Last year the KL flight was 4 weekly tagged with Jakarta on a 772. I only flew that particular route once and a significant proportion were continuing to Jakarta.

Now the flight is tagged with Manila on a 789.

I am sure BA could make it work but given the shortage of aircraft and crew I’ve no doubt the resources are better used on yet another flight to the USA.
