Was asked to proceed to the lounge (Araliya Lounge, pretty BAD) and he’l deliver the BPs over. Gentleman in front of me got his CMB-FCO-FRA no issues too. I believe he caught on to the fare too.

Got the F seats on the A332 so it was a nice touch. Pretty basic service onboard but for that price what the heck!

Happy travels!
were you able to select the F seats for the CMB-KWI sector through OLCI, or do they have to be manually requested at check in at CMB?

Can anyone post a link to seat map of KU A332 plane? Was not able to find a map on their website or in Google search.

Hi all, I flew this on the 4th September, but I've been a bit too busy to report.

Both flights were operated by an A330, but only on the CMB-KWI leg were we able to select the F cabin. This was done on the Kuwait website, prior to OCLI (I checked in at the airport). No issues at all checking in at CMB.

On the CMB-KWI leg, I slept most of the flight, since it was a red-eye. On the day, it appeared that the F cabin wasn't close to empty, but we left full. One family of 6 in particular, seemed very surprised to be where they were sitting, so there may have been a few op-ups.

Can't comment on the catering, as I was asleep most of the flight. Talking to the FA prior to landing, he told me that the catering on the following flight from KWI-MUC would be much better, due to it being ex-KWI, and the greater importance they place on the KWI-EU flights. Didn't receive an amenity kit on this leg either. FA seemed to have a disdain towards working the CMB/Indian sub continent legs, as opposed to EU legs.

Easily got new BP at the transfer desk at KWI, and a quick connect on to MUC. So quick I didn't get a chance to visit the lounge at all.

F cabin on the KWI-MUC flight left empty, and stayed that way during the flight. The C cabin was full, bar two seats. Amenity kits supplied, and catering was acceptable. Blankets seemed much nicer than what was supplied on the CMB-KWI leg.

Surprisingly, I actually slept better on the angle flat seats in the C cabin. The seating is actually a lot more padded what is in the F cabin. In the F cabin, you are provided a very thin underlay, which amounted to nothing but a cleaner surface to lie on. Flying this trip with my wife, I always prefer a 2-2-2 layout (as was in C), instead of the reverse herringbone layout. Flying solo the opposite applies. Both planes and cabins still felt fresh, and well kept.

Thanks a lot for the details! So you mean you were able to select the F seats for CMB-KWI on MMB online?? When I log into the KU website online for my booking, it was still showing the 2-2-2 J class layout for my flight. hmmm...

Thanks to everybody for reporting back! Looks good for the rest of us

I can't seem to select any F seats either... but ah well, I'm quite happy with Business for the price paid

I think KU sells some A332-200 routes or day/routes without First Class, and that's why you can select rows 1 to 5, the first class seats.

Check these 2 seats maps

It appears that KU are selling F seats from CMB-KWI for nearly every single day of the year.

Perhaps closer to departure they allow J pax to select F seats if available?

Hi All,

Unfortunately we are now unable to use the tickets next month due to some unforseen circumstances.

As such, I will need to request for a cancellation & refund.

Would appreciate any advise on how this can be done as my emails to [email protected] have not been answered.

Thanks very much!!
