MH Equipment - KUL - MNL - KUL
Hi Guys,
Got my first trip coming up with MH in a couple of weeks and was just curious to see what equipment they use on the flight to MNL from KUL.
From KVS it states that it is a 738 but not sure which 738:
166 Seats ML

or
160 Seats MX
http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/cont..._800_MX_lo.pdf
At the moment I have both 1A and 3A booked but I am not sure whether they are good seats for the cabin due to the difference of the Galley on both configurations.
Any regulars on this route?

Ah silly me, for months I have been trying to figure this question out but I think I have just cracked it.
The difference between the two configs is one has 29 as the last row in Y and the other has 30 as the last row in Y.
Just checked both of them and it is the MX configuration that is used on this route.
Hope this helps for future travellers.

Be careful - all seatmaps in expertflyer or any GDS will always show the 29 rows, regardless of whether it's an MX, FF or ML, or MS bird operating. There is NO pattern to it though, unfortunately. In J, I definitely like your seat choice if it's an ML/FF bird -(there is one exception MLE, but unlikely you'll get that bird)

I agree that there's no pattern on what 738 they would use. I fly this route frequently, and always have no clue on what I would fly. The check-in staff are usually not helpful too - they usually don't know that there's a difference between a new and leased 738.

I think I should write up a short guide on those 738's - unfortunately, because there is no pattern you can discern from the seat map, it'll pretty much be useless until Check-in , at which time you may or may not be able to change seats....

I should just ask what is the last row of Y and I can either get 1A or 1F or if not just select anything but the first row!/AE
