flymas.mobi - as easy as 1,2,3!

Ringggg...a long alarm suddenly woke me up from sleep. It was 7 O'clock in the morning. I am gonna fly to Singapore today for a business trip. I jumped off from my bed and took a quick shower.

Ohh..no..where is my flight itinerary..?? I tried to search in my bedroom and in my office briefcase but i couldn't find it. I might have left it at the office and it is not possible to go to the office and took it as I am running out of time. What should I do now..?? I quickly grabbed my handphone and thinking of to contact Malaysian Airlines (MAS) call centre to confirm if it possible to check in without the itinerary.

While searching for the number, suddenly I remembered that MAS had just launched it's MHmobile portal recently where customers may check their travel plan throught mobile. I saw the ad in the newspaper few days ago. I immediately typed http://flymas.mobi/ in my mobile web browser and I am in. By simply keyed in my 5 digits booking number and my name, I am able to view the itinerary and check other details as well. I was impressed with it because it was so simple and easy especially for first timer like me as no application to download or registration required.


On the way to KLIA by ERL, I surfed MHmobile portal to check on my flight status for any rescedule or delay. Luckily, my flight was on time. Even I didn't bring the physical flight itinerary with me, but now with Mhmobile portal, I can simply check in by showing a 2D barcode mobile boarding pass from my mobile. How convenience it is. With this, now we can go paperless and help to save the environment. Credit to MAS for this effort.

I arrived Singapore 1 hour later. All I can say, I enjoyed every minute flying with MAS. With comfortable seat, great in-flight entertainment, delicious mouth watering cuisine, quality in-flight shopping items and world-class cabin crew services, the experience was amazing until I forgot that I was actually thousand kilometres away from the ground. That is why MAS is a 5-star airlines as rated by Skytrax. Keep it up MAS.

Two days in Singapore, my schedule was tight with meeting with clients. Only on the 3rd day, I managed to find some free time shopping at Orchard Road and Chinatown. I bought quite a number of corporate suits and souveniers. Err..to be exact, a full of travelling bag. Luckily, I rented a car in Singapore. I cannot imagine holding shopping bags commuting by MRT. Besides, I managed to facebook-ing my travel itinerary with my family through MHmobile portal.


At night, I received a call from my boss asked me to fetch our important client from Hong Kong the next day. I am not really sure how to get to Changi Airport by car. What I did was to locate MAS office at Changi using the MHmobile portal anf followed the google map shown. It was good as I managed to arrived Changi in less than 20 minutes. Besides, I did check a latest flight arrival from MHmobile portal and found that a flight from Hong Kong had just landed in Changi.

After a whole day discussion, I managed to close the deal. I was so happy and it was time to fly back to KL. Without thinking twice, I took my handphone and searched for the best deals and offers exclusively for MHmobile portal user. I've found a pretty cheap ticket and quickly booked it. Actually, I can either hold or buy the ticket, but i chose the latter. I also chose to sit near the emergency door just because I can do that with MHmobile. No other valid reason.haha..

I arrived KLIA in the evening. Waiting for about 20 minutes for my bag, I realized that I have lost it. Yes, the bag full of corporate suits and souveniers. Luckily, I didn't put any other important things in the bag. So, I didn't really care so much. After lodged a report, I went home and had some rest. After 2 days, I checked through MHmobile portal for a baggage tracer and surprised that MAS has found it. I was so excited. Thank you MAS.
