Misleading and unhelpful
On June 23, I made an online booking for 4 persons to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam October 21 - 25. I entered the date I wanted and clicked on 'Lowest Fare' type.

I was then shown the available trips and picked my desired time. After all the necessary information provided I confirmed my ticket at a total of RM5468 and filled in my credit card details. MAS then sent a confirmation e-mail regarding my purchase. After rechecking the mail, I realized I had made a mistake of the return date and immediately called their hotline. I would be liable for an additional RM50 per ticket change, which is fine and went ahead with it.

Within minutes of this occurrence, I decided to go back into their website and did a separate but identical booking and to my horror, the total was RM2748! Instantly I called their hotline again to explain the matter of price changing in a matter of minutes when I clearly selected their lowest fare option.

The operator informed me they could not rectify the situation but I would need to take it up with their IBE SUPPORT department and only reachable by e-mail. I then shot out an e-mail to [email protected] on Friday explaining what had happened and did not hear back until late Monday after sending out a second e-mail.

A staff by the name of Surinder of the Business Support Center replied saying my first e-mail was not received due to the wrong address (I rechecked and did not make any mistake). He mentioned they are unable to entertain my request of reverting to the lowest fare (RM2748) from the original (RM5468) due to the TERMS & CONDITIONS.

MAS FAILED to recognize although I did not choose for the 'Flexible Fare', I did however chose the option of 'Lowest Fare', which was NOT the case.

I proceeded to the MAS Penang office on the ground floor of Menara KWSP and spoke directly with a staff. I gave her my booking details and she herself was surprised why I wasn't given the lowest fare (RM2748) from the beginning.

She reiterated the only department that can help with my situation was the IBE SUPPORT, who will not entertain my request.

The stark difference of my ticket and what is cheaper available prompted me to cancel the entire trip and MAS is charging me RM800 for all four tickets as a cancellation penalty.

This is obviously very misleading and very disappointing. For budget airlines to practice this is understandable, but for a national carrier is ridiculous! I will not rest my case until I am absolved and getting my FULL refund.

misconduct of airhostess
I was travelling with my family on flight no.MH714 from Denpasar to Kualalampur on 13.06.2011. I booked my asian vegetarian meal well in advance for 7 passengers of my family.During the food service airhostess served different meal and said they have no asian veg meal due to the fault of ground staff of malaysia airlines at Denpasar. I requested the air hostess ( Ms.Domg ) to get me the complaint book or feedback form so that I can put my complaint to the seniors. Despite of giving me the feedback form she called the other host from the back cabin, who threatened me not to ask for any complaint or otherwise I will be in a problem.Such behaviour of ur staff will tarnish the image of ur company one day and you will be empty handed without customers travelling with you.I dont think or expect any action from the worst airlines like yours.

Increase in ticket price without information for booked ticket
Dear Sir/Madam,
This with regards to my return ticket from Bangalore - Kuala lumpur-Melbourne which was booked on the 18th March 2011 . Ticket No: 2321750606033. I had to postpone my ticket to a later date due to unavoidable circumstances. I was travelling with my son wo had turned 2 on the 9th May 2011. I had visited the Malaysian Airlines office on Residency road in Bangalore on the 27th May and informed them that I would like my ticket to be booked for the 6th July. I met a lady -Ms Soorya and was informed by her that the ticket needs to be re-issued as my son had turned from an infant into a child. I agreed to this and the amount quoted to me was Rs 16, 000. I had requested for time till the 3rd June as i was not prepared with the amount right away. The booking was made on the same day-27th May. I received a rude shock on the 3rd June when i went to the office to make the payment. The person who I had interacted was in the office but didn't come forward to meet me at all and I was made to wait for a long while after which I was informed that i will have to pay Rs 22, 545 for the ticket as there was a hike in fuel charges on the same day as they claim that the circular was received just that day. I am truly dissapointed and upset with the service as the least bit that they could have done was inform me about the hike as my ticket was already booked. It is very disheartening to go through such an experience with an Airlines of such repute. I request you to look into this matter. I surely will not be making use of this Airlines again.

