So went to my computer first thing and when I tried to book it, that specific flight has disappeared from GF, AA and on QR's website itself. It's either the flight was full that they took it out of "circulation" or canceled it (must be a ton of refunds to do) so I went to QR's website to find out by going to their Flight Schedule link. There I saw the same flight schedule but no longer available on the date I wanted. Has anyone seen this and what could be the possible explanation? Would certainly appreciate it. Or maybe it's just me. Thank you.
Random guess, there's probably an aircraft shuffle going on, if that's the case it might reappear in a few days when an airframe is shuffled back to service the days with no scheduled flight, but equally it might not. The MNL route is a busy one so I would guess they are not likely to cut back the schedule. Only someone from QR operations really knows what they're up to.
