KUL-DEL on MH 738s
Gday, just want to know if the KUL-DEL-KUL flights operated by MH 737-800 a/c have any weight restrictions or make the flight with full load both ways?? I was reading on a similar flight time route, SYD-DPS on DJ 737-800, which I heard are restricted to about 120 passengers each way, flight time of 6h25m, the KUL-DEL sector is 5h55m. It would be pretty cramped sitting in a 737 for a 6h flight, can anyone shed some @:-) on this??

Flew KUL-MLE-KUL on MH 737-800 and it was not a very enjoyable flight. Leg room is really poor. I have to say beside the free meal, I really did not see any difference in term of confort between flying Mh 737-800 and AirAsia A320

Rather than the bulkhead try and get an emergency exit seat - but try and go for the second row of the exit if you can - some airlines (not sure about MH) restrict the recline of the first exit row so that it doesn't impede an emergency evac.
Maybe the DJ flight SYD-DPS is limited in case it has strong headwinds or something and flies over the sea?
