The thought of flying along the flight path from KL to London which was fairly close to the route taken by MH17 which was shot down in Ukraine did cause a bit of apprehension. That disaster happened just 24 days ago at the time we boarded the flight to London on 10 August! But then it was reassuring to know that the risk of being blasted off from the sky would have been neutralized by the incidence of MH17. I believed that whoever is involved in the flying business would have been extra careful after that disaster.
Our flight path against the ill-fated MH17
Flying in a Boeing 777-200 is indeed a reassuring experience in that one has a full frontal view of the plane at both take off and touch down.
The direct flight constrained us inside the plane for 13 hours and 10 minutes. However, I personally still prefer a non-stop flight rather than be stuck in transit in a mid-journey airport for 6 or 8 hours!
