Preferred seat selection with charges at Malaysia Airlines:

• Malaysia Airlines to charge for preferred seats in Economy class
• It is charging it at the time of booking
• Or at any time before the check-in.

This fee is waived off if you are flying in:-

(a) First Class

(b) Business Class

If you are an Enrich Platinum Member. This fee which is charged depends upon two factors

Departure zone, and   Arrival zone

• It has a price bracket of
• RM eleven to RM fifty for standard seats, and
• RM twenty-two to RM one hundred fifty for emergency exit seats.
• If you are looking for Malaysia airlines extra legroom seat then the price bracket for the lower deck is from-
• RM fifty to RM two hundred

For upper deck- 

• RM one hundred.
• This sounds great from a revenue-generating point of view.
• But is Malaysia Airlines going the budget airline way to survive in the aviation industry? What it does is it gives the flyers a point to switch to another competitor because why would someone pay for seat selection.
• However, Malaysia Airlines is not the only airline to charge for seat selection.
• KLM and Emirates are charging for seat selection as well.
• Emirates is charging passengers depending upon the route distance and the type of aircraft during that flight.