Luggage
I flew from Jakarta to Osaka via Kuala Lumpur with Malaysia Airlines (MH) on 9 January 2010. Arriving in Osaka this morning, 10 January, I could not find my accompanied luggage. I need that luggage badly as my suits, clothes, conference documents, cellphone and camera batteries and many others are in the luggage. I am about to give speeches in a conference in Kobe on 11 and 12 january and should return to jakarta on 13 january. I was informally informed by an official at Osaka airport that the luggage was left in KL. The lost and found at Osaka airport tried to contact MH in KL and persuade them to send my luggage with other carrier so I could get my luggage at least on 11 evening. No positive response from KL. My office in Jakarta tried to contact MH in Jakarta, but negative response from KL. I am frustrated here. And nobody from MH has tried to contact me to explain what has happened. How come this airline is so irresponsible? Malaysia Airlines is so unprofessional!! I really hope my luggage can be sent to Kobe as soon as possible, and I would be able to receive it on 11 January. william s, portopia hotel, kobe. sent 10 January 2010, 17.30 Kobe time.

Rude and ineffecient
We booked our tickets online to fly from India to Australia on Malaysian Airlines. Our travel plans changed and we had to cancel the tickets.

OCT 2010

1) We were asked to contact the bangalore office.

2) The bangalore office said contact Chennai office

3) I called Chennai office and the person is asking me why bangalore asked to contact them... what the F*** do i know... i'm just doing as im told.

4) he asked me to contact bangalore office

5) Bangalore office asked me to send a photo copy of my credit card... I said I am not sending any photo copy of my card as they can go and use it anywhere... why cant they use the card that was paid... they said if you want your money send the card or piss off

6) I send a picutre of my card and i was told Delhi office to process and should have the money by end of Nov

End of Nov... I am in the travel industry as well and not sure why it should take 4-6 weeks to do a bloody refund...

Early Dec..

I called the Australian call centre... They said they cant do anyting... and asked me call India and be nice to them...

Dec 23rd 2010...

its been 8 weeks since this started... I keep sending emails to the indian offices and dont get any response...

I want to complain to somebody in Malaysian Airlines... and there is nobody you can compalain to... basically they are saying... "Get F**cked"...

Website glitch
I booked my ticket online on malaysian airlines website. everything was fine untill i tried to print out my tickets next week after i booked it and shocked that return dates are not what i booked in for. it was the default date when you enter your going date.

So i called malaysian airlines and explained to them that there is something wrong they refused and blamed me for this her wording were " Sir, you select your dates on online booking we dont". being an IT professional i decided to research the website and found that their website had cookie problem which was changing dates back to default date on confirmation. so made a clear video shot of their website showing exactly what happened. so i wrote to their IT support department and they refused as well saying "The history was checked and there are no errors found in booking this is a clean transaction."

So i replied "Have a look yourself. I am sending you video shot of incident happened with me" and then they decided to do further investigation and after few days

"we were unable to see the video clearly because the video was too small. However as advised by our technical team, we are confirmed that there was a glitch or error in our website during your transaction."

But for all this what i got "Thank you for communicating with us and sorry for all inconveniences."

Being made to pay exorbitant fee for refund due to error on website
On 26th Sept, i tried making an online booking for my husband and i for a flight back to KL from Denpasar on the 29th Sept. The first time round, my application was rejected, something to the effect that they failed to process my application. and so i tried the second time, which had also failed. After which i gave up and booked AirAsia instead, which came through fine.

After i've succeeded purchasing the AirAsia tickets (FINALLY, at 4am, after taking me 4 hours to scour cheaper flights thro MAS and book, only to be rejected), i logged-on to my email to get the AirAsia online confirmation, only to ALSO find TWO MAS ONLINE CONFIRMATION for the twice supposedly rejected purchases!!!

after NUMEROUS calls to the 1300-number (which tend to get cut-off easily) that night and the next morning, a customer service staff advised me to extend my complaint email to the "ibesupport" and they will advise on the refund process.

