Business Class was extremely full on the LHR-KUL route recently.
There was a problem with one of the A380 planes last week. Resulted in a late cancellation of a flight, then delays of 10 hours reducing to 3 hours over a period of 3 days.
They might be trying out a permanent fix to whatever the problem was.
I am always surprised that they do not swap the A380 plane on the CDG-KUL route for the LHR-KUL flight.

I always see one sitting on the tarmac at KLIA and seems to be unused. Not sure of the situation at MH at the moment but they generally don't have problems with the A380 aircraft to LHR.
Their business class gets a good load for this KL-LHR-KL sector and so does their economy as they have generally almost always been 70%-90% full when I have flown the A380's to London and back for much of 2014.
Haven't had to fly to Paris much so can't comment. Am surprised they are using the 380 for the Paris route to be honest.....but it could also be down to the fact they are also 2 x 777 aircraft short now.
