Malaysia Airlines seat reviews

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).

Paid for the extra legroom as I require alittle extra space since having back surgery and read reviews that the normal economy seats are alittle tight. Didn't want to risk getting stuck in the middle. Great space and loved being able to access the seat from the row infront. Overall the aircraft is OK. Aisles seems alittle small but happy with the seat itself (£35 for 14hrs of comfort is well worth it!) only thing is as its technically an exit row seat you have the entertainment system stored in between seats so can't watch anything until after take off and need to pack everything away prior to landing :) I ordered a low calorie meal, meant I got double servings of fruit and healthier options (protein) and also that I got served quickly. Also means you don't run out of choices depending on where you are sat.

Single window seat with direct aisle access. Relatively quiet given distance from galley, only issue was the plebs trying to use Business class bathrooms.

Main issue was how short the lie flat bed was. I’m 6.2 and stuggled to get to sleep, it also fet narrower than most other lie flats.

Staff were great, IFE average, food average.

All in all probably would fly again depending on cost difference with BA

I enjoyed the single seat however wished the width was slightly more for added comfort. The shoulder strap was too tight which was uncomfortable. Glad that it was only for take off and landing. Besides that, the legroom is great, there is so much space for your personal stuff. Entertainment screen is extremely clear and sound system is great. Loved it. Could improve in serving VGML type of food. Overall, it was a great experience.

Service very good,as usual, but over half the toilets in the whole plane were out of action causing long queues the whole trip! Hot food not up to MAS normal good standard.

I got an upgrade from business to first class. Going by other blogs/vlogs on youtube. Maylasian airways are the only airline that has first class on the A350-900. Unsure of that fact? Anyway great upgrade, only 4 seats in first, very quiet and personal. No. 1 for me. Tones of leg room, I am just under 6 foot but taller people will have plenty of room. I am broad stature as well but that was no problem. Obveously being first class the seat was very good. No wings on head rest, that was ok. Seat functions where good, many settings including compleat flag bed. This had firmness control. There was also lumber massage not bad. Even when laid flat, you have easy access controls. Plenty of storrage although I only had laptop carry-on. A350 has no centre overhead storrage, but did not seem to be an issue. TV was very big, user friendly althougth did drop out sometimes. Prob. Flight operating issues. 13 hour flight I did watch a film, unusual for me. Service was top notch. Been on Singapore airlines very good. Rate Maylasian better. Food was outstanding. (personal taste). One downside to the window seats in first. I am just under 6 foot but I hit my head twice on the overhead, its a bit low. My fault not looking.

Nice window seat in business class. The seats look dated, leather/leather look. But comfortable. Adjustable wings on the head rest good. Two downsides. As the seat was against a partition wall and cattle class. The recline was limited. The second was althougth plenty of width and arm room there was a very small place to put drinks. Quite bad. Entertainment not interested so no comment.

It was a great experience but the seat belt was causing me feel uncomfortable as it rubbing against my neck...and the narrow leg compartment prevent me from moving a lot during sleep...

Comfortable & spacious seat

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
