MH1335

Finally I got to get into the Boeing Sky Interior. The aircraft was 9M-MLO, which is unconventional to be given such registration since MAS' BSI 738s are designated with the 9M-MX- series registrarion. But then, this isn't MAS' aircraft. ML- series 738s belong to BBAM, a leasing co. Apparently, 9M-ML-M,N,O,P,Q and R will be fitted with BSI.

The Sky Interior is really good. It's comfortable, at least on row 5, that is known to have generous legroom. The seats are covered in leather and are very plush, perhaps because the aircraft is indeed new to the fleet, aging less than 2 months. The lights are a nice feat too, they dim to blue during take-off and landing, and lighten up to yellow/orange during level flight. It's somehow soothing. Didn't bother the IFE since they didn't even provide the headset, and my unit was faulty anyway. It kept crashing whenever I chose the menu. Maybe the system just isn't meant to work on short-haul flights, I don't know. I looked like an idiot pressing the touch screen hardly to see some visual. It just restarted and wouldn't let me navigate past the menu tray.

Overall it was a comfortable flight. Plus, I think it's worth the ticket price compared to a flight with the Red Side.
