We had a great flight to KL, 11 1/2 hours, and cant say enough about Malaysia airlines - they are fantastic. Golden/ business class is even better than we expected. We had the 3 front seats in the middle row, was a bit of a stuff up and they didnt have our seat requests but it all worked out fine and we were all together - just no window.
Danni and I were like little school kids, playing with the 17 seat adjustments from flat bed to massage.
Snob Note #2 - There is now no other way to travel!! Peeked through the back curtains and all those people crammed in to economy, kids crying and everyone looking knackered at the end - just doesnt look very healthy for long haul. Felt like I should go back and offer some deserving person my seat!! However, I managed to survive!! and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. The cabin crew remembered our names and they cant do enough for you- even down to opening the toilet door for you.
We arrived on time at 8pm local time and midnight NZ time. The hotel at the airport is gorgeous- very opulent and the staff (all muslim) are extrememly courteous.
We are so glad we decided to break the flights as hot showers and kingsized beds were what we needed! Slept well- asked Danni this morning how she slept "TERRIFIC" she said!!
The hotel restaurant offered an amazing spread for brekky, all part of the room cost. We are really impressed with how it is set up for the tourist.
We are now in the KL airport again ready for our next leg to Heathrow London, is a slightly longer flight at 13 hrs I think - we are in a 747 aircraft and are seated upstairs - yehah, now I know how Helen Clark always manages to look fresh after her flights overseas!!
Cya all when we are in England. :)

Hi TITT - you should be just on your way to London now - how exciting! Thanks for the photos, we assumed the photo of Danni was taken in the hotel - looks fantastic! Am guessing you will sleep (or at least lie flat) for some of this journey. By the way, did Danni find a horse movie on the plane to KL??
We have got the Rav here, when Sam needs it next week she can pick it up from us.
Hope all goes OK when you get to Heathrow as regards getting on the Tube etc. KL will probably have spoilt you for London, however its all part of the excitement of travel, finding the differences in countries and their attitude to things.
When you get to your apartment in Earls Court, spare a thought for me (Ma, Toni, Nanna) playing in yet another Waikato bowls championship - such is greatness! Just wish I could win one of the jolly things!
Love MDTTNP
