Malaysia Airlines

The new B737-800s (MX series) seats were generally average or so to say partially better than the old B737-400s. Seat pitch and width were average. Personal space is definitely not one of the aims of the new product. The PTV was a nice addition though not all the B737-800s are fitted with them (ML series had a rather awful looking cabin and quite uncomfortable seats). Food was generally good nothing to complain about. Overall satisfactory for short haul flights but anything more than 3 hours might be a problem. Will try to avoid this Malaysia Airlines aircraft for medium haul flights.

Don't expect a very comfortable experience in Economy Class! I'm quite short so Legroom was excellent but the entertainment box juts right in my space! When people recline they are right in your face. You can adjust the screen but it just disgusting - you can barely see it! Very unusual and bad experience having to see people sit in a 2x5x2 layout in B772. Seated in 35A. Flight MH131. My first time travelling was with Malaysian but it has downgraded since. Recommended for short-haul and staff service but not seat comfort on B777-200s.

These comments relate to extra legroom seats in economy row 42. We had to pay for them but they were worth it on a long flight (LHR to KUL and return). Loads of space and no toilets close by so quiet. The extra leg room seats further back had toilets close by and had less space in front. Also row 73 which has two seats only on each side has no windows close by. The leg room generally looked okay but not over generous.

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.
