Visa, never leave home without it, sadly
Having visa problems at the last minute--such as while you're checking in--is never fun. Nor amusing. You try to make the most of it...
One and a half hour closer to not being able to make your flight, you'll naturally begin to wonder if it's the universe and its retribution due to these frequently odd occurences. Running up and down KLIA from 3rd floor (ticket counter) to 5th (departure hall) was never anticipated.
Various outraged customers/flyers yelling at airport staff only helps you keep calmer. You ask yourself if you sound like that huge angry gentleman with the ponytail and hat raising his voice, and your Self comforts you and says "No, you were misunderstood but please choose your words more carefully because the help might misinterpret it."
It's written that you have to be at the gate/terminal a good half hour before take-off; that's merely a suggestion. We were 20-25 minutes shy of that half hour and were the last few people to be seated.
Next time: Check if your visa is issued under your new or old passport to avoid any complications.
