Malaysia Airlines

Seat on two out of 4 flights that I did from Perth to UK would not recline. Old planes with poor fitting. Time they were replaced.

When the front seat reclined I was unable to access my tray. No TVs on these aircraft. There are 2 different standards for Economy Class. For Europe and Australia the seats are comfortable and cabin crew usually friendly with good service. For Asian destinations the A330s are less comfortable poor service and cranky cabin staff.

Board their latest B737-800 with the new Livery. Economy Class seat pitch was not ideal for flights more than 4 hours as it is in 30 inch pitch. However Reclining was good enough. Boeing Sky Interior design and lighting did made an impressive mood vibe to the entire cabin. Inflight Entertainment is touch screen and entertaining throughout the flight.

Try to get one of the 4 seats in the middle. On the first leg of our journey we where put on the last row in the middle which was a little better. A little more comfort to get out of your chair and possibility to stand up a bit near the emergency exit.

The seats on the A330-200 differ to their B777-200 and B747-400 in that they seem to be harder making it less comfortable. There is still a decent amount of legroom and recline but less than on their other long-haul aircraft.

Good seat pitch TV screen good seat a bit uncomfortable without cushions to sit on access okay. What you would expect for an economy seat but the best for seat pitch.

Overall the seat was okay but the seat recline was a disappointment.
