You mean Premium Economy = the blue seats = Economy Plus?

[Mohd Azizul Ramli 2]

Yes. The description is pretty vague. The spy said it looks like the J seats on the B738. I think she is referring to the colour i.e. blue.

 

The Pinnacle seat looks like this. http://beaerospace.com/products/seating-products/main_cabin_pinnacle/

I wonder if Malaysia Airlines will have any customised holders for phone/tablets. The quality of most IFE screens are worse than most phones/tablets anyway, not to mention the sound/audio quality.

It looks great. It's striking, and I think the wau is finally nicely painted on the tail. I am not sure of the interior - wonder if there is any wow-factor

The cabin products are already known. Same 1-2-1/1-2-2 in J (which gets a lot of flak on this forum for not being revolutionary), and F is supposedly a step back from the A380's (also accused of being a half-baked product).

 

So according to some members, we can conclude that the wow-factor will be limited to the exterior.

MH's A350-900 standard "swoosh" livery.

Rumour has it that this bird with test rego F-WZFG (MSN159) is going to be 9M-MAB.

 

I guess the National Flag bird with test rego F-WZHE (MSN165) is going to be 9M-MAC?

looks smart and it balances the slimmer aft portion of A350 i think, cant wait to test the F seats to PEN during xmas weekend.

Welcome back from wherever you have been. Sorry to burst the bubble but much of the "rumour" is already a fact many, many days (weeks) ago.

I noticed the registrations applied at rear end of both the MH birds we have seen so far has the "F-WZ" portion in bigger font size compared to the "FG" and "HE" parts - also not aligned

Anyone in the know care to share reason for this tardiness on part of the painters over at Toulouse ?

Two stickers with different sizes? And since they are temporary ... they thought they could get away with it ... little do they know natives and residents of some island in the tropics could be so observant ...

Fair enough, I don't really pay too much attention to MH anyway.

Tsk tsk tsk .....

SV, you actually took part in the discussion upthread! Please see: http://www.malaysianwings.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20487&p=375061

Must be because Airbus are trying to chase their delivery targets for 2017.

 

The first set of letters apply to all their test aircraft (they remain the same) - so they print more of them to save costs. The last two letters are more specific and change with each aircraft tested. So they just run off the stickers as and when required.

I did, only about the rego sequence which began from 9M-MAB. But was not really paying attention on which registration will go on the body of the Malaysian flag bird before.
