Claim escalated to airline

Unknown

Flew on the 11.45pm flight to KUL from MEL which was direct with no transits. Bag was checked in and scanned around 9.45pm with no issues. Upon landing, my baggage could not be found. Made PIR report around 7am Malaysia time, and clearly stated I was attending a wedding the next day. They told me to buy whatever I needed and to keep receipts to file a claim. They had no updates for more than 24 hours and I called the next day and they told me the bag would arrive at 9pm on the day after my initial flight. With no options left, I had to rent a wedding outfit and buy cosmetics for the wedding. Bag was delivered to house at 3am - 45 hours after landing in KUL. No explanation given.

inadequate compensation for our missed flight

We missed our connecting flight to Penang due to the airline being late to arrive. The delay was 6 hours and we weren’t offered a lounge pass or hotel at the airport. I asked for both/either and was told that the airport hotels were full and we could not get lounge access. The food vouchers we got were not enough to actually cover our meal costs. I asked for more meal vouchers and was told that we’d given what we were entitled to. This was disappointing on many levels as one of our fellow travellers in the group had a broken arm and was in need of rest. I cannot see why we could not have used the lounge as compensation.

Shocking ground staff expierience, after 6 good months flying every 2 weeks

I was not allowed to board my flight, I am gold status and changed lanes, someone had a go at me from ground staff, while talking they asked if i had anything to drink and i said yes i was in the lounge just before. Because they didnt get to lecture me in the way they wanted, they said I needed to take a breathalizer test before being allowed to board, I found this quite strange after been invited to the lounge as i have done for the past 6 months. So they cancelled my whole booking, i got another flight that night to bangkok, when my return flight was ready for check-in i was told the booking was cancelled. Why would my whole booking be cancelled??

The belt & Boarding counter was still open on that time but your staffs are not that much professional & don't know how to behave with customers. They were very rode and regret my request several times.

Would never fly again, horrible service

Horrible experience shame on Malaysia Airlines MH145 25/04/26 original landing time 11.25 am but Flight diverted to Christchurch airport from Auckland due to runway issue . Landed there waited more than 2 hours , was told that we going back to Auckland. Then later on said we are not flying back After that told that go to terminal, going back through domestic flights . Found out that there is no flight going , only booking for hotel !! When our turn came after 2 hours in line then we were told no room !! Book your own at your cost if u want . NO vouchers No food provided My wife and 3 years sick baby now stuck at airport, forced to sleep on chairs at airport How horrible airline can be to do that . At least provide vouchers or food or blankets but nothing Its going to media for sure . Would never fly back in Malaysia in my whole life . Called customer service guy didn’t understand fully, told me your flight landed even when its was diverted.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a highly distressing experience I encountered while travelling with Malaysia Airlines on 28 March 2026 (Booking Reference: DBTZ37).

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a highly distressing experience I encountered while travelling with Malaysia Airlines on 28 March 2026 (Booking Reference: DBTZ37). Passenger Name: Sheeba Ansari Passport Number: I0844482 Flight details: Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Adelaide (ADL MH759 / MH139 At the check-in counter in Ho Chi Minh City, where check-in commenced at approximately 13:40, I was informed by your staff that I could not be allowed to board as your system indicated that I did not hold a valid visa for entry into Australia. This information was incorrect. My student visa was valid until 28 March 2026, and I also held a Bridging Visa B, which was due to come into effect on 29 March 2026. I had all valid documentation with me and attempted to explain this clearly to the staff member. Despite presenting my visa documents, I was refused boarding and was advised to reschedule my flight at my own expense. When I requested escalation, I was told there was no manager available. I also asked for the staff member’s or manager’s name but was informed that no name could be provided and was advised to refer to β€œManager on Duty.” Fortunately, a Manager on Duty who was passing by overheard the situation and intervened. He advised that he would seek confirmation via email regarding my visa status. After a period of waitingβ€”during which I was extremely distressed and uncertain about my situationβ€”it was confirmed that I did indeed hold a valid visa. I was only issued a boarding pass at the time boarding had already commenced. As a result, I had to rush through immigration and security under significant stress and fear of missing my flight. This entire experience was extremely distressing. I was alone in a foreign country, crying and panicking, fearing that I would be stranded and required to pay significant additional costs due to incorrect information provided by your staff. I am deeply concerned that: * Your system did not reflect accurate visa information * Staff failed to properly assess the valid documentation I provided * I was initially denied boarding without appropriate escalation * I was incorrectly advised to reschedule my flight at my own expense * Staff refused to provide identification when requested Given the seriousness of this situation and the emotional distress and inconvenience caused, I request: 1. A full investigation into this incident 2. A clear explanation as to why my valid visa was not recognised in your system 3. A review of staff training and procedures 4. Appropriate compensation for the distress, inconvenience, and risk I was subjected to I would appreciate a prompt response to this matter. Yours sincerely, Sheeba Ansari Email: Sheeba.ansari@gmail.com

