Dan,what a nice thing to do helping out people stranded...this crisis is bringing out the best in many people

Hey Nonstop dan! as you said why don’t they keep the lounge open in the main terminal. And close the lounge in the satellite terminal. Is cause most of the Malaysian long-haul flights depart form the satellite terminal and not from the main terminal. And the satellite terminal has a better Lounge than the main terminal.

That is such a generous offer to help stranded travelers, and it’s something I’ve come to respect you for for so long. Many people could learn a thing or two from you, so thank you 🙏 for that Dan. Thank you for another honest review and I look forward to the next one. You and Oskar please stay safe!❤️👍✈️

The satellite terminal generally has more passengers and most of the flights there are long haul so if they were to close that lounge people would probably be more upset, the train ride is a good experience, you should have gone on it

Travelled from Delhi to Malaysia and then Malaysia to Bali for my honeymoon 3.5 years ago. It was also my first ever time on a plane. So it holds special to me. The bigger planes of the Malaysia Airlines are better imo. Smaller domestic ones, like from Malaysia to Bali are quite average. Still better than most Indian Airlines, so can't complaint.

I think reviewing an airline right now is like judging a drunk person...

Hi Dan, I'm from Italy and I follow you with a big pleasure. Hearing that you are ready to help people who are stuck somewhere and have financial problems make me happy so much. I lost a flight 2 years ago in Kuala Lumpur, the exact place of your video, and I had a very terrible experience, I know the actual situation is different, but I felt very sad and alone, I really would have liked to get a help from someone in that moment. A situation that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

The Malaysia Airlines lounge in the Satalite terminal is the main lounge and is far nicer and larger than in the main terminal. It also has a first class section unlike the other lounge.

Hi Dan, I had flown Malaysia Airlines to and from Sydney to KUL on both the A330 and A380 and had no issues at all with the cabin crew or the airline at all. I do understand as i used to work within the Airline Industry it is subjective, but when i flew MH, i found the staff to be extremely attentive and welcoming, but i have heard of people not having the greatest of experiences. Please Stay Safe.

As counterintuitive as it may sound, the satellite terminal is where MH's medium to long haul flights depart. This means that their flagship lounge is the one at the satellite terminal, not the main one.

I really respect you for your kind and generous offer of assistance to stranded travellers. We are all in this together. I will follow your travels and videos more closely.

Hi Dan, what a great gesture to help out stranded pax I’m finally on my way home tomorrow after being here in Dubai for 10 days I found Emirates to be outstanding with all the changes I’ve made, each time I changed another border closed Stay safe,feet on the ground

Well, this confirms what I knew from the beginning with you. I started watching because you seemed like a very good human. Thank you, Dan, you are very respected by me!!!!!

The satellite terminal has the biggest MH lounge compared to the main terminal. Maybe that’s why they closed it.

I don't think the "chaotic" in the title is justified. Not their fault Covid-19 led to the lounge closure. Having flown them in biz several times, what you got was par for the course for a regional flight. They'll never be SQ but then SQ probably wouldn't have sold you that ticket for $170. Also, don't book the last row if recline's important to you.

I have watched your videos for a long time! This is such an amazing gesture you are offering and so generous 🙌🏻 I have cancelled my travel plans but I’m keeping positive as I am lucky enough to be able to plan them for when it’s safe to go 🙌🏻

Dear Nonstop Dan, I've been following your stories and youtube videos! I'm so glad you are safe and sound and let me just say, I really loved your intro! I love how you acknowledge that the airline industry has hit rock bottom and you are willing to help those people that can't make it home! Keep doing what you are doing!!! Love from Sydney! :)

Dan you are a beautiful human 💕 thank you for your kindness and compassion to those in need at this hard time. Best wishes to you and your family. Stay safe

i really like your videos dan, they are so good, i have watched all of them! keep it up :)

Wow. You are upset that the Regional lounge in the main terminal - which only serves 738 flights - has been closed to help the airline survive this global problem? It was such an ache for you to take the train to the Satellite Terminal which is far superior? And by the way, the Satellite terminal serves the A380s and every other wide-body in the MH fleet and those from other carriers with lounge access rights. Your comment was pedantic and uncalled for. It is unreasonable of you to think all services will carry on as normal at this time. As for the seat recline, a simple check on seat-guru would have told you the perils of what seats to take on a variety of airlines.

