moanhos - I take your point(s) !!!.
Interested to see you were also on a 777. I see the MH aircraft in AMS regularly (I think it's there for about 5 hours a day)and it always seems to be a 744. Do they still sometimes use a 777 ?.
I cannot understand why KL elite status seems to hold little or no sway with MH bearing in mind how important they are to each other. S.E. Asia and Australasia are vast markets and MH are KL's only way of getting their pax around the area and v-v for MH's European pax.
Having said that I'm an Enrich member and that's pretty useless so it shouldn't be a surprise.
