Kenn Leong 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone know if all 772 MH aircrafts have been retrofitted? Im travelling on MH88 in December KUL-NRT.. Is there any chance i can see "Freedom of space" on this route? Also for the KUL-NRT is it a 772 or 772ER? Thanks, K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chan CS 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 MH has only B777-200ER, they don't have B777-200 to my understading. And whether or not you can get "freedom of space" depends on you luck, so good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 yes. I think if i've not mistaken all 747 and 777 have been retrofitted already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V Wong 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 KUL-NRT uses retrofitted 777 with new business class, complete with mood lighting etc... very cute Japanese FAs onboard as well. Not sure if 'freedom of space' is used for this route, but I was fortunate to be on it for a KUL-EWR trip last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 All MH's B772 are of the Extended Range (ER) version. There are 17 of them, all of which are retrofitted. Have a look at MH's latest fleet page. Based on the photo database in Airliners.Net, 9M-MRD was spotted in around 210 locations worldwide, where none of it was snapped in NRT. I guess that should show your chances in getting the Heliconia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenn Leong 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks for the info guys Well it looks like my chances of Heliconia going to NRT is very slim But at least all 772ER's are retrofitted I take it all 744's are also retrofitted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Teh 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 We've photograhped MRD's rotation for NRT (the morning flight) a couple of times already, chances are there to have it on dispatched for NRT, but i heard it is due for Checks soon. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 ..... in Airliners.Net, 9M-MRD was spotted in around 210 locations worldwide, ..... Could it be you mean 210 pics of 9M-MRD in a.net database ? It would be quite amazing if the bird has been flown to 210 different airports - I could be wrong though. Or could it be one airport with many locations, eg on different runways, on taxiway, at hangar etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Aircraft are deployed randomly I believe . No particular one for a particular route as they are all the same . MRD is now going through C check Out 2 or 3 days before Raya Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 but I was fortunate to be on it for a KUL-EWR trip last year. I was even more fortunate to fly on Heliconia on MH's DOMESTIC run, MH 5 KUL-KCH on 25 November 2005. At that time, MH still operates the KCH-KUL-FRA flight. I take it all 744's are also retrofitted? No. If you read the page I suggested thoroughly, you'll find out that out of the 11 B744s that MH operates, 2 of them were not retrofitted; 9M-MPK (Johor Bahru) and 9M-MPM (Melaka). Could it be you mean 210 pics of 9M-MRD in a.net database ? It would be quite amazing if the bird has been flown to 210 different airports - I could be wrong though. Or could it be one airport with many locations, eg on different runways, on taxiway, at hangar etc ? Well, in A.Net, Helicornia was most photographed in ZRH and ARN. But 9M-MRD's most beautiful photos were captured in ADL, that was during one of its first flight with the new skin and co incidentally, it arrived in ADL as the first aircraft in ADL's new international terminal. It was welcomed with water canon salutation! Have a look at ALL MRD's photo pages in A.Net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also i noted for MH95 which is the flight i will be taking it seems all the flights are on retrofit 744's. Meanwhile MH94 MPM(non retrofit) is appearing! I'm not going to fly MH94 however.
