Seat Map Malaysia Airlines Airbus A350 900

The economy seats were not particularly comfortable for the long journey.
The second meal was rice based, as did the first, but it was a Malaysian speciality and different to the lunch. However, the alternative omelette was not the best choice. The meal was not hot enough and the warm coffee was also struggled to dissolve the creamer.
I thought the aircraft was considerably noisier than expected (new A350).
The entertainment system was mediocre. The headphones were almost drowned out by the general noise and the quality was poor on music (perhaps I'm expecting too much but even cheap headphones can be far better than those supplied).

I had a pleasant flight from London to Kuala Lumpur. I was very impressed with the seating area as the layout is very spacious and the extra legroom did make a tremendous difference for sheer comfort. I felt very relaxed in this seating area and I would definitely book these seats in the future. The service was excellent however food could have been better. I know I was economy and should not expect a lot but the portions were small. I am a frequent flyer and have flown with other major airlines and I find the food better and bigger portions.

This is a fairly cosy 9 abreast in economy. There was not a lot of elbow room if you happen to be sitting next to a fidgety passenger. Food was ok, if unremarkable. I struggled to get a glass of wine with the meal-it seems this is a slightly unusual request. The stewardess made passengers in-recline during meal service. Legroom wasn’t bad though, and I’m 5’10” tall and quite leggy! There seemed to be some good movies in the entrtainment system (but I usually take my own entertainment on an iPad)

The new airbus A350 is both good & bad. The airplane is clean, neat design but it has some drawbacks which are like marmite. The good bits, new plane, clean & feels like fresh design & drawbacks are the seats do not offer wide business seats. The photos will demonstrates that there is not enough room to move around & feel smaller than the other business class in their fleet. The real elephant in the room is the plane is so noisy & feels uncomfortable without any ear defenders in!

The seat width is adequate. Controls are preset - press one button to get the seat to upright position, another to recline and raise legrest, a third to recline flat for sleeping. When lying flat in this seat, your feet go into a recess under the seat in front, slightly offset to the left of you. If you are more than about 175 cm tall or have feet bigger than size 9, you will find the length of the seat and the size of the area for your feet inadequate

This flight was the second leg of my PER-LHR trip. The seat and facilities were a very welcome improvement on my B737 flight from PER to KUL. I had no issues with the seat whether upright, relaxing or lie flat, but then I'm 5' 8'' and not 6' plus like some reviewers. Not the first time I have flown the A350 and once again I found that I just preferred it over the B787, but I just can't pin the reasons why.
Service was excellent and the flight was reasonably punctual.

Was upgraded to Premier Economy. A lot of leg room. Had 2 seats for myself so reclined and enjoyed the rather long journey comfortably. The food was delicious. First time that I had all the meals. Service could be improved a little as had to ask for a hot drink more than once before I got it. Overall a very pleasant experience. Have always travelled with Malaysian Airlines and will continue to do so!!

It was nice to fly on the 3 month old A350. The staff were friendly and helpful as expected! I wasn't sure why a 9am departure went into "night-mode" a short while after take off... the whole flight was in daylight... For business class, I was amazed how small the toilets are, the same size or smaller than no frills carriers and certainly smaller than the loos on the A380 we travelled on on the way out to KL last December!

#MH89 #MalaysiaAirlines have a nice new plane but disappoint with service
Flew #JL724 KUL✈NRT 787-9 #JapanAirlines Business Class Suite far better product
Paid ?26565 RTN JL/MH so cheap BC ticket for BKK-NRT
Incl. BKK-KUL-BKK #B738 flights 👌
Aircraft:
Seat armrest in #A359 was narrow and no privacy
For 3D/3G carry on use 3A/3K overhead bins
Engines smooth/noise low/in cabin noise low
Some of the buttons for seat not functioning properly (press button light displays then press again for seat to go back/down) annoying
Will try other airlines A359

Legroom is good because its the first row against the bulkhead of that section (betweent business class and premium economy), however the seat width is reduced due to the in-seat tray and entertainment screen. Seat recline is ok but the seat itself is not comfortable somehow. Food was extremely salty and they ran out of choice when it came to my turn. Cabin lights were totally turned off (instead of dimmed) during mid flight making walks along the aisle to the lavatory hazardous.
