Completely off current topics, en rte Guangzhou yesterday (via Yangoon and Kunming) and following GF 15 something (blocking our requested level). Asked him where he was headed; said "Manila".
Is this a normal GF routeing? I know there's a cyclone brewing in Bay of B, but it was miles away ; this China route would be rather costly en rte MNL?!
(for the uninformed, normal rte from Gulf is via BKK area).
Just curious.
