Maybe it's not on CGK anymore, but I seem to recall seeing it last year, or maybe that's just MNL? I'm actually scheduled on it next August to MNL but chances of me keeping that flight are slim. There is one QSuite flight 4 days a week but it arrives in MNL first thing in the morning which isn't ideal. Hopefully the flight arriving in the afternoon is upgraded by then, I actually really like the QSuite unlike some others in this thread but would be happy as well with the A359 reverse herringbone. Just seat wise I'd prefer EY's own metal to any of the 2-2-2 QR planes. I don't know what seat is used on that wet leased A330 someone linked, some seem to be quite decent but some seem to be very old angle flat. Their newer version is better than the UL A320 seat without a doubt.

Yes, that was what they Sri Lankan offered, but I said to them, I would only take it, if they could guarantee I'd get the ORC of 280 points, if not I'd take the Sri Lankan connection the day after. I'm guessing booking me in the day after was cheaper as that's what they did. Fingers crossed, won't change again.

UL364 CMB-CGK on 14/11 has been cancelled. I have managed to get onto UL CMB-KUL MH KUL-CGK
I wasn't offered anything with EY or QR. At least if no ORCs I have only dropped 60TPs.

OK so my 3 return flights AUH-CGK is begining to turn into a bit of a nightmare. On all 3 of the returns there has been at least one cancellation. The first flight I accepted the reschedule and had an extra day in Jakarta. Same on the second, although I arrived at ABu Dhabi airport this evening to find that the incoming flight from CMB is late so they have had to put me on an Etihad flight to Jakarta (Wamos ). As this change was only notified at check in at the terminal, will I be able to claim the ORC via BA? (I believe this is IRROPS and therefore it should?).
Anyway to cap it off, the third flight which was next week, also had a cancellation and am unable to work with the reschedule, so trying to cancel, but SriLankan are making it mighty difficult

Im booked for the return leg LHR-CMB-CGK tomorrow
Have been checking loadings and I seem to be the only one booked in J, with the seat map wide open in Y also (well actually almost entirely blocked in both cabins). That said its still showing J4 Y4 on EF
i have a funny feeling the route may not be long for this world

Well as per my other post I did get rerouted on the day (second trip), so will attempt to claim the ORC for that one. If they'd told me in advance, I'd have asked to be rerouted to Jakarta on Qatar, then I'd only be out 100 points, but at least I'd get to try the Q-Suites

I keep hoping with the A321LRs that UL will fly CMB - PER a couple of times a week
Happy wandering

Add in the cost of the positioning flight to Oslo, for the price of LHR-OSL then OSL-DOH-AUH, I think it'd be cheaper per TP to book LHR-AUH in economy then do another AUH-CMB-CGK turn...
