Suzanne Goh 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2015 To be honest - it is a busy week for travel regardless of carrier or route because of Eid. I flew BA26 HKG LHR last night and it was completely full in all 4 classes except 1 Y seat. Let's see if BA can keep this up long term performance in KUL. Hope they can.

Craig 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2015 Thank you for your observation Mohd. Azizul. BA 33/34 is operated by WW crew (hence they are rather senior). The only SE Asia flight operated by the MF crew is BA 15/16 (LHR-SIN-SYD) and I usually feel really old compared to the MF crew . Like Suzanne said, it's Eid and peak summer ex-Europe - so it will be full regardless. And BA better be full - it's a hub to hub route! Even LH which at times struggle with LH 782/783 is full this week. By the way, seem like BA is starting B789 services to KUL earlier. From 05 DEC 2015 (06 DEC 2015 for BA 34): BA033 18:50 LHR - KUL 15:20+1 D 789 BA034 23:45 KUL - LHR 05:25+1 D 789 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 With 6 hrs in between can they do some regional flt? HKT, CGK, LGK or or bit further dps perhaps? Why would they? It will dilute KUL's yields and will increase crew cost tremendously (and KUL is operated by WW crew nonetheless). CGK didn't work for LH due to crew cost.
