Surprisingly with only 2 weeks before flight, Malaysia Airlines gave the best deal among 3 airlines that service the KUL-BKI-KUL route. It was quite cheap that we decided to try our luck and throw in a MHupgrade bid.<\/p>\n<p>Few days before the flight, we got the good news that we have been upgraded. Just exactly what we needed as we have been outside for most of the day and the chance to freshen up and relax before a flight is definitely something that we look forward to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2198.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2198.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2198.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2198-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check-in was smooth.
