It looks as if the one JL NRT-SIN (& v/v) in First on a 747 is being dropped from the summer season for 2009 (i.e. from March 29, 2009). Replacement is a 2-class 777.
This will mess up quite a few AONEx plans.

CX:
Add Auckland (seasonal, NH winter 08-09)
Amend Johannesburg: JNB now has year-round F service, with the 346 in NH summer and back to the 744 in NH winter (unsure what will happen in NH summer 09 when the 346's are returned)
Add rider to Rome FCO: Operates with a mix of 34C and 34D depending on day of the week - only 34C has First Class. FCO is 343 service year round now.
Add rider to Frankfurt: Extra daily flights (not CX288/9, the other one, I think CX282/5?) operate with two-class 34D's.

That particular flight is one of the few in Asia that is >2000 miles which makes it very desirable for earning BA tier points. And as I start to plan the last part of my AONE5 I also find that some of CX's flights - HKG-SIN-HKG and BKK-SIN - are also becoming 2-class affairs next year.
