Flying high with the world's best cabin crew

A 12-hour flight from London to Kuala Lumpur is less tiring when you're in the company of the world's best cabin crew . Their ever-smiling faces despite the tough task at hand made travelling on Malaysia Airlines a joy. The 747-400 was full when it took off from Heathrow at 10pm on Wednesday December 8. It was carrying 362 passengers with a 22-member crew on board. An hour earlier flight to Kuala Lumpur via Langkawi was also full as in the normal case of the other national carrier daily flights from London. It was not the first time that the Malaysia Airlines cabin crew was voted the best in the world. It was achieved as a result of Skytrax's annual survey of some 130 worldwide airlines. Malaysia Airlines holds the the honour for the fifth time in six years from 1999 except for a momentarily lapse last year.
