My very first flight was on Emirates Flight EK409 from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur almost 12 years ago. It holds a lot of memories and actually the departure time was at 3:40am and arriving into KL at 8:30am. Unfortunately, Emirates ditched the Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur route in 2016 and afterwards I would take Emirates Flight EK405 to Singapore and connect onwards with Malaysia Airlines to Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, it is such a shame that Emirates will ditch this route after 28 years since operating it in 1996! I guess the next time I take Emirates, I will be flying to Dubai!
One of a few 5th freedom flights that provides a real service. I wish they also used an A380 for this route, but I know it'd be hard for the airline to do so as not many passengers would fly a 5th freedom flight. The cabin was good, but for the past, and for now it need to be retrofitted to be better
Thanks for watching @TripReportaviation! I remember when they used an A380-800 as I rode it in 2018! It's a shame they will be discontinuing this route sometime next year :( Such a great alternative to the usual Qantas or Singapore Airlines.
