I am more blown away that there's no F to/from:

Tokyo (except for one HND flight -- does JL even have an F flight...I used to enjoy 6pm NRT-HKG in F).
SYD/MEL???

Anyone have any perspectives on whats going on that's causing this?
I suppose it all boils down to frame utilization. SIN, being 3.5 hours (4 hours padded) away, may sit out a craft if there are unplanned delays, whereas MNL and TPE are about 100 and 80 minutes respectively
