Low Cost Carrier Terminal
We went to Medan last week; it was a family holiday, 16 of us on the Air Asia air-plane. An exciting journey; but let me tell you about the Low Cost Carrier Terminal before proceeding with stories about Medan.
It is a low cost terminal, nothing more. The services and the facilities is a big statement saying, ‘this is what you get when you pay cheap price ticket’.
The location
Far from the city, the only way to get there with a public transport is to take a bus from KL Central. If you have small children and big luggage you need to add RM120(taxi) into your budget. Unless you wouldn’t mine asking friends to send you there.
Airport food
There’s a McDonalds beside the entrance door, selling the value meals RM3 to RM4 higher than your local McD, why? Apparently ‘airport rate’ is the popular answer, but the set-up and the staff was more the less the same with the outlet in Teluk Intan or even worse (Teluk Intan takde McD). The restaurants floor was slippery due to the food and drinks on the floor along with the small space in between tables which is just good enough for ‘flyweight’ boxer.
Check-in girls
They really hate their job; a conclusion that you can make if you see the staff at the check-in counter. They don’t smile, not even looking at me while asking about the bags and passport. All I can see was their thick-striking-multi colored eye-shadow.
The Restroom
A bit stinky for an airport; but it was ok compared to the toilets in Teluk Intan Bus-Station.
Boarding hall
To all smokers; forget about your fag the moment you checked-in. There’s no smoking room coz it might add another million to the building cost of 108 million. Remember, this is a low cost airport; so bring along your own cheap chair into the boarding gate because the number of chairs are limited. Make sure you bring some books and food into the waiting room; it could be a long-long wait before they open the gate.
I’ll post some photos taken in Medan tomorrow.