And so i emailed to ibesupport and explained my entire situation (for the two 'rejected' purchases), only to receive a reply asking me to go to nearest MAS office with the refund code attached, with a processing fee of USD40 per ticket i.e USD160 in total!!!

And when i replied back that why did I have to be made to PAY for THEIR incompetensies, furthermore in USD not Ringgit M'sia, and the answer was that since the ticket was from Denpasar to KL, then it a standard rate to use in USD. But since i require in RM, then it'd be RM200 per ticket!!! and that's even MORE EXPENSIVE than USD!

i certainly have NO KIND WORDS at the moment for this kind of services.

Anybody has any advice for me to FIGHT to NOT PAY any exorbitant FEE, PLEASE DO ADVICE ME. i'll certainly go rampant with anti-MAS on my facebook if they still make me pay!

Luggae lock Broken and goods stolen
This is complaint is about my luggage which has been broken while i was traveling from Banladesh to Singapore via Malaysia, my lock was broken and my stuff was stolen which i have noticed after reaching Singapore. The luggage was checked in Bangladesh, Dhaka International Airport, we also had a transit in Malaysia where the luggages was transffered to a different MH airlines...I have also informed the airline authority and they have confirmed that they will look into this matter and investigate the whole thing. I am sorry to say that it has been almost 4 months but they have not contacted me regarding this matter. I suppose they should have had atleast contacted me and let me know the status.
I hope you would be able to help me regarding this matter. Thank you for your cooperation.

Cancellation of flight without contact
On 14-10-2009 I bought 2 return tickets for Penang to Male, travelling on the 10-04-2010 and returning 15-04-2010. I received a confirmation email to my personal email address on the same day. The trip is for a wedding ceremony and honeymoon in Maldives.

The problem with my booking is that while we are in Maldives, we were informed that there is no flight on the 15-04-2010. We found this out late in the evening on 14-04-2010. There were no previous contacts from Malaysian Airline, or even attempted contacts that I know of. Even the check-in desk when we left Penang did not mention any changes. Because the local Malaysian Airlines offices were closed at the time we found our flight no longer exists, we decided to wait till the morning of the 15th and see if someone from the Malaysian Airlines can help us sort this issue out.

The next day, 15-04-2010. I called the Malaysian Airlines Male offices asking what happened to the flight, why wasn’t we informed and what they can do to sort this out. We were told our ticket was changed to 14-04-2010. Which was news to me! And they couldn’t tell me why I was not informed of this. I told them what’s most important now is you need to fix this issue because your lack of communication will possibly delay me and cost me my job. Because I needed to get back to Penang on the 16-04-2010, as originally planned so I can catch further connections to London for work. Malaysian airlines staff at their Male offices were not helpful and told us they could do nothing there they had no flights on that day and can only re-book me and my wife to leave on 16-04-2010 (arriving in Penang on 17-04-2010). Also, they cannot book me on a flight with a different airline leaving on 15-04-2010. This was also repeated to me by one of their staff at Malaysian Airlines headquarters over the phone. This seems ridiculous as they are allowed to re-schedule me on a different flight that will completely ruin my travel plans, but will do nothing to fix it. The staff (I regret now that I did not get his name) passed me to their customer relations answer phone when I asked to speak to a manager. I would have left a message if I didn’t have to sort out a flight getting back to Penang leaving Male on 15-04-2010. We couldn’t wait for the Malaysian Airlines flight on the 16-04-2010 due to my work as I have mentioned previously.

This situation has left a particularly bitter taste because the holiday to Male was for a wedding ceremony and honeymoon for my wife and I. It soured what was a wonderful honeymoon and because for the last day we had to run around trying to talk to their unhelpful staff and secure airline tickets back to Penang.

In the end we had to buy Singapore airline tickets ourselves to get back in time. I’ve been trying to get in contact with Malaysian Airlines customer support to claim this back, but have been met with silence all around. No answers to emails or even letters.

The attached image shows or original confirmation flights, the one that was canceled.
