JimboJ 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 Just wondered if anyone has any feedback on the upper deck 'kid free' Y class? Is this actually being enforced as I can find no mention on the MAS website? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Linehan 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2012 I hope so as my wife and I are booked to fly to KL in early February. We had an awful flight back from KL to LHR some years ago when two, yes two, high school orchestras and choirs (kids aged between 12 and 17) numbering around fifty to seventy in total were seated directly behind us on an MAS 744. Their teachers and guardians did nothing on the overnight flight to stop them running around and shouting throughout the whole flight. I must add that the kids were from Australia, not Malaysia. Had it been Malaysian students I am sure their behaviour would have been much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their teachers and guardians did nothing on the overnight flight to stop them running around and shouting throughout the whole flight In battle of youthful exuberance vs crippling jetlag, I guess the former won hands down in your experience I guess we've been very fortunate so far The worst being a pair of bearded, burly looking, squabbling and seemingly intoxicated couple seated directly in front of us LGW-mid east (cannot remember where) But also had the pleasure of being seated next to a very well behaved, smiley, bubbly baby DXB-LHR I'm quite firm as to whose company was more pleasant - win some, lose some I say Edited September 15, 2012 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if I can get seat A and C upstairs in economy, once I get my headphones on I shall be very happy. Love playing mahjong on MAS!

John Linehan 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2012 AFAIK you have to phone up MAS and they are charging extra for upstairs seating. Check the charges on the MAS website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimboJ 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2012 Anyone know how to select seat on the upper deck on MAS website ? I made a booking on a MAS A380 flight and the seat selection only show lower deck On the seat plan on the booking form, the upper deck is shown at the top, before the lower deck below. It looks like one deck but the text indicates upper and lower. Hope that helps.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 17, 2012 Love playing mahjong on MAS! The way some people here conduct their mahjong sessions, if transplanted onboard ......... If so, one will be even less welcomed as a fellow passenger than a screaming, scratching, retching kiddo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, SYD is the next destination. MH is integrating itself into the oneworld alliance, so priority has to go to oneworld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted September 23, 2012 Only if MH is willing to need North America bound MH pax to JL. I don't see any problem with that - MH only flies to LAX after all, and only 4x a week. Besides, it's a 2 way street - AA can feed their SEA bound pax via MH in addition to JL.

I don't think so. Too many issues with A380 flying to both SYD and NRT. I wouldn't be surprised if MAS changed their mind again. Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see. My problem is that I still love the 744 aircraft and it is going out of system soon. Double daily A380 to London maybe ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 MH will have its third and fourth A380s by November - so SYD and NRT are definitely coming on line. LHR will be a A380 x 1 and B772 x 1 service once the B744s are retired on 25 Nov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
