This would be a short trip report of my recent weekend stint to Kuala Lumpur. Flights up and back were booked on Malindo and Tigerair at very reasonable prices.
Checked in at Terminal 3 an hour prior to the Friday evening departure. Would be trying Malindo's economy class this time round, after having flown on their Business Class just a month back.
Departure gate at B3.
Boarding commenced early.

Boarding the brand new B737-800.
Welcomed by very friendly Malindo girls and proceeded to my seat at the Emex row, which can be pre-booked at no additional charges during online check-in! Same for the 1st row seats of economy class if available during online check-in.
Legroom galore!

Boarding almost completed. However pushback was slightly delayed due to a missing passenger. Note the rather large and clear touchscreen IFE screens in Economy.

Taxi to Rwy02C. Due to congestion, the taxi to the runway took almost as long as the flight itself!
Takeoff from Rwy02C.
