I used them severel times over the last two years and can only say the best about them. modern new aircrafts, friendly staff, punctual !
Seeing the new airport when changing the aircraft to Bali in KL can be seen as a bonus as it is a architectual masterpiece.
The only thing I dont like is that you can not smoke on the plane and on KL airport only in the fish tank which are called by the KL airport staff "gas chambers". The only airline you still can smoke on is garuda indonesia from London to Bangkok, and the stretch Bangkok to Denpasar is already nonsmoking, and Lauda Air from Vienna till Denpasar (London-Vienna on Austrian Airlines) is still smoking till 01 April then also they go nonsmoking.
By the way Airlines are not going nonsmoking because they are concerned about our health - wrong - its just a matter of money as it is much cheaper to run a nonsmoking plane, no costly changing of airfilters, less cleaning costs, no carpet burns ecetera.