Hey dan great video!!! I have flown MAS from LHR to KUL on their A350 and the experience was quite okay

This is an amazing offer, Dan. If we all did our part to help someone in need at this time, the world would be a happier place. Yes, stay safe.

Okay , where do i start ........I am a Aussie living in Johor Bahru , Malaysia , the boarder city to Singapore. I do love Malaysia , and its people , but it is a crazy place to live . I describe to friends as .....Singapore the laws are made to control the people ,and the laws in Malaysia are made to be broken. I find Malaysian airlines /airports a little the same , kinda controlled chaos . Continual gate changes are the norm , always late ........and the aircraft's are always shabby , very very worn. Maintenance and upkeep is an Achilles heal of Malaysia. Yeah , a worry when it comes to aircraft. Day 5 of our lock down , i am crawling the walls , i am worried about the safety of our factory .......the word is the military is being mobilized tonight . Stay safe everybody, these are crazy time.

Keep safe, Dan! ❤️ Hugs from the Philippines

Thank you for all your information. I just arrived back to the USA from Germany 3 days ago. I was lucky my flight was not canceled. It was my first flight ever and I love to fly now.

Awesome Video Daniel! You sure are my favourite channel on youtube!

So glad that you are using your popularity to send an important message. Så snilt av deg og tilby deg å hjelpe andre hjem.

Dan, that is so wonderful and generous of you. Thank you for caring about your subscribers. I hope you and your family remain safe and healthy. Here in Indiana, in our small town, we are on lockdown. I've been passing time watching some of your older videos. As for MAS, last time I flew with them was in 1989. I flew the 747-400 from LAX to KUL, then Airbus 300 (I think it was), from KUL to BKI. I stayed in KK for 3 months, loved it. MAS was great back then, not so much now. Anyway, stay safe always, much love from Indiana 💜✈️💜

Very generous and kind of you!! Love and regards...love your videos..

Gotta say. I rarely comment on vids but big props for you offering the help you feel you can. Love that!! “Be excellent to each other” ❤️

You are such a good guy Dan! ❤️❤️❤️ Big respect! Thank you for being such a sweet caring person xox

wow thats nice of you! glad to see good people online!

Dan, your offer is one of the sweetest things. Stay well.

Thanks for the upload Dan!

very sweet of you to try and help your supporters ❤️

Really nice of you to help people! We had to cancel our trip to Puerto Rico and St Thomas :(

You are a sweet and kind soul to help those stranded during this crisis, prayers to you and your family! Stay safe and I look forward to your next video!!

Glad to see you safely home! 💜

Glad to see your home safe.

A wonderful gesture for the flight rescue. Great Job Dan. Stay Safe.

It's amazing that you are helping people with rescue flights! Keep up the great work 😊

God bless you I feel so sorry for people who are stranded and can’t get home 🏠

Your very kind helping people get home ❤️

Well done dan very decent of you . You and your family stay safe but happy 👍

Don't mind me - the moment i saw this video I clicked on it because your channel is such a genuine and sweet channel. Thanks so much for making this vlog, and I will watch the next one

Thanks, Dan, take care of yourself, we look forward to flying with you again soon.

Stay safe and healthy people (and stay inside please!)!

You're a good guy for helping people get home. Props to you man

Hey Dan, first off, I really commend you for even offering to help people get back home in this chaotic time. It's really nice of you and I really hope you'll be able to help as many people as you can. Second, I have been watching your videos for the past year now. I accidentally came across your channel, looking up a flight review for Norwegian (I think) and the video really helped me decide on how to go about my travel. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos and I always really look forward to new reviews and overall flight experiences. My favorite video so far, is the random long haul flight from Ontario (Canada), to somewhere in China (can't remember) through Air China's 777-300ER Business. The aircraft, interior, service, and all around experience looked phenomenal! Thanks again!

Malaysia Airlines doesn't have a Lounge at the area where your aircraft was. Their Lounge is at the Sattelite Building where you have to take the aerotrain. Its not only Malaysia Airlines, So many Airlines rating have dropped. The design of nowdays Business Class seats are really-really nuts.

