Basing it on what ANA did, I assume MH will progressively roll-out the aircraft starting on it's highest profile, highest yield routes. I assume that will mean KUL-LHR to start.

Any ideas when the new configuration will hit LAX? Based on MH cutting the LAX flights back to five a week, and TG never putting its new configuration 747s on the LAX route, I am fearful that LAX may be one of the last routes to see the new configuration.

Any rumours out there?
I'm curious about this too. VERY curious. I have 2 First Class tickets (using miles) booked for next summer. LAX-KUL then on to China. I'm assuming the China leg will be 2-class 777 which is fine with me, I'm just hoping for nice, new seats in First for the long stretch by then.
