Firefly Airlines



So last weekend I went to KL to celebrate my darling cousin Esther's birthday. We went up via Firefly and it was a good trip.

Firefly airlines land at Subang Airport which is a BIG PLUS as other airlines land at KLIA. It is so much more convenient that Firefly brings people to where they want to be on a domestic flight, and not to a God forsaken place such as sepang where the sun blazes your skin apart. Plus its an hour drive if anyone were to pick you up from the airport. Causes alot of inconvenience to you!

Subang is in the middle of everywhere, so for that, Thumbs up for you, Firefly!

I have though heard of many complaints that Firefly has the smallest aircraft and it is very unstable bla bla bla bla. To be honest, if you're destined to die, you're destined to die. Even if you're in your own bathroom, you'll have the same chances of dying as compared to you being in a tiny aircraft. Yes, I do agree that they do experience turbulence's in air, but tell me, which air flight doesn't? It's machine versus Mother Nature and even the biggest Titanic sank because of it. So go figure. There is no such need putting down an airline for its size.



There have also been complaints of delays on sitting Firefly airlines, mostly due to weather problems. Isn't it safer that you're in the airport in the midst of a storm than trying to brave it to get to your destination? Even there is delay, I think you can find some compassion that other people's lives are as important as yours, so that Firefly finds it reasonable to delay the flight till when the weather is safe to fly! So it's your appointment or your safety/other people's safety.

It's funny how Firefly seems to be rushing for time. Me and my cousin Lilie figured it's because it's such a tiny aircraft, it needed more speed and such to enable it to take off. She's an engineer, so she's probably right! HAHAHA

So this is my description of how it flew!!!



Yes, it went straight forward, then straight up! Those are all sudden movements and it sometimes knocks our breaths our, but it is all very exciting!

Quite cute lar the pic, but that's not for the faint hearted. The flight is quite smooth though.

Do you know why it's called Firefly?





It's cos they are tiny, and there are millions of them! (I should try to crack their name code. This is their motive in calling themselves Firefly so they can expand all their tiny flights all over the world! Cute!)

So when calling themselves Firefly, they are allowed to fly like this:



They like to swerve here and there, but I should think they have their own reason? Shouldn't question it though. Oh well! As long as I am there on time, it's all good!

Another big PLUS PLUS POINT :



They serve muffins and juice! FOR FREE! Some flights have to pay for even water ok! So ngiao jee!!!!!!!!!!

Some more the air stewardesses will smile sweetly at you and help you put your luggages on the top! And they also don't charge for check-ins!!!!!! Wah so amazing.

They also fly to Ipoh, but that's via Singapore, so I hope they open it via JB soon so I can go visit Cherry!!!!

And I hope they expand it to other countries as well.

Money-wise they aren't very far away from other airlines. Sometimes they are pricier, depending on the period you buy the tickets. But all is good! I don't have to land in KLIA anymore and BEG people to come pick me up!

WEEEEE!!!
