Adola69, I said same as you in post 1786 on this thread. Bad news indeed. I was in Sabah last week at one of the big resort Hotels. As usual it was rammed with Brits, many of whom were closer to MAN than LHR but had to schlep down there to fly MH to BKI via KUL. A few I spoke to used to fly from MAN direct to KUL. I know holiday makers do not tend to equal big yield but this is MH's market anyway, and what they will be getting from LGW. I'm afraid the 'threat' of that bl**dy long haul LCC flying here will have put paid to the return of MH at MAN....
viscount702, see an earlier post on here for the SQ news.
One slight alteration is the new departure time is just 10 mins earlier at 0950 instead of the proposed 0920. They've also finally bowed to the complaints and dumped the Servisair lounge.
Wellington Bomber, thanks for the confirmation on the work. I thought an inbound slot restriction was strange.
