For the first time, I flew on MASwings on my flight to Kota Kinabalu and so far, it was a pretty good flight. I’m not big fan of forker or smaller planes because of its light nature but half an hour won’t bother me much on a smaller plane (ATR72-500) via MASwings. The flight took an estimated 35 minutes from BSB to KK and vice-versa. The flight was smooth (maybe because of the perfect weather) and the ATR72-500 doesn’t really fly high up the sky either. So you will indeed experience bird-eyes view from the plane.
This is good for those residing in Brunei and Sabah as they have alternative times and services apart from Royal Brunei Airlines. This also would mean better economic growth in terms of tourism between Brunei and Sabah. MASwings will also be revising their prices after their promotional fare of $116 (KK return) in order to keep up with the competition. So do be scared for the moment when you see the prices in May is fairly expensive on MASwings website.
I attended the press conference and the welcoming dinner hosted by the Sabah delegation in commemorating the inaugural flight of MASwings. Also present was Sheikh Jamaluddin, CEO of Brunei Tourism Board. He spoke off the synergy between MASwings and Brunei Tourism Board and both parties have come up with five-year masterplan pending the approval of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. Now that should be interesting.
Thank you to MASwings for inviting me for the inaugural flight between KK and Brunei.

I was getting ready to board the flight. By the way, no bridge was used to board the passengers as the plane was pretty small

Pretty good leg room too
Our Tourism Board CEO was also on board
I didn’t realize De No was that tall (for the ATR72-500)
They even provide snacks for the 30 mins flight
I was taking photos with my phone half way through the flight and amazingly someone was trying to call me but I didn’t pick up *lol*
Great view from above
