The benefits of flying on a commercial airlineCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks It certainly appears to be that way. There is only 1 flight to Macau from Kuala Lumpur and one flight back. Miss either and you are in trouble! Also the flight there and back was relatively empty. Makes you wonder if they’ll be scrapping it [...]