Hey Daniel.. kudos for trying to help out stranded travelers. Glad you and Oscar are back home and safe. Had you guys on my mind since viewing a previous video, wondering if you guys might be stranded somewhere. Continue to stay safe. Cheers

Thank you for helping the people in need! People like you should be added to the hero list!

Least amount of recline in a premium cabin? Avoid row 3 on the Air Canada Embraer 190 as it doesn't recline at all. Around 10 years ago I also flew on a US Airways A320 (former America West) plane and the seat had almost no recline even in row 2.

I too just flew with Malaysia Airlines luckily just before the chaotic lockdown happened. 😅 Very super lucky, I also notice that Malaysia airlines is cutting back on certain things, but I have to say that their ground and air crew are still top notch and deserves a good mention. I hope my country’s national airline will pull through, and keep operating as Malaysia Airlines for many years to come. 🤞Hope everyone is staying safe. Until we’re allowed to travel. Take care! 😷✌️

Hey Dan please stay safe out there and look forward to maybe meeting you in the future when this current nightmare is over.

What a beautiful offer to help people. I think what you are offering is showing how all of us can do good around us . I'm still working to help people during the crisis and it really Cheers me up to watch your video today :) . Take care Dan !!!! And i cant wait To see new videos in the next month !!!

Kudos for the kind gesture! Keep it up stay safe 👌

Dan, Very good of you to help people and families RE-unite. Thanks for your videos.

Your one of my most favorite plane reviewers

Luv ur vids dan. Fly safe

4:10 - There is a lounge in this terminal, however I believe it is closed at the moment due to low passenger flow, so the only one opening is the Satellite Terminal (where most International flights with wide bodies and foreign airlines are at) (and that lounge is WAYYY better than the main terminal one so... yea)

Hi Dan, Love your work and PLEASE STAY SAFE!

Of course there has to be this kind of situation going on immediately when I would've had months of time to travel and fly 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Just my personal preference and opinion about the lounge issue, 1) the satellite lounge is larger. not sure about MH's current load, but the main terminal lounge is considerably smaller in size, so may be clusterphobic when confined. At a time when distancing is crucial, a good choice to choose more spacious area. 2) More facilities at the satellite lounge. If I remember correctly, there's no facilities such as bar, shower and nap area in the main lounge. Trying to maintain certain level of service? 3) Main terminal is usually for shorter flights. I think people travelling shorter range, especially in business class tends to show up closer to departure time, and are less frequent to visit lounges (my personal opinion, no statistics!). The longer flights and larger aircrafts usually departs from the satellite terminal. Thus those transiting are more likely to use the satellite terminal on either or both their flights. 4) There's no first class lounge in main terminal. I may be wrong, but I don't think there is a first class lounge in the main terminal building. So if they want to continue provide first class lounge, makes more sense? Especially for the transit travelers, they're sure to use the lounge. I'm no insider, so it's all a guess game, and some of the info may be wrong. But I also do see your point as to prefer having the main terminal lounge open rather than the satellite one.

Dan you and Oskar take care of yourselves during these troubled times.

Dan the man! 💙

Malaysian’s wide body long hauls (higher revenue) go from the remote terminal while domestic and regional go from the main. That’s why the lounge(s) are in the satellite. Surprised to see alcohol on a regional business class flight as they removed it a few years ago during severe cutbacks.

I have flown with Malaysia airlines numerous times from LHR to KUL and every time the service and food was brilliant but their shorter flights on 737s are chaotic and sometimes late or don’t show up and no staff are there to help but when you get help they give you free hotel and have really good hospitality

Glad you got home safe,take care

I'm from Malaysia having a lockdown here p.s love your vids

Wow good that you make that for a person in need! Respect

Stay safe, Dan & Oscar... 🤗

Hi I am mashhood six and half years old. I love your videos and always watching from my father’s Id. I love aeroplanes and this industry. I followed you and get lot of information.

The Satellite lounge at KUL is at least 8x the size of the Regional lounge. Obviously makes sense to keep the larger of the two open- Satellite is also where all OneWorld carriers operate from. When Cathay started closing lounges they also closed the smaller ones first.

Wow, kudos to you for offering to help out stranded passengers. Hope you managed to assist a few? Am so glad that we never got stuck overseas, as I never budget for major changes like this. Maybe should do so in future.

