Seat Selection on Malaysian Airlines
Hello all,
I'm sort off puzzeled by Malaysian Airlines' policy on seat selection in advance. The airlines website is a contradictionary on this subject. I'm thinking of booking DPS-KUL with them for a flight in september. Will I be able to preselect my seat? The flight is operated by an Airbus A330, and I don't wanna be stuck in a middle somewhere in the back of the plane.
Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
From what i know at the time you book the tickets you can select seats however you will have pay for them depending on what fare class you book. For example flexible condition fares such as U,W,Y fare code on economy would get free seating selection but the restrictive fares such as K,M,H,Q,L,V,S fare code you would need to pay.
Hope it helps

As the rules has changed for their alignment into oneworld im not very sure about rules anymore. But a quick call to your local MAS office if they have one in Netherlands or a call to the Malaysia where they can help you.

You can use manage my booking als for flights from the Netherlands. I just checked for our flight, and I am able to change seats if I wanted. I fly on Malaysian metal, maybe it's different when you fly on the KLM-codeshare?

Just ring them. It is much easier. Make sure you know where you want to sit and have alternatives if the seat you want is not available. Flight bookings originating from Australia don't have pre-flight seat selection, which means you can't even pay for it if you want to, so I just ring them up and get my seat selection (for free).

Pre-selection of seats on domestic flights can be done for a small fee. Seat selection on international flights will depend on your point of origin.
