Award travel on Malaysian Airlines
After receiving 45,000 Mile-a-Palooza miles, I decided to splurge with some of it. I was able to snag two business class tickets to Kuala Lumpur in August using 180,000 miles. Had to wait patiently for 3 hours at the Roseville, MN NWA city office to have the agent find availability. She went thru all the dates between Jul 21st until finding availability on August 9th. It seems they have quite a bit of difficulty accessing MH computers, but the travel agents were some of the best I have ever seen. I recommend people living near NW city offices and who are not too Internet savvy to use the facility.
How is the MH business product? Mrs samaruf and I are seated in 7A/7C in the upper deck.

Seat pitch, however, is only 50", so check-in with MH early and request the exit row on the second deck (preferably the A,C side since there is jump seat row for FAs on the J,K side).

I am a freight train type snorer but have given considerable relief to Mrs samaruf by using a CPAP device. Do they have outlets for plugging in something like that? It would be terrible to deprive fellow passengers of their sleep on a 13 hr long flight
