Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 See:http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6138947 The photo stated 9M-MKI, taken in Nov-07. It shows PTV in Y. Is this correct? (1) I noticed that the curtains still have the pattern used by Sabena although the seat fabric is MH standard. (2) In front of the curtains, the seats appear to protude into the aisle, suggesting biz class seats, meaning the foreground shows the first Y cabin. (3) The only somewhat visible seat number(s) is 29 D,E. On the 332, this is the last middle-seat row of the first Y cabin. On the 333, 29DE is the first row of the 2nd Y cabin, with toilets right infront of them. (4) Lastly in the era (or "error" if you like) of snackboxes in Y, I doubt MH would spend to upgrade the Y cabin of its A333. In fact, an MH survey revealeded that "93% of our customers stated their preference for day-dreaming or reading newspapers as opposed to watching any videos whilst onboard our 5-star-service-at-LCC-cost flights." I think this may actually be one of the A330-200s, which means the aircraft type and regn, as per photo, is incorrect. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmad M 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 No refurbishing had been done to any of the A330-300s. One of the many blunders of MAS management, I would think. It is probably too late now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Looks like one of the A332. I feel that MAS has always regarded its A330-300s as the bas#ard child of the fleet and gave preference to the B747s and B777s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth T 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 I guess it's too late to refurbish the A330s now in view of the fleet is ageing. Why borther to wate such money? MH should concentrate on renewing fleets which incorporates better seats and flexibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H C Chai 4 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 I was on a MH A330 earlier this week on KUL-MLE-CMB. The cabin looks really dated, I thought I have travelled back to the early 90s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That photo has false information...... The portable players are there for biz class only & on the -300 series only. But no new seats. (The -200 series already have in-seat PTVs for all classes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 The least MH could do is to replace all seat cushions. Find many of the seat cushions deflated and very uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 hahahaha... definately not MKI. but it could be one of the leased -300 series we've got 2x leased -300s and 3x leased - 200s chances are this picture is a leased -200 though. too little clues Too little clues? I gave you the clues. The picture was certainly not taken on -MKS or -MKR - the two leased -300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H C Chai 4 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Gosh, was everyone appropriately attired and sporting hairdo's of the period as well ?!! Nah, I dont think anyone was expecting to be transported back to early 90's environment when flying with a 5 star airline In all fairness, although the A330-300 cabin might look dated, the seat pitch in Y is pretty good (34").
