Long-haul J experiences on MH

[eminere]

Does anyone know if MH are now providing mattresses (similar to what QF does) to give extra padding on the business class seats on their A380 and A330?

In J you just get a slip cover for the seat (so the sleeping surface is smoothed out).

two out of four flights I did last month had them - 1 A380, 1 A330

That's good to hear. I'll have to ask them for the slip on covers next time I'm in J with them.

Not sure if they still hand out PJs. If they do, get a size bigger than your usual. i.e. get XL if you usually take L.

They were already placed on the seat along with the pillow and blanket at boarding. This was on all four sectors of my SYD-KUL-CDG-KUL-SYD trip.

I hope they provide this for my SYD-KUL-LHR-KUL-SYD trip in October.

They only give out PJs in F. Never known them to give PJs in J.

They only five out PJs in F. Never known them to give PJs in J.

Was given two (second, on request) last Sep LHR-KUL on A380.

None on my four flights last months, including A380 flights to LHR/CDG

Maybe belt-tightening by MH.

You were very lucky then!
I fly twice a year to LHR/CDG with them in J and have been doing so for the past 4 years, and I have never been offered PJs in J. Only got them on my one time in F.

They only give out PJs in F. Never known them to give PJs in J.

Nor on my KUL-AMS, AMS-KUL flights.

I think more to do with the regular inconsistencies in service on MH. Don't get me wrong, I like them, they are good value, but service is very inconsistent.

Wish they flew F out of Aus!

Any recent experiences with MH selling cheap upgrades at check-in? My cousins flying MEL-KUL-LHR//AMS-KUL-MEL in a month in Y and a TA friend said the loads should be fairly light and he could pay 'between $300-$400 for the Australian legs and slightly more for the European legs' at check-in to upgrade to J. Another friend paid I think $450 MEL-KUL to upgrade a few months back.

Any idea as to amounts? I know MH isn't a brilliant J but for these amounts it seems cheaper than buying AA miles?

 

[anna2103]

I know KL to Europe was around 1500 last month at KL airport. Not as cheap as people think

Thanks anna. I assume you mean AUD1500? That would seem about right for LHR or CDG as an A380 flight - its about 3 x the price of an Australian upgrade - the flight is about twice as long and then they could factor in the 'A380 factor'.

He's taking the old MH17 flight which I guessing will be extremely lightly loaded. It might be better to hope he can get a row of 3 seats to himself in Y.
