Routes : Singapore - Yangon - Mandalay and Mandalay - Yangon - Singapore.
Airline : Golden Myanmar Airlines.
Inflight Service : Service is excellent. The air hostesses and air stewards are passionate about their work. They are always on smiles, unlike Jetstar, AirAsia and Tigerair cabin crew.
Inflight Magazine : Eazyfly is provided onboard for reading and may be kept as a souvenir of a Golden Myanmar Airlines flight. Information about Myanmar customs and immigration are helpful. For instance it is the only travel media to announce MasterCard and VISA debit cards are accepted for cash withdrawals at CB Bank outlets in Myanmar.
Postcard / Stationery : Aircraft postcards and stationery items are not available onboard or its offices, including the Head Office. However like other airlines flying to Yangon, Golden Myanmar Airlines issues arrival cards or copies of arrival cards showing the airline logo and departure cards showing the same logo upon checking-in at Yangon International Airport.
Sky Shop : Although Golden Myanmar Airlines mentions duty-free items are available onboard, the crew never brings out the shopping cart for passengers' selections. This is very good news for budget travellers.
Onboard Meals and Refreshments : Onboard meals cannot be ordered on-line. They can be ordered during booking at travel agents and airline sales offices . Hot meals are served much faster than Tigerair and other major LCCs of Asia-Pacific. Prices of refreshments, drinks and hot meals are the lowest in the region. Be sure you have the correct amount of cash to pay for meals and refreshments although a cabin crew may decline to accept 1 US Dollar more if there is not enough change.
Surcharge : Passengers are required to pay a sudden surcharge of 6 US Dollars to 10 US Dollars for changing a seat onboard. For example, if you want to change from Seat 5A to Seat 1A at the Exit Row, a surcharge of 10 US Dollars must be paid.
Booking : Electronic tickets are issued via email or at sales offices upon payment confirmation via cash, debit cards or credit cards. Terms and conditions are not forwarded by email, however.
Overall Impression : A LCC that can be the best in Southeast Asia.
Status of Airport Office address : Golden Myanmar Airlines' Changi Airport office has changed unit number to 04-18 although its Head Office refuses to change the error 04-8 on its brochures to this unit number.
