Isaac 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 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 Row 9 and 10 are actually Y+. Just that the seat map is way off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V Wong 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 calling resident guru - for single traveller, which is the better - single or throne seat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 I would think that the Throne Seats if available, is great if you need the 2 side panels to keep/place your things...if your aim is to sleep...I would choose the Single seats...closer to the window...for privacy... Just saying...haven't had the chance to try it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 for single traveller, which is the better - single or throne seat? Singles that have the console on the window side - have a bit more open space for the feet to sleep sideways. Big advantage over the thrones. People generally think the thrones are the best and all - but they're terrible for sleeping in, and the double consoles hem you in width wise. Very quickly fell out of love with those early on.

Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 Any notable difference between first row throne versus other rows' thrones? 4K and 6K are identical. 1K on the other hand, has a squarer and larger footwell, which is good. 1K also has a small area or gap forward of the console on the window side at floor level, behind the bulkhead - which I find useful for putting things like handbags in. 4K and 6K do not have this. Big minus of 1K vs the other thrones is that there's a galley light that shines pretty much straight at your face. It's very annoying on a night flight if the curtain isn't drawn and people tend to bump into the seat complex when returning from the lavatory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 I will just settle over any J seat over Y any day..... Sadly, this isn't a J vs Y situation. This is about getting the best seat on a J ticket which you've paid good money for. As Suzanne has explained in great detail, not all seats are created equal.

RaymondT 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 Throne seat on the first row is a must if you're a single traveller.People bumping into your seat is not as bad as it would be on seat 1D (as this seat is misaligned from the aisle entrance).You get a much better foot well and it does not feel as claustrophobic. I found the standard seats to be small-ish. Throne seats also offers plenty of storage to keep all your items nearby for handy access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
