Hello and welcome all lovely readers to my first flight report <3<3
 
I'm a newbie here. based in Bangkok, Thailand. And I had visited Kuala Lumpur for short holidays. My flight from Bangkok to KL was Thai Smile Airways, and I decided to fly back home by the jordanian flag carrier which operate flight stop at Bangkok Airport (BKK).

before starting, I'm sorry with my photo quality. I took from my phone and I resized it smaller TT^TT

Okie! Let's start at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Royal Jordanian Airlines is in KLIA1 as the same as all other full services airlines. The check-in counter is at row H.

Row H airline members. And ofcourse! my RJ is here, Royal Jordanian :)

I a bit surprised mostly passenger are big groups. They're going to Amman (at group check in counter) as what you are seeing in the photo. But…

Economy Class check in counter was no one in queue! My flight is RJ181 KUL-BKK-AMM. I asked the staff about load factor. She informed me 90% full. And only 12 passenger will only stops at Bangkok Airport (BKK). Yepp, one of them is me :)

My boarding gate was C1 which is on the satellite terminal. So I need to take shuttle services…

Skip to boarding. All cabin crew on this flight are Thai females with 1 Jordanian flight purser. (Bangkok base cabin crew are only thai females and they only operate flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Hong Kong (HKG).

Look to the left, Business Class. Not my place tonight. I immediately turn right to Economy Class <3


photo img_1363photo img_1366

Economy Class cabin looks so clean due to the light grey seatcover color. and some are red seats. This is one of my favorite cabin color as I have flown with many airlines.

Here is my 30K. A pillow and blanket are well prepared on the seat.


photo img_1374

To be honest I don't like its color which is not matched with airlines concept. It should be red, grey, or white… shouldn't be orange. but nevermind :)


photo img_1403

32 inches seat pitch as other full service airlines. I am 170 cm tall. Still left some free gap for me :)


photo img_1372

The IFE screen was OK. But no remote control. Under the screen is headphone port and USB port.


photo img_1407

Seat pocket has nothing much, B787-8 safety instruction & air sickness bag are well contained in plastic cover. And airline's magazine royalwings.

Boarding completed, cabin crew are starting to givaway in-ear headphone and adaptor for using onboard. The sound quality was quite bad. So  unsatisfied for me :(

Aircraft pused back with safety video demonstration. Starting from Arabic, follow by English.


photo img_1420

Due to it was a short haul flight, cabin crew started serving meal immediately after seat belt sign has been off. Let's see what meal onboard was :)


photo img_1427

This flight served by only one menu. noodles with shrims, seasonal fruits, bread and water. The catering has been loaded from Bangkok (as the cover of water cup)


photo img_1428

Follow by beverages. Hot tea, coffee, fruit juices and some alcohol bevs. I didn't order anything.


photo img_1429

After finished dinner, Cabin lights has been turned down for passenger to rest. Which means no more services onboard.

    Hi Burtshhh, thanks for sharing your first FR here with us! Definitely a cool report on a rarely reviewed 5th freedom route. The cabin looks nice, I agree that the colours are relaxing. Too bad the service was lackluster, though.

    Welcome to Flight-Report!

    Thank you for your FR and welcome! Nice and rich first post. However I must say, for such a generous meal for a 2hrs flight, don't you think it deserves a bit more than 5/10? Unless the taste was mediocre? I think it is more than generous, as most airlines serve nothing more than a sandwich and a drink on outstation domestic flights :) Many happy wings and welcome to Flight-Report