Thank you for choosing Malaysia Airlines as your flight to bali Indonesia

Good to hear safe and sound...

Thanks for giving me something pretty to look at and dream about, Dan. I have pneumonia, which wiped out my immune system, so I won't be going anywhere for a loooong time. I need something to look forward to! Stay safe, both of you! Love to you and Oscar!💖

always lovely to see Oskar, are you isolating together ?

We are stranded in Nashville and need to be in St. Bart's... xoxo :) Appreciate you and all you do! Chris and John

Satellite terminal had heaps of flights to Australia and New Zealand on Thursday. Very lucky to be home, away from Myanmar 😍

Dan, your "Random act of kindness" to offer financial help in finding a flight home for a stranded person has absolutely blown me away!! Im going to share this vid to as many people as l can so you can get the views up as appreciation for what you are doing. Im safely at home in Australia but lm going to share your channel as my small bit to repay the kindness. Sending a big social distancing hug to you and Oskar. 🙏

I was on the return flight to Kl from Denpasar! Must of just missed you :/

Dan and Oskar, please be carefull and stay safe and inside. Greetings from the Netherlands🇱🇺

wow, Dan coming thru with the evacutions 👏👏👏 I was supposed to be studying abroad in South Korea this spring, but my univerisity cancelled all of their programs :( I'm lucky enough that my school offered to pay for the change fee, but even then there were waivers for my itinerary.

Hi Dan, Regarding the lounge situation in Kuala Lumpur, The majority of international flights as well as all long haul flights in Kuala Lumpur depart from the satellite terminal with the main terminal mainly being reserved for regional and domestic 737’s only. Therefore, I think that it was a wise decision by Malaysia airlines to only keep their satellite lounge open for the convenience of the most premium passengers.

You sounded like an Aussie at the end there lol 😊 So very nice of you to offer people help. Nice change for the arsehats running round hoarding..... I do hope you keep up with videos..... please Stay well & look forward to seeing the rest of your trip home

Hiya Dan. Was wondering where you had disappeared to? Trying to help a deserving few get home is indeed an exceptional act of generosity on your part - very well done!👍 Be careful yourself, Oscar and your family and friends. Best regards from Dublin, Ireland☘ to everyone out there😷👍👍🖖.

Gentleman, and hope others can follow. Stay safe.

It makes sense that they close the lounge in the main terminal. The one in the satellite terminal is their bigger lounge and can accommodate more passengers. Those who fly the B737 from the main terminal can easily get to the lounge at the satellite terminal, it doesn't take 10 minutes, it's barely 6 minutes. 2 minutes for the train ride and 4 minutes for walking.

Hi dan.I really love your content

yes i have flying mh17 when i giong to MALAYSIA in the YEAR 2000 and it was verry good on the TRIPPLE 7 (1999 with ba)

I suggest doing a fun live Q&A while we all wait to get on a plane again!! :)

I work at the KLIA and for what as i know, they close the main terminal building (MTB) MH Golden Lounge at that moment because there is suspected pax for covid-19 reported and they have to close the lounge immidiately for inspection and disinfection process. And as for now, ALL lounges at the KLIA is closed due to the pandemic.

Selamat Datang to KUL, my last flight with MH if awful coz the crew asked me to stop recording for my trip report 🤣 daymnnnn ‼️

Now that we're seeing how savagely the US airlines are asking for billionaire bailouts after wasting their profits, I would like for you to give us the director's cut of this video of course if you can. By the way, you're an incredibly generous and decent human being, thank you for helping people who are stranded and cannot get home to their families or to start their own social distancing.

@Non-stop dan. Will you ever fly the KLM new 787 product and not their old one! (After the coronavirus)

Bigger lounge on satelite terminal. Maybe thats why MH use that one.

Satellite terminal lounge is way better than main terminal due to most of the long haul flights are departing from satellite terminal. One of the reason your flight been downgraded to 737 instead of 333 is because there is not sufficient passenger take off on that day and sometimes even worse they will relocate you to the next flight due to insufficient passenger. If you’re flying 333 I think the entire biz class experience will be much pleasant. Hopefully you will still giving next chance to fly MH wide body aircraft. Stay home and stay safe 😷
