Mh hkg-kul-hkg
Hi All,

I see that the above route uses either a 777-200 or A330.

Can I ask are these regional configured? i.e. old seats?

Thinking whether to go with CX or MH on this route.

Will be travelling with wife and a 23 month old.

Thanks,
K.

The flights with the B772 have the international configuration, whereas the A330 is the old configuration (no PTVs).

Yes. The B772 has the angled lie-flat J seats. MH is currently sending the old A330 with recliner J seats to HKG. The new A333 (with the new livery) has the angled lie-flat J seats but the angle is a bit steeper than on the B772.

I wonder why MH don't send the newer planes to HKG like what SQ does

IIRC the newer A333s will be deployed on MH74/75 starting August/September this year.

Ok thanks. Then I can also consider the A333

Will there be newer Y seats on the MH A333 ?

New Y seats on the new A333s are slimline seats with bigger PTVs and 32" pitch. Old Y seats on B772 are thicker (and more padded) with 34" seat pitch but small PTVs.

By looking at the seat map how do you know if it's the new A333 or old A333?
