Hi,

Thanks for the info:)

Looks like its a good seat. I suppose if the person next to you in row 6 has the flat bed operating, you will can go over the pax easily?:)

Do you know what type of power plug MH uses for laptop?

p.s. is row 6 near the toilets?

Thanks,
Kenn.

I will try to help all I can, but we are getting very specific here :) If the bed is out, you should be able to get out fairly easily, maybe a small hop. I don't remember the power plug. THe row is on the way to the toilets, but there is a good amount of room between the seats and the toilets. The toilets were on the right side of the aircraft and I was on the left, so I had a good enough distance between me and the toilets.

Hi,

Sorry for being a pain... Its getting too specific as you say :)

I am on the right side of the plane so i guess i am near the toilets. So hopefully the toilets dont gather a crowd.

For SYD->KUL i will be flying Upper deck 6K Window
KUL->LHR -> Same UD 6K Window
LHR->KUL -> Main deck 17H aisle.
KUL->SYD -> 1A main deck as no UD on a 777-200.

Thinking to switch KUL->LHR to main deck if i dislike UD on the SYD->KUL........

Cheers,
Kenn.

No no...you are not a pain at all. I am glad to help. Its rare to find a topic that I can offer so much advice on, it seems that other FT'ers know so much about so many things. I continue to be amazed with the knowledge spread daily on this website.

Best of luck on your trip, I certainly enjoyed MH and I hope you do too. BTW...the MH lounge in KUL is absolutely amazing, one of the best I have been to. If you can, try to get there a little early to make the most use of it. I have heard the F lounge is even better, which is hard to imagine as the J lounge was amazing.

Thanks :)

I have been to the KLIA MH lounge on my KUL->SYD trip in feb this year. I only had 15mins to use it. So i think i better get to the airport early to experience:)

I wanna try upgrading to F:)

We flew on the upper deck last week, on our first 747 flight since the new security restrictions were instituted. Since we were forced to check our roll aboards, the upper deck was even more convenient, as the side storage easily fit my tote and purse and the overhead was perfect for Hunki's computer bag.

There is, of course, a bit of a wait to deplane, compared to being in biz on the lower deck, but the delay was insignificant, compared to the spaciousness, privacy and comfort of the exit row on the upper deck.

We had the privilege of enjoying the ML first class lounge in KUL last January. It was a treat. They have a sit down dining area with linen table cloths, and crystal drinking glasses. The food was delicious and plentiful and they had a very complete, self-serve bar. It was by far the classiest airline lounge I have ever seen.

Thanks for the replies guys. MH KUL lounge in F sure sounds brilliant.

Anyone here been to the MH lounge at LHR? I will be there in late december, not sure what to expect:) Havent seen any pics of it.

Hi,

Did you fly on the refurbished aircraft?

Cheers,
Kenn.

I'll add to this.

I frequently fly UA intl, both biz and first class, between the US and asia.

upper deck is all business class. there is also biz class seating downstairs.

UD pros:

- nobody from coach tries to use your bathrooms.
- nice storage bins next to the window seats.
- not many people up there, not many people wandering around. can't hear the noise from babies crying in economy class. more quiet.
- if you're bored, you can daydream about attacking anybody who tries to hijack the plane.

UD cons:

- you can't sneak into the first class bathrooms (as easily)
- overhead compartments aren't big enough to fit a full carry-on size suitcase. you store them at the back of the UD cabin, near the stairwell.
- when the pilots use one of the bathrooms (they use the UD biz class BRs), the flight attendants stand guard over the cockpit and the empty bathrooms. ie, you can't use the UD bathrooms during this time.
- you can't watch all the other passengers as they board (if you're into people watching or checking out the opposite gender).
- you have to haul your carry-on luggage up a flight of stairs.
- it takes longer to get off the plane when you land.

Hi,

Thanks for the info:)

Only thing in the cons section that applies to me is the watching other passengers boarding:)

Does any other airline, besides LH, use the UD for First Class?

Always take upper deck. It's cozy and there's something dramatic about coming down those steps!:cool:

I have not experienced UA or MH UD, but have some Trans Pacs on NW, all UD so no LD to compare to. I always go for UD, I figure I fly on that LD on every other plane I fly. GO UD, if it is not full the FA/pax ratio is the best you will ever see. The UD FAs stay upstairs only, as they serve the pilots too.

NW usually does not let you store your roller in the closet by the stairs unless you get a FA willing to bend the rules. They consider this closet for "crew bags only". Your airline may let pax use it.

OTOH, NW blocks the Y aisle and lets the UD down the stairs to deplane first with the rest of C.

I just flew UA UD SFO-SYD, I put my bags in the locker at the top of the stairs. It was my first UD experience and it was great. The captain shook everyone's hand seated on the UD. Also, it's so private and the boarding process went by so quickly and comfortably without the masses walking by.
