Review of Air Asia X flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth in Economy

Transiting in KLIA

After arriving at KLIA 2, we proceded past the transfer process and into the main lobby. The center of KLIA 2 was carpeted and surrounded by shops, on the upper level was a food court.

After eating breakfast in the upper level foodcourt, we proceeded through security and into the widebody gates

At the gate

Compared to KLIA 1s terminal, KLIA 2 was more cramped and walking to the gate felt like walking through a corridor. Also, the gates had barely any signage to tell where ours was

This was the plane, 9M-XXF nicknamed Northern X-Posure (cheeky pun), a 2010 built A330-300. Its still painted in the 2017 special "10 Xciting Years" livery (even though its now been 17 years since Airasia X first flew)

When we got to the gate, it was still empty and we had to wait approximately 30 minutes for the boarding announcement to begin

Soon, boarding began and we walked up to the gate

Inside the plane

My seat was 31J and just like all Airasia planes it was made of a leather seat

Pushback and Take-Off

Soon after, pushback commenced

Passing by 3 other Airasia X A330-300s, the ones in Eurowhite are recent 2022-2023 additions

And then it was take off (Sorry, no photos or videos of it)

Cruising

Status of the cabin on our flight to Perth

Before the flight, me and my dad pre-ordered some meal to eat, so I got Airasia's famed Nasi Lemak. The food was quite good, for an LCC that is
