Sofa Bed
As this is a low-cost airline, there was no lounge, so after passport control, I lay down on a wide sofa, like a sofa bed, located on the second floor.

Premium Flatbed
This is the Premium Flatbed seat. It looks like a standard large seat. Despite the name “Flatbed,” it doesn’t recline a full 180 degrees, but about 170 degrees. Because of that, when lying down, the body tends to slide downward. Still, since you can stretch out, it’s much more comfortable than a regular seat.
In-flight Meal
Top
Nasi Lemak (1)
As a Premium Flatbed passenger, I was served an in-flight meal: Nasi Lemak, a traditional Malaysian dish. “Nasi” means “rice” in Malay. In Malaysia, this is more common than plain white rice. It is cooked with coconut milk and salt, and infused with aroma using local leaves.
Nasi Lemak (2)
This is the Nasi Lemak after removing the lid.
The rice was served with side dishes such as an egg dish resembling shredded omelet, along with stewed goat meat and vegetables.
