The airport procedures at KLIA were slick and simple. The 777-200 flight saw us with personal video screens and hardly any other passengers to share them with. The crew were friendly and obliging and a few Aussie reds and an ale or two much enjoyed.

The Australian customs people took no action on the 53 DVDs in my luggage.
