Tak Tahan Jalan Jauh di @MY_Airports klia2

Jauhnya... Itu lah yang orang cakapkan bertapa jauhnya nak berjalan dari pintu masuk hingga la sampai ke pintu pesawat. (At least only some people say that while the others says its not unusual)

It is a fact that jarak dari pintu masuk ke pintu pesawat untuk klia2 adalah lebih kurang 1.1 kilometer manakala KLIA adalah lebih kurang 1.2 kilometer. Bezanya adalah KLIA ada banyak Walkalator manakala klia2 ada yang di jejambat itu sahaja (atau ada juga di tempat lain yang saya belum lalu).

But hey, its an airport la. Walking that distance is normal. I don't hear people complaining about walking equivalent to 8 kilometers distance at Pavilion Shopping Complex or 4 kilometers at a pasar malam.

But some people complaint about the distance and it goes something like this...
COMPLAINEE: Kawan saya ni tak larat jalan jauh, dia baru jer buat knee surgery few weeks ago. How come MAHB langsung tak peka buat airport 4billion Ringgit tapi tak mampu buat Walkalator yang mencukupi. (Hello...! Kalau nak buat Walkalator banyak-banyak for your injured friend, the airport would have cost 7billion I tell you)

STRANGER: Yer la kan, apa la dorang ni langsung takde otak la kan. Buat cantik tu dah cantik dah tapi resposibility to the public takde awareness langsung. (Malu bertanya sesat berjalan, if you'd asked for a wheel chair at the information counter, they would provide it for free if you meet the less-abled features. They even provide free buggy service for the less abled. With this you don't have to pay RM60 at AA)

COMPLAINEE: OK lah saya nak gerak ke gate nanti terlepas flight pulak. Tadi rancangnya nak datang awal tapi bini suruh beli sayur pulak tu yang masa singkat tu. Hehehehe (its all about time management, you know your pace, come early to airport is better.)

STRANGER: OK la Pakcik, jalan elok-elok. Pakcik naik flight ni nak pergi mana?

COMPLAINEE: Owh... Kawan Pakcik ni dia nak pergi berjalan-jalan melancong kat Gunung Merapi... Sekali sekala la kata kan. (Hah...! That you can walk, but you can't walk a short distance at the airport. Pity you.)

End of plot.

If you go to any other airports overseas, you still have to walk... Because its an airport. It you are not fit to travel, stay home and watch Travel Channel.

Masa LCCT masih beroperasi dulu, siapa antara anda yang pernah ada pengalaman di sana? Berapa jauh untuk kita berjalan daripada pintu masuk ke pintu pesawat? Jalan ikut atas tarmac lagi. Berapa jauh anda agak-agak? People don't realize this.

I think our National Landmark klia2 is just fine and by time its going to get better.

End.