awful experience with customer service

flight delayed by 1 hour then firefly treated our pnr as self transfer quoting we had to collect our bags in kuala lumpar go through security and check back in within the hour, obviously that was impossible so we had to purchase new flights because they said there was nothing they could do. We have been emailing since the beginning of January and still no refund or reimbursement for new flights. Customer service is awful denying they are to blame even though booking.com also quote it was a single PNR this should never have happened. We are now having to take legal action

lack of solution and knowledge of customer service

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the customer service I received in relation to my booking for travel from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu originally scheduled for 18 March, with a return flight on 28 March. Due to personal reasons, I was unable to travel on 18 March. When I contacted your customer service team for assistance, I was informed that the only available option was to re‑issue my ticket for a new travel date, and the agent offered me a flight on 30 March, which I accepted and paid the required reissue fee for. However, after the payment was processed and I asked a follow‑up question, the same agent informed me that my original ticket dated 18 March could actually be changed to any date beyond 28 March, meaning my 28 March flight could serve as the first sector, and I could choose a later date for my return. Unfortunately, this crucial option was not communicated to me before I proceeded with the reissue. Because of this lack of information, I unnecessarily changed my scheduled return flight from 28 March to 30 March, incurring both inconvenience and additional expense. Although the agent apologized, the oversight had already caused financial and logistical impact. I kindly request that Malaysia Airlines review this case and consider offering an appropriate resolution, as the incomplete guidance from your customer service directly influenced my decision and resulted in avoidable costs. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

