Malaysian wide body on regional flight | A330-200 (plus KLIA2 Tune Hotel review)

Welcome to my 9th Flight Report (My 560th flight), from Jakarta Soekarno Hatta Airport (CGK) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). This is the third and last part of the summer holiday trip from the UK back to Malaysia. The entire route was MAN to Kuala Lumpur (KUL), via AUH and Jakarta (CGK), which is unusual given that I could also fly directly from AUH to KUL. However, for an Aviation fan, I am not complaining and would love to transit through CGK for the first time. The MAN to CGK flights were operated by Etihad B787-10 Dreamliners, while CGK to KUL route was on Malaysia Airlines A330-200. I was extremely excited about the trip as it was my first long haul flight since pandemic.

Malaysia Airlines currently operate just a single daily flight between KUL and CGK using a combination of A330-200 and B737-800. This was my first ride on Malaysian A330-200, having flown on their A330-300 numerous times in the past. As check in was done by Etihad, seat selection on this flight was not possible during online check in on Etihad website. Thus, I wasn't allocated window seat and the flight was nearly 100% full.
