  Good performance on Radio 4 yesterday. I think the MAN-SIN flight actually goes via Munich not FRA as stated.

  An OT bit: over at businesstraveller they have an article claiming both a380s and London routes at MAS are safe. Something not quite adding up here given a380s are supposedly up for sale. The “forseeable future” is likely the key phrase, they are probably now losing business to BA since the restructuring announcment. Since devaluation the route and MH as a partner has become less attractive. Although BA CW on a 777 is insuperior, it probably now represents best option on the route when combined with a 241.

    Its confirmed that the MAS FRA flight will be cancelled from end of May. However, I’ve always been told that the LHR and CDG routes would be kept. The AMS route likely kept, in part it’s a codeshare with KLM.

    Odd situation with A380s, mixed reports on loads varying between oversold to very quiet. However the MAS A380 business class is a much better product than BA CW – which I will find out for myself with a 2-4-1 booking coming up shortly.

      BA must be selling well as prices recently shot up. Fortunately I bagged KUL-GLA-KUL WTP UUA CW for £875 for September and November in the last but one premium sale. Like you I would prefer MH a380.

  Also Qatar have another Business Class sale on, some cheap prices ex AMS on weekdays.

  Just booked an economy return to KEF. Still no idea what the Tier points and miles are going to be, booking says zero and the helpline not sure either!

    Reykjavik is 20K Avios + £35 RFS round trip in economy – peak BA rates.
    Hope that helps

  If any HFP readers tuned in to You and Yours early, I suspect that at least half of them will have topped themselves after listening to the previous programme. Is that depressing drivel where my license fee goes?

    Froggitt, you could be right.

    Maybe Rob will have an indication in due course if there’s a major downturn in site hits?

    I just managed to make it through, listening in the kitchen with knives close at hand! 🙂 .

  The MAN flight does indeed go via Munich – it’s my favourite way to get there – the return’s a bit of a killer though that early – usually runs empty to be fair though

  Hi raffles,

  I was wondering if there will ever be another 50% Avios sale this year? I am looking to go Singapore sometime in the very near future.

    Given the scheme changes, anything could happen if Avios sales to Amex and Tesco start to drop …. honestly no idea though.