COMPLAINT AGAINST BAD COMMUNICATION/FLIGHT DELAY – MALAYSIA AIRLINES

Dear Sir/Madam COMPLAINT AGAINST BAD COMMUNICATION/FLIGHT DELAY – MALAYSIA AIRLINES You will observe that the letter below contains our complaint to you about our flight to Penang last year. We received suitable compensation. Thank you. However, My brother and his wife were also on the same flight and also received the same treatment as we did. He has therefore asked that I write to you on his and his wife’s behalf to claim the same compensation as both me and my wife received. His letter of consent is attached. Name Mr David Welling and Mrs Linda Welling. Ticket number 2321308919475 and 2321308919576. Booking NBH210 on the same on Flight MH0003 to Penang via Kula Lumpur (KL). β€œWe cannot see the point of writing another letter as all the information about our complaint is contained in my brother Leslie’s letter below. The same problems that they encountered we also encountered. However, if required, my brother Leslie will gladly do so. I have authorised my brother to deal with this matter on our behalf. (I was unaware that Leslie had written the letter of complaint to you as we have, for business reasons, not been in touch since our trip to Penang last year).” David & Linda Welling This is the original letter My wife and I have travelled with your prestigious airline before and normally are quite happy with the excellent service provided. However, on Friday14 February 2025 my wife and I travelled on Flight MH0003 to Penang via Kula Lumpur (KL). E tickets numbers. Mine:2321308919477 and my wife’s (Mrs Susan Welling) number: 2321308919478. Our booking reference number was: N9LKCZ.This flight was due to leave Heathrow at 1025 hrs. Unfortunately, our flight was delayed leaving Heathrow, due, we were informed, to a problem with the β€˜tyre pressure indicators/gages’ in the cockpit. It was not related to the weather. We had already boarded the aircraft and were awaiting take off. If I recall, we were delayed approximately one and a half hours. As a result, of the flight delay, we were late arriving at KL and prevented from reaching our connecting flight to Penang. We landed in KL at approximately 0800 hrs on 15 February 2025. We then taxied to our arrival gate, which took about 15 or so minutes. We then had to disembark from the aircraft which took a further 20 minutes, as we were towards the rear of the aircraft. (We were in seats 36D & 36F). Our connecting flight to Penang was due to leave KL at 0905 hrs. We were directed, by a sign, to gate A13 for our connecting flight. By this time it was approximately 0845 hrs. Boarding for our connecting flight to Penang was stated at 0805! We were also told to go to C13 where a bus would transfer us to A13. Unfortunately, this information proved incorrect, and we were advised to go to C3! We eventually arrived at the correct terminal. We then had to wait at passport control in a queue, which was rather long! Yet again, there was no member of Malaysia Airlines to direct us to A13. As our connecting flight was due to leave for Penang at 0905, we knew we had missed the flight as it was 0945 by this time. We were then advised to go to the re-book desk to see if we could re-book our flight to Penang. Which we duly did. At the re-book desk the Malaysia Airline representative was extremely rude and blamed us for missing the flight saying that our flight had landed at 0800 and we β€œhad plenty of time to catch the flight to Penang”. We informed her that whilst we agreed that the aircraft had landed at 0800 hrs, the aircraft had to taxi to the terminal gate, and we then had to disembark from the aircraft and, as we were sat almost at the rear of the aircraft, it took some time! She dismissed this explanation telling us β€œWell, you were informed to go to gate A13”, rather rudely. She then informed us that our baggage had not been loaded onto the Penang flight, and we had to go to β€œBaggage reclaim”. We asked her where this was and she, again rather rudely, said β€œIt’s well signposted” and waved her arm to the right! She then booked us on a flight and issued us with new boarding passes for a flight leaving, if I recall, at 1340 hrs. She was very surly, grumpy and, it seemed to us, bad tempered. We then set off and eventually found the baggage reclaim office. On arrival at the baggage reclaim office we requested our baggage and were asked to handover our newly issued boarding passes for our flight to Penang. We waited over one or so hours to get our baggage. They kept our boarding passes! We eventually managed to find out where our book- in desk was. We want to bring to your attention the following points for your consideration. 1. No representative for Malaysia Airlines was available to direct us to our connecting flight. This lack of communication was unacceptable to an Airline which prides itself on its service to its customers. If a flight is that late, it is not beyond the wit of man to provide a guide from Malaysia Airlines to the connecting flight area. 2. We are both over 70 years old, I am 78 and my wife is 74. I suffer from Angina and asthma. Running, literally, all around KL airport was not helpful nor conducive for my asthma or my heart. The whole experience was extremely stressful for us both. 3. The Malaysia Airline representative at the re-book desk was very rude, unhelpful and uncooperative. We were deeply concerned over her behaviour toward us and found her demeaner wholly unacceptable. Upsetting, inappropriate and unprofessional. 4. The baggage reclaim staff we unhelpful and were extremely slow at retrieving our baggage as we had to wait an hour or so for our baggage. 5. We had no time to stop and either have a coffee or food, as we spent much time going from one misdirected place to another. We found the whole experience frustrating, exhausting, inconvenient and very stressful. Our experience was far from satisfactory, and we feel compelled to bring this to your attention. We understand that unexpected issues can occur, but I believe that your airline should have done more to ensure to accommodate and communicate with its customers, during this situation. We believe that this falls far short of your usual exceptional customer services. We are expecting to be compensated for the inconvenience caused to both my wife and me. We hope that you will take this matter seriously and investigate these issues thoroughly. I am requesting a prompt response and resolution to our complaints. I appreciate your attention to these matters and hope that a suitable resolution can be reached promptly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely Les Welling Sue Welling Leslie Roy Welling BEM & Mrs Susan Joan Welling

Flight cancelled by 16 hours!

We should travel from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi 21th December. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 6:55 p.m. on December 21. When we got on the plane, it circled the runway for about an hour and a half. Then we were informed that the plane could not take off due to technical problems. We had to leave the plane. After about an hour, the staff informed us that they had fixed the problems and that we could get on the plane again. We boarded and the same thing happened. We circled for about 30 minutes and again the flight staff informed us that the plane still had technical problems and could not take off. We had to leave the plane and collect our luggage. They said that we would fly the next day, i.e. December 22 at 12 a.m. because Langkawi airport could not accommodate us this late. We had to go to a hotel about 20 km from the airport. This means that our flight was more than 16 hours delayed. Why were we allowed to board even though there were technical problems with the plane. I want compensation for all the inconvenience caused by the airline. I also want compensation for the hotel night in Langkawi that I paid for unnecessarily because the airline cancelled our trip. I have contacted them but they would not give me any compensation.

I had a confirmed hotel booking from 20 December to 25 December. Due to the flight delay, I was unable to check in on the 20th and was still charged for that night. As I am new to the country, losing an entire day also meant I was unable to secure further accommodation as planned. I had arranged to meet an agent on the 20th to organise long‑term housing, but he was unavailable after that date and remained on leave until the evening of the 26th. This left me with no choice but to arrange additional accommodation at short notice. During the holiday period, my original hotel was unable to extend my stay, and prices were significantly higher due to Christmas. As a result, I was moved to a partner/sub‑hotel from 25 to 27 December at a higher rate.

