Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 Any info which bird is in line right now? Delta and Kilo haven't flown for a few days. If i were to guess either of those two will go next. The current refurb fleet is 11 out of 15 - only Delta, Echo, Foxtrot and Kilo haven't had them yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 Too bad...MH 66/67 will only receive the new seats on the 29th this month... By the way, how many toilets are allocated for J in the new cabin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the lavatories - yeah 1 for 27 is kinda crowded especially just before landing. The IFS sometimes blocks the rear starboard lav for J pax, so it's not so bad.

One in front, two at the back of the J cabin which is somewhat shared It's an IFS call usually. The two at the back of the J cabin, depending on the load are assigned like this: The port one is usually a Y lav. The starboard one is designated a J lav if the J load is heavy, Y if J is light. Doesn't stop J pax from using either of the 2 if they so wish. You'll know by the amenities they put inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 But isn't there a supposed Premium Economy directly behind J now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jahur 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) But isn't there a supposed Premium Economy directly behind J now? Supposedly has an extra 2 inches of leg room everything else is Y in terms of seat and servings. My FA friend have told me most of the crew that are assigned on J have a dislike on it as the J kitchen galley is behind this supposed row, so everytime they roll out the inflight meal pax would always ask are those their meals On another note the new J seats reception has been mostly polorized. Most of the complaints are the issues with leg room when the seat goes fully reclined an average caucasian or 6 footer would have to curve their knees and sleep sideways which could be bothersome for some.

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 Ya...back then the J cabin goes further back...going right into the washrooms...now if the one behind the cockpit is occupied...J pax would have to pass 2 rows of Y to get to the WC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted October 18, 2016 I asked an IFS on what the actual toilet allocation system on the 333. For now, yes - it is confusing. Going forwards, once Y+ is officially launched, both toilets at the back will be both J but Y+ will also have access to them. Y- will not. But it is a compromise given the still odd layout and having to deal with curtains and the Y+ crowd etc as one moves through cabins. (So apart from extra inches added to pitch, Y+ pax may be able to luxuriate in J toilet amenities). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wake up about an hour before landing on a MH88/149/123 or similar - and right now there's a chance you don't get to brush your teeth thanks to the queues.

For seat configuration, you can try to refer this but bear in mind that this config doesnt include with Y+ https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Malaysia_Airlines/Malaysia_Airlines_Airbus_A330-300_V2.php Edited October 27, 2016 by Wan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
