SQ flights are on time, every day now, with their new schedule. Everyone else seems to be messing around with lots of cancellations and delays. Try to get on SQ if you can.

F class had 5 people to CMB this morning and 3 coming back.

A few days ago, F had 4 people to CMB and 2 coming back.

I flew CMB-BKK on Thursday and it was zero'd out in J right up until departure and the UL website would not sell. It was also listed as a 340 and the main office in CMB maintained the eve before it would be a 340. Well it was a 330 and of the 12 J seats, only 5 were occupied... I was trying to get a reservation for later in the summer and all the weeks I'm looking at are zero'd out in J. I think you'll have to use a travel agent for UL until the night retrictons end.

I continue to have difficulty finding space on some UL flights- mostly SIN-CMB. The BKK-CMB flight now has horrible timing (leaves BKK at 3AM, ouch!) and seems to have lots of availability in J. The SIN flights seem to be sero'd out in J most days I needed to fly, but UL cleared me from the waitlist after about 24 hours.

DOH-BKK is on a 333 which is really nice in J - better than EK. It is lie-flatish.
CDG-BKK is either 333 or 346. The A340-600 is QR's newest plane and hence has the nicest J class product of the entire fleet.

Cheers

Sorry, I wrote it wrong.

I can't put off a business trip to Sri Lanka indefinetely and meant CDG-CMB, hence was inquiring about delays on DOH-CMB as well as the J product on this route

Regarding UL's flights--I am about to buy a few trips over this summer, and it appears that for the CMB-SIN flights, a lot of flights are showing J4 C0. For CMB-BKK, most flights don't list C at all (J4 Y9). Is there any way to get them to open up C seats, or will I have to book in Y and then refund that ticket if C seats open up?

I've never seen C sold on that route. All of the fares that I've bought where UL is the first segment out of CMB book into J, and like you I have never seen any C fare showing on any availibility tool for this leg. I'm not sure they sell any? There are usually seats open on this leg, I've been on it 4 times this month and it's never been full. This morning CMB-SIN only had 6 folks up front out of 12 seats.

I'm afraid I need help again on this route...UL website is showing daily flights BKK-CMB but only a few days a week on the CMB route, is that a mistake and are they actually flying CMB-BKK daily?

I already have a ticket on this route with TG but their 3 flights per week schedule is far from convenient

Cheers
Luis