My Checked-in Baggage didnt arrive upon my arrival on the 24/Dec/2025. Approached Baggage Claim and lodged a report. Couldn’t make any compensation as the staff are only agent to Malaysia Airlines at HKIA. Disappointed. Waited until the next day, 25/Dec/2025-Christmas Day, no call, messages or email whatsoever update at all. Called them from 615am until 1018am then only been answered. The man claimed to have both my baggage but have no idea when will it be delivered. So I decided to go all the way back to HKIA to collect it myself. Bear in mind the weather was at 15c and I was only having the same attire that I wore during my flight ex KUL that were a T-shirt and a thin pant.(summer casual). My winter clothes were all checked in. I have to go and looked for the agent office then a female staff brought me into the arrival area-Baggage Claim, the same place I lodged my report. I saw both of my baggage were there and claimed. My bag is damaged. My Christmas Day plan was β€˜spoiled’ due to no proper clothes, medicine, makeup, toiletries, etc etc. Totally bad service from Malaysia Airlines. The agent told me I can only make any claims/compensation at Malaysia Airlines home base/HQ in Malaysia when I return. Upon my arrival on the 2/JAN/2026 at KUL I went to Baggage Service Office-AERODARAT at the arrival area to lodged both my baggage delayed claim for KUL/HKG-24/DEC/2025 and Damaged Baggage as well. Until today the 11/JAN/2026, nine(9) long days there’s no updates at all despite I emailed and called them up again after three(3) and five(5) working days. I am totally disappointed and let down by Malaysia Airlines. There’s no service at all. Is this the MALAYSIA HOSPITALITY they claim on their tagline??

Economy

Our flight from Cebu was delayed. The following flight tickets were cancelled. We were given the option to take a flight to Chennai(MAA) airport but as soon as we reached the boarding our pNR was cancelled while the boarding had just started. We were sent Back to the hotel and were asked to take another flight after 24hours. This delay led to a lot of chaos and missed meetings and exhibitions. We had also made arrangements from the Chennai airport to Bangalore which was again an unnecessary expense due to bad management on the airlines part.

Hyderabad-Denpasar

Economy

I was on a trip from 13th Dec to 21st Dec 2025 from India to Indonesia and then to Thailand, before return back to India. Upon my arrival at Denpasar Airport (DPS) in Bali, Indonesia on 13th December 2025, I discovered that my checked-in baggage (Tag No: 0232806641) had not arrived on the scheduled flight. I was travelling in a group of 3 friends, and all our 3 bags were missing. I immediately reported the matter to the airline staff and obtained a Property Irregularity Report (PIR). That same day, 2 bags of my friends were found & delivered. But my luggage is still delayed and missing till today. I have not received any cash or compensation from the airlines. The last time I saw my luggage was when I checked-in at Hyderabad Airport in India. Since the luggage is still missing and undelivered, I had to buy a new suitcase and essential clothes to sustain during my entire vacation. My out of pocket expenses totalled 405 USD (including purchases made in Indonesia and Thailand).

Kuala Lumpur-Shanghai

Economy

My flight was in the morning of 16 November 2025 with the (1) luggage only arriving to me on 18 November 2025. It was to China for which the temperature was in the teens for the first day and the next couple of days and with me was only what I wore, just a t shirt and pants. There were no inner wears nor my toiletries for my contact lenses. However, I did not purchase such items but only a jacket, unaware of the entitlement related to delayed baggages. There were no allowances provided except for just to wait for a call on the whereabouts of my luggage. Immediately after I did not receive my luggage, I filed a PIR as attached.

Bangalore-Johor Bahru

Economy

My friend and I arrived at the airport 2hrs prior to the departure time and reached the checkin counter around 1hr before gate closing. At the gates we were denied boarding by the staff and no reason was provided. They told us they’re looking into it, we stayed there for the next 1hr in which they tried contacting their higher ups and no information was provided to why the server is flagging DNB. As a result we were asked to off board the airport to no fault of ours and no reason provided. I have been contacting the airlines since that day, they took 18-19 days and the issue is still unresolved, they haven’t provided a reason for DNB still and they are refusing to provide a refund. Moreover the trip.com agent I am contacting for refund is also denying DNB saying that it was a no show. All our documents were correct, we double checked them and we had everything needed to board the flight. We got it checked through the airlines staff too, there was nothing wrong with our documents. We were travelling for a month and had a return ticket booked with us, which also is fruitless now and also our hotel booking has not refunded us so far.

What Are the Most Common Malaysia Airlines Complaints?

Malaysia plane

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.
  3. Take notes and photos. Taking pictures of information boards in the airport or screenshots for airline notifications can come in handy. For damaged luggage, photos can make all the difference in the compensation claim. 
  4. Provide details about your incident. Infact, the more the better.
  5. State your expectations in order to resolve the Malaysia Airline complaint to your liking.
