What Are the Most Common Malaysia Airlines Complaints?

Lots of things can go wrong during a flight, but some are more common than others and also more likely to result in a compensation payout.

• Flight delays: Based on the distance of your flight, you could be entitled to a maximum of £520 (€600) in flight delay compensation if you left from an EU or UK airport. 
• Cancelled flights: Anytime your flight is cancelled with less than 2 weeks notice, you could be entitled to compensated similar to what you’d get for a delayed flight
• Lost or damaged baggage: What if the airline loses or damages your luggage? Well, you could get as much as £1,300 (€1,700) depending on your specific route and exchange rates.
• Denied boarding: When you’re bumped because the flight was oversold, you could be in line for as much as £520 (€600) in compensation.
• Unhelpful Customer Service: If you are unhappy with any aspect of your Malaysia Airlines experience, a complaint may elicit some form of compensation like vouchers or other discounts. 

Malaysia Airlines Complaints: Before You Begin

Airlines receive countless complaints, so if you leave out any information, you probably won’t get your desired outcome. As such, here are some things to consider.

1. Check and double check your contact details so that the carrier can easily get in touch.
2. Gather all your booking details and travel documents like your boarding pass, baggage tags, and anything else to support your claim.
