1h20 unprotected connection at KUL?

They have a 5yo and checked luggage. I’ve convinced them to book a backup ticket later but they seem to still think it will be fine.

Did they actually book this backup and, if so, were they in time for this backup?

They did and would have been as I said to ask for an mh replacement instead of the SQ they were given.
But they didn’t so they missed the new ticket too. So into ticket number 3

80 minutes with a terminal transfer and involving Air Asia.

There was no chance that was ever going to work. I wouldn't even risk it if no terminal transfer was required.

I wonder if there might have been a naive belief that if they had missed the AK flight due to delays etc. that they could cheekily ask AK to be reaccommodated on the next flight free of charge.

Sometimes experience is a better teacher than knowledge (as can the loss of a couple of hundred dollars).
