KUL drops F
Seems 787-9 has been switched for 787-8 - and First dropped as a result.
Can't see the full scope of schedule affected.
Now trying to work out where to (try and) head instead in F this December. 😔

Yes really disappointed as kul was a good entry point into Far East and usually possible to secure F. Have been downgraded to club think F will disappear off most routes and not be reinstated

But maybe that was the problem: it's getting difficult to maintain first-class as an aspiration for avios collectors.

If it's any conciliation in my opinion the chances of these flights running and tourists from Europe being admitted to Malaysia this year without quarantine is very slim. The situation is well under control there and they'll be keen to keep it that way!

Sadly I think you're right, I'm supposed to be going to Malaysia twice later this year (not on BA) and not very optimistic about the chances.

All arriving travelers will be tested on arrival, and are subject to a 14-day quarantine requirement in a government facility. All costs for the quarantine are borne by the traveler.
