Singapore to Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian airlines or Srilankan Airlines

The flight is about 200 miles and takes about 35 mins. The aircraft type makes little difference!

There are some people who do not like single aisle jets (even amongst us on here)

I do not like flying on single aisle jets even for a simple SYD-BNE flight if there is a choice. I prefer the 767 and book all my flights on the 767's. I hate it when QF substitutes a 734 or 738 and does not give me a choice to change flights.

Another reason why I do not fly DJ that often on that route.

Its public transport on which you will spend less time than many people spend on a single aisle bus or train to and from work each day.

I would take MH. Only because they have the highest frequency on the route, perhaps equal to or just about to SQ and AK.

In the end, all of it is a non-affair. It's a flight that is hardly even SYD-CBR. Aircraft type doesn't really matter. Inflight service (if it even exists) won't matter. Cost would be pretty much the only deciding factor (putting safety concerns aside, but the airlines on that route shouldn't have such issues).

Inflight service (where it exists) is basically a drink (and non-alcoholic at that).

Given the choice between Sri Lankan and Malaysian, I would go with Malaysian simply as the frequency means they should be able to recover from any problems better.

Thanks for all the replies
When 'mannej' replied advising to avoid 734's I became a bit worried as to the reason why.
I'm glad to know that reason was due to being a single aisle, which I don't have a problem with .

Being unfamiliar to aircraft type and layout I started to think I had to avoid 734's for 'known' mechanical issues.
