A slow morning, maybe I need to go back to bed and start my day again.
Same here initially, thought MH meant Malaysia Airlines J, haha. Then checking further up I finally realized we were talking about SQ Regional J (RJ) or I guess more frequently referred to as MH (Medium Haul). I guess I need to make my morning coffee stronger
.
Having said that, I did have the "pleasure" to fly to FUK, to KIX on the SQ medium haul J on overnight flights as well as plenty of day flights (mainly KIX, FUK, DPS, etc ).
Interestingly for me, I find the seat "okay", not awesome and I would second some of the bedding and such shortcomings that SMK77 highlighted, but I can manage. I did find the seat "entrance" tight even for a normal build person and always lower one of the armrests (the wider one), but else the overall space works for me even at 1.8m height.
Sleeping comfort isn't brilliant, but I have some gripes with the 2013 J long haul seat as well and the 2017 J long haul on the A388 is very firm (sleeping surface wise).
What bugs me more on those Japan overnights is the short sleeping time even if I skip meal and all that as the cabin takes a while to calm down (even with earplugs in) and wakes up way too early for my taste to serve meals for folks who didn't eat at 2am. So sleep may only be 3-4hrs which is not great. Just a few weeks ago I took the morning SIN-KIX departure instead even if some of the day is wasted. Seat and meal timings and such work much better for me on the day flight. YMMV.
Back to the schedule changes topic then.
