I took that route with Malaysia Airlines last month, the BKK-KUL-BKK legs on a B738were crammed & uncofortable, the stopover in KUL short but doable, however the A380 between KUL and LGR-T4 was fine, reasonable IFE & catering & seat-space, and 30 kgs hold-luggage allowed.  My trip late-January, booked a few months ahead of travelling, cost me B19,800 return.

 

However I was slightly miffed to discover, after my return, that the long-haul sectors hadn't got me any airmiles at all with their OneWorld partner, whose frequent-flyer program I'm currently trying to build points with ! So 25-hours in Economy gained me a numb-bum, but no airmiles !

File a claim for missing miles with your cards airline, on all of my MH flights I have received air miles as well as use of lounges

Often, those upper deck coach seats are hard to distinguish on seat charts...they just appear to be back rows on the lower level.   They are much nicer, sometimes 2-3-2 with more legroom but the best part is is is only about a 10 row section so not many other passengers constantly brushing by you and never a line at the toilet.

Downside is the rear of the aircraft gets more engine noise, also, aircraft movement in rough air is accentuated in the rear.  Not a good place to sit if prone to airsickness or a nervous flyer.

I appreciate the thought thanks, but I did do that, and Qatar confirmed that while I earned a few Qmiles/Qpoints for BKK-KUL-BKK, I got aboslutely nothing for LUL-LHR-KUL, due to a different class of fare on those sectors. 

 

The original booking/PNR from the OTA never even mentioned fare-types, my QR ff-number was on all four boarding-passes, that's just life  mai-pen-rai.

Advice appreciated!
