This was my first time experiencing Malaysian Airlines business class so was looking forward to this trip. The Malaysian Airlines has 6 rows in its business class on Airbus A330-300 with some rows having  1 x 2 x 1 and some 1 x 2 x 2 seating. The seats are true flat beds and I was happy to have snagged a throne seat on 1st row.

My Seat – 1K

The seat might look a little on the narrow side but it was very comfortable. I would not hesitate to fly on this seat on long haul or ultra long haul flights.

Pre-departure Beverage (Orange Juice), Dinner Beverage (Vodka Sprite)
Malaysian Airlines Business Class Dining Menu
Chicken Satay with peanut sauce
Appetizer – Smoked chicken with Quinoa and orange segment
Dinner Entree – Fish curry with rice and sambal. This entree was not featured in the menu

I am not a big fan of bread pudding and so opted out of dessert.

I converted the seat in bed mode and went straight to sleep. The seat cushion is firm and great for sleep. I slept soundly till about 30 minutes to landing.


Bottomline:

Seat: ****1/2

Service: ****

Food: ****

The throne seat on bulkhead was awesome. The seat cushion is firm and when converted to a flat bed is great for sleeping. Service was very good and so was the catering. Really enjoyed the chicken satay as well as the fish that was not featured on the menu.
