plane type: Airbus A380-841
The number is: 9M-MNE (cabin configuration F8 C66 Y420 first flight in September 12th, 2012 age 1.5 years)









MH will changed back to the old 772 to fly HKG route in February 16, 2014
I get the last chance to take a380
On that day the morning in Hongkong the weather is quite cold
its begin to rain, the temperature is only 7 degrees






MH promotion fares is quite good recently
This is the Hongkong promotion ticket price

This time I bought HKG-KUL-SIN oneway O class tickets including tax is 1376 HK dollars (MAS taxes hem...)




Malaysia Airlines check counter in HKG is on D Island


 
business check in for enrich gold silver.


I use business class check-in counters, get two segment boarding pass and airport lounge voucher.
Basically the last segment seat 12A has to pay the extra.
Asked the ground staff to change my seat to exit row seat.
I was told the boarding gate is 60, 62, 64.


 





the plane that fly MH073 9M-MNE,  is airbus A380  age 1.5 years in the fleet


Malaysia Airlines use plaza premium lounges in HKIA,Through security and immigration I decided to go to cathay pcific the wing lounge.



Then, I decide to go to plaza premium lounge,The Bridge

The ground staff saw my MH boarding card and CX gold card,and welcome me into the lounge.



this is food in lounge.
 The Bridge Temptation drink




after enough drink and food,I return to gate 60,begin boarding,Look at this not too many passengers,I understand why MAS change the A380 back to the B772...







go through Business class section.
I found the row 33
there is a power charging socket below the seat.





A380 upper deck has a small economy class cabin on the rear side.
Seat configuration is 2-4-2,different from 3-4-3 on first floor.
Another advantage of the upper is a large storage space





the exit row legroom




Adjustable air volume outlet and a reading lamp

The upper compartment

Later the two FA has also asked if I need newspapers.














take an empty seat,
Seat pitch is quite good!!!



Back off
Engine start smoke
The gate 62 is BA A380





after take off, have a look at the toilet.










Shortly after the take-off started catering services
main course are fish meal and chicken spaghetti
I chose the meals











                         upper deck economy class cabin view.the load factor ... probably half, really not very good,there are many empty seats,
Captain PA: We are now descending to Kuala Lumpur International Airport ...

PTV start playing Tourism Malaysia advertising 
Probably around 18:30 plane landed.

 

Peek at the front of the plane Business class,seat occupancy is low.

  

 I go to MH Golden Lounge Satellite in KUL waiting for the transit.

No to the stunning but also acceptable, service attitude are slightly inferior to SQ, CX, JL.
