Anybody willing to reveal what happened to MH2 on 5th November? I can find no mention anywhere!

Anybody know what happened to MH2 yet? I see that MH3 is delayed today as a result...

On the seat plan on the booking form, the upper deck is shown at the top, before the lower deck below. It looks like one deck but the text indicates upper and lower. Hope that helps....

Just wondered if anyone has any feedback on the upper deck 'kid free' Y class? Is this actually being enforced as I can find no mention on the MAS website?

Seems they've made up some time with MH3 only four hours late out of LHR today.

Found this - doesn't elaborate on what the fault is though... http://www.malaysiaairlines.com.my/hq/en/site/travel-advisory/a380.html?height=300&width=550&TB_iframe=true

I actually love it! Clean, clear, sharp lines against the white body and I think it's really rather contemporary. Reminds me of the classy feel I associate with Emirates or Singapore. Can't wait to board in November!

Anybody know when we will catch our first glimpse of the giant complete with the finished livery?

I think that is one for Syed A! I believe there is one per two seats in Y but exactly where it is I'm unsure I'm afraid!

Superb pics Syed A Ridhwan. Thank you! I recall when I flew QF A380 they had both a tail cam and an underbody cam. A great add-on, making the journey all the more interesting! I love the MAS interior despite some of the negative comments. Everyone is entitled to their view though of course. What makes a flight for me is a comfortable interior, a friendly and attentive crew, nice food and a quiet cabin! Let's see if it lives up to my hopes in child-free upstairs Y!

Thank you Mushrif A. I think I maybe got lucky then as my upper Y seats were booked/confirmed before the cabin was shown as premium!

Thank you for clarifying this. Is upper Y still child free and what does 'premium' mean when reserving seats online? Thank you!

Well I checked this morning and Premium was still there, with no restriction on kids! I'm not having a dig at MAS but it's just that I have no idea exactly what I have booked in November - Premium? With/without kids?

Well said Sweekee. So many people so quick to moan about everything. Yes MAS aren't the first to have A380, the livery's not complete and the colour scheme isn't to everyone's taste, but it looks awesome and I'm sure will be a hit regardless. I for one can't wait to board in November!

Any further word on Premium Economy? Everything suggests it was scrapped so why does the seating plan when booking still show it?! Also there seems to be no restriction on booking kids in upper deck economy... Was that idea scrapped too? Thanks

But why when I do a dummy booking in November is the upper deck economy and front of lower economy shown as Premium? I was allocated upper deck economy seats by chance when I booked months ago so not sure what to expect?!

Sorry, meant to say my point is that from everything I've read I thought Premium Economy on MAS A380 had been scrapped?!

Hi all. I'm flying LHR-KUL on the A380 in November and when I booked luckily seem to have been allocated seats in the new quiet/child free upper deck economy zone! I've looked on the website again today doing a dummy booking and upstairs Y and downstairs at the front of Y are now showing as 'premium' seats, which are charged an extra fee! What's the story here? Was I just lucky as I booked early before the child free zone was announced?! Thanks!
