gate instead (F31).
I'm guessing this is where SQ380 departed? At 1730 they announced it'll be delayed 'till 1845
Not too far away lies 9V-STC, going somewhere soon I'm guessing
Finally 9M-MMU arrives. The ground staff spring into action..
A Lufthansa 744 pushing back, ready to leave for CGK.
Doors closed at 1847. I'm seated at 24A.
Before takeoff I asked for a pillow but I guess they forgot about it. The toilets only have a bottle of hand soap (which was empty anyway
.)Usual drinks served but no coffee 
Also, no annoucement from the pilot on this flight. Landed at 1928 at KLIA, and the Leading Steward thanked us "for flying with Malaysia airlines, Singapore airlines and Silkair." (What he meant was thank you for flying with Malaysia airlines along with our codeshare partners SIA and MI). Overall for this flight I'd expected better service, but for the price of the ticket, can't really complain 
Next up: KUL-LHR on MH
