Just flew 2 regional segments with the brand new and shiny A330.
Quite nice experience altogether.
Seat a bit hard but ok. Hard to get in the position you want. IFE quite nice. Some movies can be shown in either 4:3 or 16:9. Only need to click on the 16:9 button.
Food nice. Good wine selection. Crew cheery on both occasions.
NB: stewards had new uniform. Grey suits instead of the coloured trousers and jacket. They do not convey any message. Crew I spoke with said they were not comfortable,

Earliest Check In Time in Sydney
I will be flying in business from SYD to KUL in November. I am wondering what the earliest time is that I can check in at the SYD airport as I will be getting off a cruise ship mid morning and my flight isn't until 3:30 pm

No idea if you can check in with any other airline due to status etc.

At the moment there is only 2 Malaysia Airlines flights a day from Sydney. I just caught the 9.50 pm one and the MH check in staff only turned up just over 3 hours prior to departure. Everyone was waiting around.

Do they hand out those seat wedge things in Business on the A330-300’s that “convert” the seat from sloped to full-flat? Like they do on the B777..

Its a wedge shaped thing that pushes down against the foot rest & creates a flat-ish sleeping surface. Original to say the least

Nothing was offered on the A330, neither on KUL/SYD nor on MEL/KUL.
Seat is hard. Service was good. Chef on call food is superb.
