Legroom from planes going or coming from Europe to Kuala Lumpur
Legroom is the distance between the junction of the seat back and seat bottom and the back of the seat ahead. It is not uniformly available from the
airlines. What they do all offer is seat pitch, which is the distance between a given part of one seat and the same part on the next seat. This measurement is easy to take and hard to fudge.
Jet Air and Tiger Airways Australia's are budget airlines. Tiger Airways
has Singapore as a base. Both airlines are flying to Malaysia and in the Far East. Jetstar Asia also has its base at Singapore, but is a budget subsidiary of Australian Qantas.
Firefly and MasWings are subsidiaries of Malaysia Airlines. The first operates in Thailand and the mainland. The second operates on Sabah / Sarawak and Indonesia.
Silk Air is a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines. This airline covers a large area in the Far East and has many destinations.
The airport is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is close to Kuala Lumpur. It is the old national airport, before KLIA was built.
LCCT means: Low Cost Carrier Terminal. It is a separate terminal, where many budget airlines
depart. It's on a bus ride of 20 minutes from the arrival and departure hall of Malaysia Airlines.
I've added also, whether you have a personal tv in the back of the seat in front of you.
Can anyone help with the airlines I didn't fill in?
