I agree I've flown most carriers to asia and always find that the aircraft generally seem to have seen better days. I remember last year flying to KL with Malaysian airlines in economy. It was a virgin codeshare flight, and without any status I had a joyous 2 hours from check in to go through security in T3 and then a long flight on what was easily the dirtiest aircraft I have ever had the dis-pleasure to travel on. Put me totally off Malaysian I now go via Sin with BA.
