nrazmoor 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2012 correct me if im wrong... but i think it is a doable to combine KUL-AMS with KUL-MEL(another potential route) on alternate basis... and maybe thy can slot in Hong Kong or Shanghai/Beijing in between to optimize the A380 usage. Not sure about KUL-LAX... tho im also hoping they fly the superjumbo to that route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmad M 1 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 As of last week, the A380 will do daily MEL starting November (morning departure ex KUL). The A330 will then replace the 777 on the SYD route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you hear/read this? That's great news! This will mean that all services to Australia will be using new aircraft. SYD and MEL will be getting the A380 and A33E and BNE, ADL and PER will have the A33E. Most complaints about MH on Skytrax is about old aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So thats mean they will not do double daily to SYD with A380? If so, its a good move i think.., not sure how they can fill it up if they do 2x daily with A380.

I have a look again on MH A380 seat map layout: http://www.malaysiaa...nce/A380_lo.pdf First reaction again was a Yawn!!.......their configuration is really standard.....no "oomph" factor at all...this is my honest opinion. Can anyone tell me what is their selling point for A380? No babies in first class and no babies/children in the upper deck of economy class. That's the selling point of their A380. I agree that there's no wow factor on the MH A380. SQ has the suites, EK have the showers, KE have the duty free shop, QF have the bar/lounge. Mind you, the A380s of CZ, AF and LH are pretty standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimboJ 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2012 I think it's too late to put premium economy into the A380 now... But why when I do a dummy booking in November is the upper deck economy and front of lower economy shown as Premium? I was allocated upper deck economy seats by chance when I booked months ago so not sure what to expect?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheng Long 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2012 The first two A380s are rolling out pretty soon, but they can add premium economy to the rest. But of course, it's matter of spending more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted May 6, 2012 If I recall correctly, the first four A380s are already in Hamburg for interior fitting. The first one is already complete and have already made test flights with the interior. The second one should be complete anytime now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
