Thread: Nonrev Correspondent- Singapore

Hi Maltese, sorry for the delay... are you Maltese? I dated a half British half Maltese girl once, wow that was a while ago.

As for the loads:

LAXHKG ~ 5th July
5/6/7/8 look full down back already
9th - CX883 looks good
10th - all three flts (CX881/CX885/CX883) look good with >50 seats
11th - both flights look good

SFO-HKG ~5th July
5/6/7/8/9 -quite full aready
10/11/12th - looking better, but not as good as LAX

HKG-BKK - fine all those days

August looks good, but results skewed as it is so far away!

Our back up plan would be to fly on BR, and our only concern now is getting back from HKG. I hear it can be difficult, esp. in the summer time. I'm planning on flying out on the 28/29/30 and can do SFO/YVR/LAX. Any tips on the best dates/routes??
Thanks a million!

Hi, sorry for late reply
HKGSFO
No good on all days mentioned
HKGLAX
28th = no good, 29th = very average, but possibility, 30th = no good
HKGYVR
28th = not a chance, 29th = no good, 30th = not a chance

Might want to start looking at other options...

What happened to the airasia x service from oakland - kuala lumpur? It started last year and when I google I see no info about it stopping, but the air asia site doens't display it as a destination. :/

Looks like service never actually started on that one: Oakland International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh what a fool I am... I take Friday off to go home for a long weekend, and forget it's end of school hols. QF/BA to SYD are oversold (and around 15 nonrevs listed ahead of me), MEL is oversold, BNE is oversold, EK to MEL is oversold also. PER is open but silly me forgot to buy a PERMEL zed didn't he?

Sigh.... and the last flight outa SIN on CX is 25mins after i finish work, too close to make.

Well I learned a lesson last week - never forget to check if it's school holidays somewhere on your travel route. It was end of Australian school hols, so the flights were packed!

I took the Friday off so i could leave here thurs night, I stood by for QF to MEL&SYD, BA to SYD and EK to MEL and didn't get on any.

Luckily a SYD flight was delayed until 7am the next morn, so I made that. Then I got to SYD at 4pm on Fri (worst day for nonrev), and they decided my bag was now 2kg too heavy for carryon. So I checked it and went to gate 13 to recheck. Overheard QF staff had been there since 11am, so how would I have a chance. Eventually we all clear on to a flight and I get to MEL but sure enough, no bag.

They then tell me "oh it's common on a fri night, they'll send it on the last flt" . So regardless it took until 5pm the next night to courier it to me.

Then I went to go back on Sunday and our flight went tech, so we were delayed 5hrs or so. They handed out meal vouchers so I went and got one and had some wine - met a venture capitalist, model and writer - was interesting mix. Got home at 3am iso 10pm had a few hrs sleep then work! What a weekend!!
