Everyone has to get off the plane, and transiting passengers have to clear security before re-entering the holdroom. But then it's immediately time to leave the concourse (where there is some duty free shopping and cafes) and into the smaller, service free holdroom area. Where it's also hot. Even though it's quite cool outside in Stockholm.
The interesting thing about it from an airport perspective is that not many people spent much money while in-transit, and some didn't have a chance at all... They just did the off-the-plane-through-security-back-to-the-holding-pen circuit. So if in-transit flights are meant to stimulate retail and duty free purchases, this one is not a good example.
However, I have lots of good things to say about Malaysia Airlines onboard hospitality. The in-flight service is great, the flight attendants are friendly, efficient, and professional. the food has been OK so far... (I'd say it's nothing to write home about, but, well, here we are, right?)
We're back on board now, almost ready to go to KL. That has been my Friday.
