Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 MH4/ 16MAY KUL-LHR is already in the system, to be operated by the 744. After that, MH4/ 18MAY, but not for the rest of that week. And then, the next fight after that is MH4/25May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 She will run non-comercial flight for Domestic route hopefully a test flight to BKI. As for interiors, if I were to expect a B744 I would be quite disappointed. When I last flew with MAS to LHR on B744, I really hoped they retire the fleet ASAP because... you know. yeah you know.

And then, the next fight after that is MH4/25May. Looks like they're only using the plane for the day portion of the flights? (MH4 is fully during the day) So are they flying it back to KL empty or something? What a weird arrangement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mulyadir Fitri 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Hahahaha oh God. It's like they have run out of lights to be fixed into the 744 and they just took whatever they could find in their inventory. I don't know whether to laugh or cry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because I didnt post the return flights doesnt mean the aircraft will fly empty the other way. I thought it would be obvious that there will be an inbound commercial flight ...

I thought they are going to teleport the 744 back to KUL and then teleport the 380 to LHR returning as MH 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timothy 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 "Festival Mode" - Foto Credit Meor MH The first commercial flight is expected on May 16... KUL to LHR (to be confirmed) Thank you Sofian for these exclusive shots !! For anyone worrying about the "color" of the lights, it's actually the shutter speed of the camera capturing the different phases/flicker rates (same on MH's B772). In actual experience it'll be a uniform color Or the system could be in test mode MH4/ 16MAY KUL-LHR is already in the system, to be operated by the 744. After that, MH4/ 18MAY, but not for the rest of that week. And then, the next fight after that is MH4/25May. personally while I'm thrilled at the exterior (but not as much as Hibiscus) , as a frequent flier on the LHR-KUL route .... not so with the non-upgraded interior. Actually rather worried I'll be on the aircraft for 13 hours with cabin products from the last decade !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect so, because the mode lighting is generated by combination red, blue and green (RGB) as you see on the TV Screen and monitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAB probably thinks that the "classic" effect is complete with a classic livery and a classic cabin.... Maybe our own version compare to the Iranian 747SP. Yes, that was my line of thought too - a "classic" aircraft both inside and out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that was my line of thought too - a "classic" aircraft both inside and out. My only complaint is that if they are doing the exterior paint job, may as well do it wholeheartedly, rather than a half-arsed look. Only two items - bring back the Jawi script with blue background and paint the engines cowling silver or grey (ionized metal look will be ideal but have not seen it on any PW powered 747-400) Classic livery and classic interior - once given it will win more complaints than praises. No IFE, back to big screens, Seats may be comfy but good luck with finding the classic 747-200/300 products. What's next? Crew wearing old uniforms and old catering menu to complete with the package? Who would want to endure this kind of product these days? Not to mention how much business sense it makes. Hence virtually no airline with retro livery would want to fit old interior back. Iran Air is a different case. I don't know if complaining has fast becoming a norm for many Malaysians who are not contend with anything given and always want more and more they can bargain for....

RaymondT 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 [flee] is just being sarcastic about the "classic" effect of a classic livery with a classic cabin.Besides, MAS's 747-400's cabin's hard product is the same with that of the 777-200 they just recently retired.
