BA to MNL – not even code share (I just checked to make sure), which seems a strange omission. I have only once been on an aircraft to/from Mnl that wasn’t just about full and that was on LH leaving Mnl just before midnight on New Years Eve. Best economy flight ever – there were about 40 pax.
I saw a documentary on OFW’s (Overseas Filippino Workers) recently which gave the number of OFW’s passing through NAIA as 2600 per day, which would make BA’s decision even more questionable.
